EAP 140 AM - WANG, Lingshan - Week 3 4/4

Sentence structure is the basic writing skill and very important.  There are some rules of sentence structure we must follow.  Never write a sentence without a subject because it is a wrong sentence.  We also need a verb to link this sentence.

e.g.
1)The winner of the game is a boy.
(‘‘the winner’’ is the simple subject, and the whole subject is ‘‘the winner of the game’’.  And ‘’is’’ is the verb.)

The second rule is that we can use pronoun in a sentence, but we can not use it as the same function with the noun which we use pronoun to replace.

e.g.
2)The teacher he enjoys playing video game. (wrong)
     The teacher enjoys playing video game.  (right)
‘‘The teacher’’ is the subject and a noun, and we want use ‘’he’’ to replace it, but both of them are subject.  So, this is a incorrect sentence.

Your blog posts are good, and you are writing a lot about grammar and strategies you have learned so far, but be sure that you are making full-sentence examples in your own words with the correct grammar. 7/10
