Sentence formula -4
Make sentences
Make sentences with adjectives expressing emotion or desire.
A child excels in English or in any language he/she learns, once she masters the skill of framing sentences with the grammar topic or any new vocabulary word the child learns. But sometimes, a few students who are new to the language find it difficult to do so even after n times of practice. For them, they can try these formulas and just apply words and easily make sentences. They have to just remember the skeleton of the formula.
Now we are going to have a look on Formula No. 4.
Sentence Formula 4:
Adjectives expressing emotion or desire.
Subject + verb + adjective + 'to' infinitive.
This formula looks familiar for those who have been going through all the formulas so far.
Yes, it’s same as our formula no.2. The difference is that we were framing sentences with adjectives like, impossible, hard, easy, pleasant in formula no. 2.
But, here we are going to practice with adjectives that express emotions or desire. The formula is the same.
I want to differentiate it and show to have a clear idea, and so 2 different posts.
What are the adjectives that express emotions or desire?
Fear, scared, afraid, happy, sad, angry, patient, anxious, eager etc.
Example: He was desperate to go there. (DESIRE).
Subject: He
Be verb: was (Event happens in past tense, he refers to one person so singular)
desperate: adjective expressing desire.
‘to’ infinitive: to go (to followed by a verb is called ‘to’ infinitive).
conclude as – to go there/to go to the party etc.
