Grammar for Presentations (1): Good VS Well + Complex Sentences<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n

\n<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n

\n<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
Summary: <\/span>This post is about how to make sentences<\/b> with linking verbs<\/b> (i.e. is).  Yet, instead of using some difficult, if not dry, grammar terms, the post offers you a funny<\/b> and interesting<\/b> way to learn how to make<\/b> long sentences (if you like, complex sentences<\/b>). In other words, you will learn the differences<\/b> between ‘good’ and ‘well’, and then move on to a new method of sentence making: NAP<\/b> (taking a small rest).  Yes, read my lips: take a nap to learn English<\/b>.  <\/span><\/div>\n

Summary:<\/span> <\/span><\/span>This post is about <\/span>making sentences<\/span> in English. <\/span> <\/span>You will learn that once you group verbs into two kinds: <\/span>Baby Verbs<\/span> (linking verbs) and <\/span>Non-Baby Verbs<\/span> (action verbs), things become easier.  In other words, this post helps you to improve both your <\/span>written and spoken English<\/span> by drawing your attention to<\/span> the center of a sentence<\/span>: verbs*.  You will also learn that westerners usually <\/span>do not <\/span>put Baby <\/span><\/p>\n

Verbs and Non-Baby Verbs together <\/span>in a sentence<\/span>, for example, ‘I <\/span>am come<\/span> from my hometown’.  <\/span><\/div>\n

*Why do I claim that the verb is the center of a sentence? <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/b>The idea <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/b>is not ‘invented’ by me, but <\/span>from three books, <\/span>English Grammar for Dummies<\/span> by Woods (2010, P.17), <\/span>Grammar for Teachers<\/span> by DeCapua (2008, P.121), and <\/span>The English Verb<\/span> by Palmer (1987, P.1). <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

Summary<\/span>: <\/span>This post is about <\/span>how to agree with someone<\/span> in English.

<\/a>Summary: <\/span>This post is about <\/span>how to make sentences<\/span> in English.  You will learn that there is always a ‘<\/span>gap<\/span>‘ between your English and English used by westerners (native speakers of English).  To bridge the gap, you will learn two ‘new’ terms: <\/span>Baby Verbs <\/span>(linking verbs) and the <\/span>NAP<\/span> way, a funny way of making sentences in English.  By reading the post, your<\/span> levels of English<\/span>, both spoken and written, will be <\/span>enhanced<\/span>.   <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
