1.7 SYNTHESIS OF SENTENCES

                          1.7 Synthesis of sentences

            

    Synthesis means the combination of a number of simple sentences into one new sentence: simple, compound or complex.

What Is a Simple Sentence?

            A simple sentence is a simple statement about casual day-to-day matters, facts, information about something and more. Another fact about simple sentences is that it has just one verb constituting a single independent clause.

What are the rules to be followed when forming simple sentences? [refer picture 1 & 2]

When forming and using simple sentences, there are some points you have to keep in mind. They are,

Ø A simple sentence should have at least one subject and one predicate.

Ø A simple sentence can also have a compound subject or a compound predicate.

Ø A simple sentence should contain only one independent clause and should express a complete thought.

Ø A simple sentence can be a declarative sentence, an interrogative sentence or an exclamatory sentence.
