Q1. How do you pronounce "subject"? In the second syllable, is it pronounced /i/ or /e/?
To determine the pronunciation of "subject," you can consult a dictionary or a pronunciation guide. An online dictionary like Merriam-Webster or Cambridge Dictionary can provide the pronunciation.
Alternatively, you can break down the word into syllables: "sub-ject." In this case, the second syllable contains the vowel sound /u/ as in "cup." So, the pronunciation of "subject" would be /ˈsʌb.dʒɛkt/ with /ʌ/ as in "up."
Q2. What is the part of speech of 'for each subject'? Is it an adjective phrase or an adverbial phrase?
To determine the part of speech of "for each subject," we need to understand the function it performs in the sentence.
In this case, "for each subject" acts as a prepositional phrase modifying the noun "teachers." It describes the relationship between the teachers and the subjects they teach.
Since it is functioning as an adverbial phrase, it modifies the verb "are" and answers the question "for what?" It tells us why there are different teachers. Therefore, "for each subject" is an adverbial phrase.
Q3. What is the meaning of 'for'? Does 'for' mean 'about'? What other prepositions can we use instead of 'for' in this sentence?
In the sentence, the preposition "for" indicates the purpose or reason for the existence of different teachers for each subject. It shows that the teachers are assigned to specific subjects.
The preposition "for" does not mean "about" in this context. Instead, it expresses a relationship between the action (teaching) and its purpose (each subject having its own dedicated teacher).
In this sentence, we can use other prepositions to convey different meanings. For example:
- "With each subject" would imply that the teachers are associated or accompanied by the subjects they teach.
- "In each subject" would imply that the teachers are found within the subjects, potentially referring to subject matter experts.
