Writing a Sentence

Points covered

1. Producing 'correct' sentences

The essential skill in writing is the ability to generate a "correct" sentence, some important points are:

Info

1.1. 'Simple' sentences

We want to start with simple sentences: "My grandfather likes football" subject + verb + object.

Info

1.2. Subject-verb-object

The commonest structure of simple sentences is, then: Subject + Verb + Object My grandfather likes football

+ nfo

Info

It would become boring and repetitive, if the sentences were simple, limits would be placed on what we could say, for example; "My name is Hamlet. I live in Denmark".

1.3. Compound sentences

Info

1.4. 'Complex' sentences

We have, however, put together a more complicated sentence than this in the passage above: "He worked as a house-painter and fought in the First World War, subsequently becoming leader of the National Socialist Party and Chancellor of Germany".
