1 Saint Gaspar College Misio nero s de la Precio sa Sangre F o r m a n d o P e r s o n a s Í n t e g r a s ENGLISH DEPARTEMENT LIST OF CONNECTORS AND TRANSITIONAL WORDS Student s name: Grade: 8º How can I express correct ideas in English? If you want to express complete ideas in English, it is convenient to take into consideration some aspects concerning grammar. a) The subject (or personal pronoun) must be present in the sentence. A person who speaks Spanish generally deletes pronouns, just because Spanish verb conjugation is different, so the "person" we are referring to as the subject of the sentence can be easily identified. In English, the same verb conjugation is used for more than one subject, that's why it is so important to establish clearly about who we are talking about. b) Sentences must sound logical in context, content and time. This means that they have to be expressed with pertinent changes in tenses. We can't start an idea in past and suddenly change it to present tense or future without any logic. Grammar elements as auxiliary verbs, time expressions, singular and plural forms, must agree within the sentence. The position of the different elements must be the correct one: frequency adverbs generally go before the main verb, except to be; adjective are placed before nouns; time expressions generally go at the end of the sentence, etc. COMPLETE IDEA STRUCTURE Sentence # 1 Sentence # 2 Sentence # 3 subject- verb compl. Subject - verb Compl. Subject- verb compl. I couldn t study English because my sister was so sick that we had to take her to the doctor.
