To make the sentences complete, either connect the subordinate clause to an independent clause, or remove the subordinating conjunction.
A run-on sentence contains more than one independent clause. The following examples are run-on sentences:. These examples are also comma splices. Each example contains two independent clauses connected by a comma. Often a run-on sentence can be fixed by making one clause subordinate. If that doesn't work, break the run-on sentence into two sentences. It is possible to have two independent clauses in one sentence. They must be connected by a coordinating conjunction.
The most common coordinating conjunctions are and, but, or, and so. LOL, D. Wood Aug Also, the sentence "I am. Do you recall this? LOL, Porsche, this one of yours has a pleasant connotation: "I took a moment to do some F-ing in the middle of the night.
Here are some short once that I can think of that express states of existence: "I am", "I care", "I have" "I possess". Something that you have to be careful to do is to examine the less-common uses of a lot of English verbs. In English, we use the progressive mood and the emphatic mood of verbs so much that it is each to forget about their ordinary indicative mood -- one that isn't used so much for many of our verbs.
As in, do these represent whole sentences and not a thought? I don't really get how this topic turned into a competition to find the shortest sentence in the world. Whoever said the shortest was nothing is wrong, because mathematically the smallest number from isn't zero. It's 1. You can't assume that the absence of something is less than that given item's worth.
This is actually different in situations where zero or less is considered a part of the whole series. For example, I have 0 dollars. You see? It all depends. As for this topic, I'm still confused about whether "Hello" is a thought or sentence. Can we focus more on this? W - I think you need to sort your moods from your tenses or aspects. There ain't no such thing as the progressive mood - there is a progressive or continuous aspect, and there are progressive or continuous tenses - He is leaving, she was leaving, they will be leaving.
And I have no idea what you mean by emphatic mood. There are three moods in English - Indicative, Subjunctive and Imperative. And far from being 'not used so much for many of our verbs', Indicative mood is what we use for most verbs nearly all the time.
What verbs are you talking about? And while we're at it, the C-word isn't American either. In terms of Anglo-Saxon expletives, we all share a common heritage. Warsaw Will Oct I'm not a teacher. I'm 31 I'm not 31 3. My class mate is matthew.
H'es 35 4. Is john in long Beach on tuesday no 5. Is john in santa ana on Wednesday no 6. Hello, i am learning English and i wonder if there is a verb in the sentence below. I don't think there is one and if not, can it still be considered as a sentence? In Israel, the years after the Oslo Accords delivered on their promise of trading conflit for prosperity in dramatic fashion. Jasper Oct Mariah Oct My version might be:. Actually, in the original sentence, clearly "the years", as the subject of the sentence, are doing the delivering; however, "their" in "their promise" refers to the Oslo Accords.
This is more a matter of semantics than grammar. The passing years don't promise anything. The promise occurred when the accords were written. It is the fulfillment of the promise the delivery that takes place during the passing years. Also, while the original sentence might seem a little awkward or confusing, it's not really ungrammatical, nonsensical or even ambiguous. Years can deliver in the same sense that, say, "The years have treated you well, my friend.
Hugh1 Oct A year later, looking at it again, I would have to agree with porsche as to what 'their' refers to - i. The Oslo Accords. However, I prefer to deal with complete subjects which make sense, so I'll stick with ''the years following the Oslo Accords' rather than simply 'years' as the subject. Let me add mine. Before we say 'GO' or any other word, phrase, whatever is the shortest sentence, we have to define fully what sentence is.
By using this definition, we can divide sentence into a fully expressed all its words are explicit and a partially expressed some of its words are ommitted. They are either implied or undertood. For example: 'John is happy' is a fully expressed sentence. The ommitted word implied is 'You'. The words ommitted are understood.
Where is John? He is in the room. The word 'yes', 'no' or 'ok' can be a sentence if the words ommited are understood. We could say: "to determine whether a word is a sentence or not, depends on the context in which it is contained". Haydar Apr Meredith May Whitney Dorsey Oct You need to proofread your site.
