Sentence syntax 2
Make sentences with impossible, hard, easy, difficult.
At school level, a child is trained to write small paragraphs or short stories or given a comprehension passage to improve his/her reading and writing practice. As they move to higher classes their level of writing goes to next stage where the sentence turn into complex and compound sentences. More activities are also done to improve speaking and writing like role plays, dramas, public speaking, sharing experiences etc. All these are done just to get a deeper knowledge about the rules of how to use the language in the correct way without any glitch while one talks or writes.
To achieve the desired results, the basic learning starts in primary where the child learns to frame sentences. So, the teacher should ensure that the child frames proper sentences after each grammar topic is taken. More worksheet and exercises should be given for practice. Without achieving this, if the child goes to the next grade, the child may find it difficult to cope up with the current syllabus as he/she is not thorough with the previous one.
For those kids who find it difficult with framing sentences, these formulas may help, as they have a pattern and the child should just apply words in the place of the formula taught. Let’s move on quickly to formula No. 2.
How to use the words - impossible, hard, easy, difficult in a sentence?
This formula is suitable for students from grade 3 onwards as they would be introduced to “ADJECTIVES”.
We are going to see how to frame sentences using adjectives “impossible, hard, easy, difficult, pleasant.
The formula is
Subject + verb + adjectives mentioned above + to infinitive.
Start your sentence with a Subject, followed by the adjectives given above (impossible, hard, easy, difficult, pleasant) and conclude with a “to infinitive”.
To infinitive:
-to is placed before the base form of the verb to form the -to infinitive.
to eat
to sleep.
For example,
The sweet is pleasant to eat.
The sweet unpleasant to eat.
The subject here is ‘sweet’. The is the article. We are using ‘the’ as we are speaking about a specific sweet. Sweet is the subject, pleasant is the adjective and conclude the sentence with a “to infinitive”. Here it is “to eat”.
