PAST PERFECT
THE NOUN PHRASE

In English, a phrase is a group of words that functions as a single unit within a sentence. Unlike a
complete sentence, a phrase does not contain both a subject and a verb. There are several types of
phrases, but here we will focus on the NOUN PHRASE.

A noun phrase has a noun as its main element (head). It may include determiners, adjectives, and
other modifiers. It functions as the subject, object, or complement in a sentence.

Typical structure:
[Determiner] + [Adjective] + Noun + [Post modifiers or Complements]

Examples: 18

 The digital multimeter

 An advanced chemical sensor
 High-voltage power supply

🔧 TYPES OF MODIFIERS

1. Determiners (optional but common)

These signal that a noun is coming.

Examples: the, a, an, some, this, these, each, every
 The multimeter
 An automated valve
 These temperature sensors

2. Pre-modifiers

These appear before the noun and usually consist of:

 Adjectives:
high-voltage transformer, automated control system
 Nouns used as adjectives (noun modifiers):
circuit board layout, software update process
 Participles (V-ing / V-ed):
processing unit, oxidized metal surface

3. Head noun
This is the main element of the phrase – the object, person, or concept.
 sensor, algorithm, tank, control system

4. Post-modifiers or Complements

These come after the head noun and give extra detail. They are often:
 Prepositional phrases:
a flow meter in the reactor line
a voltage drop across the resistor
 Relative clauses (for more advanced learners):
a controller that adjusts the process parameters
 Infinitive clauses (purpose):
a device to monitor current fluctuations.
 Pre-modifiers – in fixed order before the noun

These include adjectives, participles, nouns used as adjectives, and they follow a typical
sequence:

Opinion → Size → Age → Shape → Color → Origin → Material → Purpose → Head Noun

This is known as the Royal Order of Adjectives.

🔧 In technical English, we often use:

 Material: steel, copper, plastic
 Function/Purpose: monitoring, control, data
 Technical descriptors: digital, automated, real-time, wireless 19

Examples:

 A high-voltage power supply

→ [Size: high-voltage] + [Purpose: power] + Noun: supply
 An embedded real-time control system
→ [V-ed adjective: embedded] + [Time: real-time] + [Purpose: control] + system

✍ PRACTICE ACTIVITIES

ACTIVITY A. Identify the Parts of the Noun Phrase

Underline and classify its components (Determiner / Modifier / Head / Post-modifier).

1. The digital temperature sensor in the reactor

2. A Python-based control algorithm

3. An oxidized copper wire

4. The main power distribution panel

5. A safety protocol for chemical handling

ACTIVITY B. Identify and Analyze

Read the following sentences and underline the noun phrases. Then, label their parts: determiner
(Det), modifier(s) (Mod), head noun (N), post-modifier (Post).

1. The emergency shut-off valve is located near the pressure tank.

2. An optimized process control algorithm ensures system stability.

3. The technician adjusted a thermal sensor in the central unit.

4. Several low-noise amplifiers were connected to the circuit board.

5. A protective casing for the lithium battery was damaged.

 MODAL VERBS

Modal verbs are auxiliary verbs that express necessity, possibility, ability, permission, advice, or
probability. They modify the meaning of the main verb, which always follows in its base form
(infinitive without "to").

They are essential in both spoken and technical written English to:

 Give instructions
 Express rules and safety measures
 Describe technical conditions or specifications
 Suggest solutions or hypothetical outcomes

21

❓Interrogative:

Process Industry

 "The temperature must remain below 80°C during the reaction."

 "Operators should monitor the pressure gauge regularly."
 "The tank might explode if the vent is blocked."
 "If the cooling system fails, the solution would overheat."

🔌 Electronics

 "Engineers can reprogram the microcontroller remotely."

 "You must not reverse the polarity of the power supply."

 UNIT 3- PASSIVE VOICE
Passive voice is a grammatical construction in English where the subject of the sentence receives the
action of the verb, rather than doing the action. In other words, in a passive sentence, the object of an active
sentence becomes the subject, and the focus is placed on the action or the result of the action, rather than
on the person or thing that performs it.

The use of passive voice is very common in scientific and technical documents. This is because these types
of texts often focus on processes, results, and systems, rather than on the person or device performing the
action.

How is the Passive Voice Formed? 25

The passive voice is formed using the verb "to be" (in the correct tense) + the past participle of the main
verb.

Passive with agent:

If we want to say who or what performs the action, we use “by”.

Example:
🔧 The experiment was conducted by the students.
(El experimento fue realizado por los estudiantes.)

Passive without agent:

In many cases, the agent is not mentioned. This often happens when the agent is unknown, unimportant, or
obvious.

Example:
⚡ The device was tested yesterday.
(El dispositivo fue probado ayer.)
This structure is often translated into Spanish using the "se" construction, especially in technical contexts:
"Se probó el dispositivo."

Examples
1. When the net charge is non-zero and motionless, the phenomenon is known as static electricity.
2. A system of mechanical units is completely defined by three fundamental quantities: length, mass, and time.

When Do We Use the Passive Voice?

We often use the passive:
✅ When we don’t know who performs the action:
The cause of the failure was not identified.
✅ When it is obvious or irrelevant who does the action:
The circuit was damaged. (We don’t need to say who damaged it.)
✅ To emphasize the result or the object of the action:
The sample was heated to 100°C.
(Not important who heated it, what matters is the result.)
✅ In scientific and formal writing, where the focus is on the process or results, not on the people
involved.

The Evolution of Circuit Design
In recent years, new tools have been developed to improve circuit
design. Today, printed circuit boards (PCBs) are designed using
computer-aided design (CAD) software. Once the design is
completed, the files are sent to a manufacturer where the boards
are produced automatically.
In the past, boards were drawn by hand and etched manually. This process was slower and less accurate. Over
the last two decades, many innovations have been introduced to make PCB production faster and more reliable.
By the time automation was implemented in most factories, thousands of boards had already been
manufactured using semi-manual techniques. Now, smart algorithms are used to optimize the layout of
electronic components. In the future, AI tools will be used more frequently in the design and testing phases of 28
PCBs.

 LOGICAL CONNECTORS

Logical connectors are words or phrases that connect ideas, sentences, or clauses to show relationships
such as addition, contrast, cause and effect, purpose, or sequence. They are essential in English because they
help to create coherence, clarity, and flow in both written and spoken communication.

In technical contexts, logical connectors are used mainly to:

 explain procedures and processes

 describe causal relationships
 compare different methods or substances
 show results or consequences
 provide examples or explanations
