March 30, 2012www.<strong>englishbd</strong>.<strong>com</strong> evsjv‡`‡k me©cÖ_g Bs‡iwR wel‡qi c~Y©v½ I‡qemvBUSentence & Its ComponentsSentence is the <strong>com</strong>bination of words that expresses a wholemeaning of the speaker‟s statement. Sentence has some elementsthat are shown below.Subject Verb Object ModifierWe Studied Economics last nightSubject: The subject is the agent of the sentence in the active voice;it is the person or thing that performs or is responsible for theaction of the sentence. And it normally situates in front of the verb.Note: Every sentence in <strong>English</strong> must have a subject. In case of<strong>com</strong>mands, the subject „you‟ remains understood (Dn¨).The subject may be a singular or plural noun/pronoun.Coffee is delicious. Theyare playing chess.The subject may be a noun phrase. A noun phrase is a group ofwords ending with a noun (It cannot begin with a preposition).That new car is Sathee‟s.More examples:We girls are not going to see that movie. Mary and I went to atrip last night. The weather was very bad yesterday. Thechemistry professor cancelled today‟s class. The bank closed attwo o‟clock.A subject can be a pronoun used for an impersonal verb. Asthe subject of an impersonal verb, the pronoun is not actuallyused in place of a noun, but is part of an idiomaticexpression.It rains quite often in the summer.It is hard to believe that he is dead.In some sentences, the actual subject does not appear innormal subject position. The word „there‟ can act as a pseudosubjectand is treated like a subject when changing anassertive sentence to a question. However, the true subjectappears after the verb, and the number of the true subjectcontrols the verb.There was a fire in that building last night.singular verb singular subThere were many people in that place.plural verbplural subVerb: The verb follows the subjects in an assertive sentence;it generally shows the action of a sentence.Note: Every sentence must have a finite verb. The finiteverb may be a single word.Rana runs too fast. Rabu loves Rafiq.The finite verb may be a verb phrase. A verb phraseconsists of one or more auxiliaries and one principal/main verb. The auxiliaries always situates in front of the mainverb.I was going to Chittagong. (Auxiliary-was, main verb-going)He has been climbing the tree.(Auxiliary-has, been; main verb-climbing)More examples of verbs & verb phrases: She will go toschool tomorrow. Farhana is very tall.She must have gone to the bank.Rupa has gone home.Subo is watching television.It was raining at 11 o‟clock last night.Complement:Word that identifies, describes or gives information abouta subject and <strong>com</strong>pletes an object, noun, adjective and verbis called <strong>com</strong>plement.Raja is depresseds.<strong>com</strong>depressedRani lookss.<strong>com</strong>He made me nervous.o.<strong>com</strong>Do they understand the need of secrecy?Farhana was interested in learning drivingadj.<strong>com</strong>They bought a book yesterday.v.<strong>com</strong>Word that identifies, describes or gives information abouta subject and <strong>com</strong>pletes an object /noun / adjective / verbis called <strong>com</strong>plement. A verb <strong>com</strong>plement <strong>com</strong>pletes theverb. It is also called object. It is similar to the subjectbecause it is usually a noun or noun phrase; however, itgenerally follows the verb in a sentence in active voice.Every sentence does not need a <strong>com</strong>plement.The <strong>com</strong>plement cannot begin with a preposition.A <strong>com</strong>plement answers the question what? Or whom?Examples of verb <strong>com</strong>plements object: You bought a cake yesterday.(What did you buy?) Rehan was driving a new car.(What was Rehan driving) He wants to drink some water.(What does he want to drink?) Ratri saw Rehan at the movies last night(Whom did Ratri see at the movies?) They called Dalia yesterday. (Whomdid they call yesterday?) Kadar was smoking a cigarette.(What was Kadar smoking?)Modifier:A modifier tells the time, place or manner of the action.Very often it is a prepositional phrase. A prepositional phraseis a group of words that begins with a prepositionand ends with a noun.Note: a modifier of time usually <strong>com</strong>es last if more than onemodifier is present.Examples of prepositional phrases: Inthe morningAt the universityOn the tableA modifier can also be an adverb or an adverbial phrase.Last nightHurriedlyNext yearOutdoorsYesterdayEvery sentence does not need a modifier.A modifier answers the questions when? Where? orHow?Examples of modifiers:|| AUTHOR :: DIGITAL SUCCESS IN ENGLISH || www.sarbin.peperonity.<strong>com</strong> || Email: sarbin_munshi@yahoo.<strong>com</strong> || Next Page >>

According to the construction.1. According to the meaning or purpose, Sentences arefive types. These are given below:strong feeling or attitude is called Exclamatory Sentence.For example: Hurrah! Bangladesh won the Matchagainst Australia.2. According to the construction: According to theconstruction. Sentences are three types. These are-1. Simple Sentence2. Complex Sentence3. Compound SentenceFrom the perspective of phrase and clause sentences canbe classified into three types: Simple sentence Complex sentence Compound sentence1. Simple Sentence: A simple sentence has only one clausethat means it has a subject, a finite verb. Such as-Tami lives in America.2. Complex Sentence: A <strong>com</strong>plex sentence has a main clause(independent clause) and minimum/ at least a subordinateclause (dependent clause). For example:If they <strong>com</strong>e here in the evening We will meet them.Subordinate clauseMain clause3. Compound Sentence: A <strong>com</strong>pound sentence has twoindependent clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction such asand, but etc. For example: Kader is a brilliant student but he isnot a responsible boy.Clause Clauses have subject and verb.Clauses are divided into two major categories,* Dependent clauses* Independent clauses.An independent clause, is a clause that can be algrammatical sentence by itself.A dependent clause is a clause that cannot be a sentencedby itself. Therefore, a dependent clause is alwaysconnected to an independent clause.For example,The president kept none of the promises that hemade.In the above example the clause “The president kept none ofthe promises:”- can form a <strong>com</strong>plete sentence. Therefore,it‟s the independent clause. The clause “that|| AUTHOR :: DIGITAL SUCCESS IN ENGLISH || www.sarbin.peperonity.<strong>com</strong> || Email: sarbin_munshi@yahoo.<strong>com</strong> || Next Page >>

Therefore, it is dependent clause.Difference between Phrase and Clause:Phrase and Clause both are group of words. But the keydifference between two is that the phrase has not the twomajor parts- Subject and Finite verbI will go there if she goes.Here the clause “I will go there” can form a <strong>com</strong>pletesentence; so, it is the independent clause.But the clause “if she goes” That‟s why it is consideredas the dependent clause.Whether you understand the meaning of a sentence or not,identify the <strong>com</strong>pulsory elements of a sentence- subject andverb.Always be certain that the sentence has an independent clause.And the main clause has a finite verb. Every year, thousands of people in Muslim countries ----- the custom of various religious festivals. a.enjoyingb. to enjoyC. who enjoy d. enjoyIn the question above, there is no finite/ main verb for the clause.Analyzing the options we find that option „a‟ willnot work as „verb + ing‟ form cannot alone be a verbwithout the help of the auxiliary verbs. In case of choice„b‟ an infinitive can not also be a main verb by itself.Option „c‟ provides us a clause marker word meaningthat there is one dependent clause and for that another verbwill be needed; two verbs for two clauses. Option„d‟ meets all the criteria of being a verb with no clause markerand being the main verb for the independentclause.In clauses, check for three things- a clause marker (who,which, because, since, as, though etc.) a subject and averb. The subject will follow the clause marker. One clausemarker in a sentence indicates that there is a subordinate/dependent clause. So be careful in using twoverbs- one for the independent clause and another for thesubordinate clause. If there are two clause markers in onesentence, the process remains same. Industrial psychologists have found that most people- towork even if they be<strong>com</strong>e very wealthy.a. continuing b. continuec. who continue d. continuesHere it will need a main verb for the clause „that most people---So the correct answer is option b. Remember not to ask any question in the dependent orsubordinate clause. Never use verb before the subject in thedependent clause.Incorrect: Do you know where is he? Correct:Do you know where he is?
