CHAPTER 2 TYPES OF SENTENCES ACCORDING TO USE AND STRUCTURE
The Sentence is the largest grammatical unit in the English Rankscale and it refers to a group of words that begins with a capital letter and ends with any of these three punctuation marks: the period or full stop, the exclamation mark and the question mark. The English sentences are generally classified along two lines: classification based on the structural pattern or syntactic classes and classification based on the functions these sentences perform. We shall examine these classifications and discuss the type of sentences under each of these two basic classifications. However, we shall look in-depth at structural classification. I have written on the functional classification of sentences in another post. Do check it out. Let us see types of sentences according to structure with examples. Shall we?
When the students wrote sentences that do not follow grammatical or syntactical standards of sentences in English, these sentences are categorized as error sentences. Traditionally, content, organization, expression, and mechanics are major components that are measured in students’ writings . For this research, our main focus is not in the assessment of students’ writings. Instead, we focus on analyzing types of sentences that the students dominantly or marginally use in their writing assignments. In the process of obtaining students’ writing assignments, we used a blog in which students could post their paragraph online. When the submission is due, we closed the link. This method of data collection is related to the use of technology in the teaching of English writing. In terms of using technology in writing, the use of ‘word access’ simply means “how to adapt writing technologies for use in a variety of writing contexts” . Another reason of why we used a blog is because we intended to provide a medium where students could see their written works each other. The difficulty of the problem lies in the peculiarity of negative expressions in Modern English. Let us take two sentences, both negative in meaning: She did not know when she would be seeing any of them again. Helen's tremendous spell - perhaps no one ever quite escaped from it. They are obviously different in their ways of expressing negation. In we see a special form of the predicate verb which is due to the negative character of the sentence and is in so far a grammatical sign of its being negative. In , on the other hand, there is no grammatical feature to show that the sentence is negative. Indeed, there is no grammatical difference whatever between the sentences.
