What is a sentence?
Definitions, Examples, . . .
A sentence
is a group of words which consists of subject and predicate and
expresses a complete thought.
Subject – names who/what is being talked about
Predicate – tells us something about the subject (action/ state of being).
Examples: Subject + verb
The baby cried.
The old man died.
She has gone.
The game ended.
Everyone laughed.
The beautiful girl giggled.
Examples: Subject (verb + adverb)
The baby cried bitterly.
The old man died yesterday.
We worked hard.
They played well.
Examples: Subject + trans verb + object
The boy kicked the ball.
The dog bit the girl.
The satellite rotates the earth.
Edison invented the electric bulb.
The chairman made a livelily speech.
Examples: Subject + trans verb + Direct object + Indirect Object
The President awarded him a gold medal.
I bade my friends a sad farewell.
He gave her some flowers.
She told me an interesting story.
Subject + link verb + complement
The room smells bad.
She felt sick.
Samuel is an engineer.
The boy is clever.
We are soldiers.
This is a disastrous action.
She was a beloved girl.
They were very friendly.
To sum up, a sentence:
must have subject and predicate (verb);
must express a complete thought;
needs to make sense;
must have a logical word order;
has to begin with a capital letter and end with appropriate terminal/end punctuation mark (./?/!)
can be short or long.
should be acceptable to native speakers of the language.
Look at the following group of wordsCan they qualify a sentence?
The clever student in our class.
If you go home earlier.
Samuel killed a big stone.
the party ruled South Africa for the past 40 years.
are Ethiopians we all
The beautiful girl walking down stairs.
The rain was envious.
She sang a beautiful song.
This document provides a lesson plan for teaching students about using prepositions in sentences. It includes an introduction, subject matter, materials, procedures, evaluation, and assignment.

The difficulties faced by chinese students learning englishMonty Vorster
Chinese students face many difficulties when learning English, including with sounds, pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, culture and idioms. Specifically, they struggle with English phonemes, stress, rhythm, intonation, consonant and vowel sounds. Grammar challenges include parts of speech, tenses, pronouns, word order and prepositions. Vocabulary is difficult due to false cognates, small verbs and idioms. Pronunciation of consonant clusters, linking and reductions are ongoing hurdles as well. Mastering these areas requires significant practice to overcome the differences between Chinese and English.

Stylistics and it’s relation with linguistics and literatureMuhammad Adnan Ejaz
Stylistics is a branch of linguistics that studies style through a scientific analysis of linguistic features in different types of language varieties. It examines how readers interact with and are affected by the language of literary texts. Stylistics can be viewed as the study of phonological, lexical, and syntactical linguistic features that directly impact a text's meaning. It originated in the 19th century as the study of literary style and has influenced both linguistics and literature by analyzing the effectiveness of language units in different speech types and examining how artistic expressiveness is achieved in literary works.
This document defines and describes English newspaper style. It notes that newspaper style aims to inform and instruct readers through specific lexical, grammatical, and phraseological conventions.

Headlines also aim to briefly inform readers about the news in concise syntactic structures. The document then provides examples and descriptions of different elements of newspaper style, including brief news items, headlines, advertisements, editorials, scientific prose, and official documents.

It explores stylistic analysis through a variety of texts and emphasizes the linguistic aspects of stylistic study. The textbook is based on several theoretical sources from the Slovak, British, American and Slavonic traditions. It covers topics such as definitions of style, stylistic devices, expressive means, functional styles of English, and a stylistic classification of English vocabulary. The goal is for students to familiarize themselves with different language usages and apply stylistic analysis to texts.
The document discusses various literary devices and techniques used in writing. It defines stylistic devices as characteristics that make a text distinctive. It explains that writers use literary devices like figurative language and imagery to improve writing and make it more interesting. Some examples of literary devices provided include metaphor, simile, personification, and irony. The document also covers other concepts like tone, conflict, and forms of poetry like couplet and haiku.

The document provides an overview of a session on linguistic analysis of media texts for journalism students. It covers several key points:
1. The objectives of the session are for students to understand grammar concepts needed to analyze English print media, describe rhetorical features used in media texts, and analyze different genres of journalistic writing.
2. The session will include a discussion on frameworks for text analysis and revising grammatical terms, as well as rhetorical devices used in texts.
3. The document outlines various frameworks and concepts to help students analyze media texts, including examining headlines, genres, rhetorical patterns, word choice, and identifying facts versus opinions.
Stylistics is the scientific study of language and literature and its branches. It links linguistic study to literary criticism. There are several branches of stylistics including computational stylistics, lexical stylistics, comparative stylistics, phonostylistics, grammatical stylistics, the function of stylistics, stylistic syntax, and individual style study. Stylistics helps to better understand language and its use in different contexts through the analysis of linguistic and textual elements.
The document provides a step-by-step guide for analyzing the style and techniques used in a non-fiction text.

What is Style and Stylistics? Traditional, Modern and Linguistic Concept of S...AleeenaFarooq
Stylistics is a branch of linguistics that studies style in a scientific way. It applies the methods of linguistics to analyze stylistic variations in language use. There are different concepts of style - traditionally it was seen as proper adornment of thought, but modern linguistics sees it arising from choices in expression. Stylistics objectively analyzes texts at phonological, syntactic and semantic levels to understand an author's style and how it conveys meaning and attitude. It encompasses both literary and general styles of language. The consistent linguistic features in a text are its main area of study.
- Stylistics is the scientific study of style in written and oral texts through the examination of linguistic features like grammar, vocabulary, semantics, and phonology.
- It began in the 1950s and analyzes how these linguistic aspects influence readers' understanding and perception of texts.
- Early influential books and articles on stylistics applied linguistic analysis to literary criticism and focused on determining how language shapes readers' responses.
Stylistics introduction, Definitions of StylisticsAngel Ortega
This document defines stylistics and discusses its branches. Stylistics is the analysis of linguistic variation in actual language use. It examines how the same content can be expressed differently and analyzes styles across texts. Stylistics considers the natural properties of language that ensure intended effects. The document also distinguishes between spoken and written language at the phonetic, lexical, and syntactic levels, and categorizes words as common, formal, technical, and slang.

The lesson proper involves motivating students with a scrambled paragraph activity, presenting the objectives and steps of paragraph writing, having students practice changing sentences between active and passive voice, and evaluating their understanding with exercises.
Jennifer Wilson presented strategies for teaching literacy to non-native English speakers ages 3-5. The key components are:
1) Focus on oral language development through songs, stories, and actions before expecting reading and writing.
2) Immerse children in the language by using everyday phrases, labeling items, and exposing children to English TV and books.
3) Teach the sounds of the language systematically while continuing to provide rich vocabulary through stories, pictures, and questions.
This document provides 3 keys to better listening comprehension:
1. Understand what makes native speakers hard to understand, such as similar vowels/diphthongs, shortened and linked sounds, contracted verbs/negatives, weak forms, and phonetic links.
2. Improve your pronunciation by being aware of common traps like the same spelling representing different sounds and identifying word stress.
3. Learn primarily with your ears rather than your eyes by focusing on listening rather than reading. This allows you to better comprehend native speech patterns.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
