Let R be a commutative ring with unity and let M be a left R-module. We define a proper submodule N of M to be a weakly prime if whenever  r  R,  x  M, 0  r x  N implies  x  N  or  r  (N:M). In fact this concept is a generalization of the concept weakly  prime ideal, where a proper ideal P of R is called a weakly prime, if for all a, b  R, 0  a b  P implies a  P or b  P. Various properties of weakly prime submodules are considered. 

Let R be a commutative ring with identity and let M be a unitary left R-module. The purpose of this paper is to investigate some new results (up to our knowledge) on the concept of semi-essential submodules which introduced by Ali S. Mijbass and Nada K. Abdullah, and we make simple changes to the definition relate with the zero submodule, so we say that a submodule N of an R-module M is called semi-essential, if whenever N ∩ P = (0), then P = (0) for each prime submodule P of M. Various properties of semi-essential submodules are considered.

        In this article, unless otherwise established, all rings are commutative with identity and all modules are unitary left R-module. We offer this concept of WN-prime as new generalization of weakly prime submodules. Some basic properties of weakly nearly prime submodules are given. Many characterizations, examples of this concept are stablished.

      Let R be a commutative ring with identity and M be an unitary R-module. Let (M) be the set of all submodules of M, and : (M)  (M)  {} be a function. We say that a proper submodule P of M is -prime if for each r  R and x  M, if rx  P, then either x  P + (P) or r M  P + (P) . Some of the properties of this concept will be investigated. Some characterizations of -prime submodules will be given, and we show that under some assumptions prime submodules and -prime submodules are coincide. 

Let R be a commutative ring with unity and let M be an R-module. In this paper we
study strongly (completely) hollow submodules and quasi-hollow submodules. We investigate
the basic properties of these submodules and the relationships between them. Also we study
the be behavior of these submodules under certain class of modules such as compultiplication,
distributive, multiplication and scalar modules. In part II we shall continue the study of these
submodules.

Let R be a commutative ring with identity 1 and M be a unitary left R-module. A submodule N of an R-module M is said to be approximately pure submodule of an R-module, if for each ideal I of R. The main purpose of this paper is to study the properties of the following concepts: approximately pure essentialsubmodules, approximately pure closedsubmodules and relative approximately pure complement submodules. We prove that: when an R-module M is an approximately purely extending modules and N be Ap-puresubmodulein M, if M has the Ap-pure intersection property then N is Ap purely extending.
