So, What is a sentence in
english?
Sentence is a group of words that
expresses a complete idea. Every
sentence includes at least one subject
and verb. (The verb may be followed by
an object or a completement.)
 When people are grouped into socities
(the example above is not a sentence). The idea is
not complete

I go to school by bus
The idea is complete

Because these resources are limited


The idea is not complete

Economics is the study of how humans make


decisions in the face of scarcity.
The idea is complete
There are four basics
types of sentences
 Statement
 Question
 Exclamation
 command
Here are some patterns
and definitions
 Statement

A statement gives information or opinions

For example :

a. English is a wonderful languange


b. I just bought my books
Statement : pattern
The verb follows the subject.
You might find many english sentences using this kind of
structure, where the verb follows the subject. Look at the
following examples of sentences

For example:
Economics is the study of how humans make decisions in the face
of scarcity. These can be individual decisions, family decisions,
business decisions or societal decisions.

Scarcity means that human wants for goods, services and


resources exceed what is available. Resources, such as labor,
tools, land, and raw materials arenecessary to produce the goods
and services we want but they exist in limited supply.
Other variety of sentences
pattern in form of statement
1. Starting sentence with an adverb
 One technique you can use so as to avoid beginning a
sentence with the subject is to use an adverb.

Look at the following examples:

1. She slowly turned the corner and peered into the


murky basement.

2. Slowly, she turned the corner and peered into the


murky basement.

Note that an adverb used at the beginning of a sentence


is usually followed by a comma.
Another example of adverb starting
at the beginning of the sentence

For example
 Cautiously, he unlocked the kennel and
waited for the dog’s reaction.
Starting a Sentence with a
Prepositional Phrase
For example:
 The terrified child hid underneath the
heavy wooden table.

Move the prepotional phrase :

Underneath the heavy wooden table, the


terrified child hid.
The other examples of prepotional
phrase starting the beginning of the
sentence
 Inthe classroom, you may find some
student were cheating

 At 7.30, he’ll pick me up

 Inthe morning, I’ll get the kids clean the


dining room
INVERTED SENTENCE
Starting a Sentence by
Inverting Subject and Verb
For example:
Inverted sentence is the a pattern of sentence which
the subject follows the verb. So it is inverted, where in
mostly sentence structure the subject comes first
before the verb. Generally, inverted sentence is used
when you are speaking using negative adverb.

For example:
1. He not only won, but he also broke the record
The inverted sentences:
Not only did he win, but he also broke the record
Inverted sentence happens in some
situations such:

1. Negative adverbs
2. Using here and there
Inverted sentences:
negative adverb
 When you are speaking both writing using
negative adverb, you may use inverted sentences.
 Pattern:
 Negative adverb+ Auxiliary verb + (verb)+
Subject + main verb

For example
 One seldom hears a politician say sorry

Inverted sentences:
 Seldom does one hear politician say sorry
I have never understood less about
women
 Inverted:

Never have I understood less about


women
Negative aux+ Auxiliary verb + Subject +
main verb
They have scarcely been on time
Inverted:
Scarcely have they been on time

2. The boss has seldom been so upset


Inverted:
Seldom has the boss been so upset
Inverted sentence: here and
 Inversion can happen after here, and after there when it is as adverb of
place. You can use a main verb without an auxiliary verb or modal verb.

For example:
1. The bus comes here
 The invertes sentence:
 Here comes the bus

2. Your coffee is here


Inverted sentence:
 Here’s your coffee

3. I opened the door and michael stood there, all covered in mud
Inverted sentence:
I opened the door and there stood michael, all covered in mud
Question
A question asks for information

For example:
What is your native languange
exclamation
 Exclamation expresses surprise, pleasure, or other emotions.
We usually put an exclamation mark (!) at the end of the exclamation.

Exclamation mark replaces a period at the end of a sentence. It can also


replace a midsentence comma if it is inside quotation marks.

Example :
1. what a beautiful dress you have!
(do not use a period; an exclamation mark indicates that the sentence is
completed)

2. “Help me! “ Bob yelled. : correct sentence


“help me!, Bob yelled : incorrect sentence ( it is wrong to put a comma
since an exclamation mark is enough to indicate that the sentence is
pause)
exclamation
 What a beautiful scenery
Pattern :
1. What + article (a) + adjective + subject

How difficult it is
Pattern
2. How +adjective + subject + verb
How terrible she is
Imperative sentence
 imperative sentence is a sentence that expresses a
direct command, request, inivtations, warning, or
instruction.

 Like the other kinds of sentences, imperative sentence


has at least one subject and one verb. However, in the
imperative sentence, the subject is omitted.
For example:
1. Open the door !
(you) open the door! ( the subject “you” is omitted in the
imperative sentence , and the subject is followed by the
verb “ open”)
Imperative
 Open the door !
 (You) open the door !

Sentences analysis:
Subject : you (omitted)
Verb : open
Object :door
Pattern
Verb1 + (object)
Example :

2)Sit down!
Prohibition
Dilarang merokok
1) Don’t smoke
Pattern : Do + not + verb1

Ex:
2) don’t run!
3) don’t park
4 ) don’t cheat!
