A chapter about the basics of sentences and the patterns of sentences. Here is something I have not gone over in who knows how long and something I needed to go over again. Has many examples with sentence patterns with subject, linking verbs, subject complement, transitive verb, direct object, indirect object, object complement, and intransitive verb all in it. Helping you identify subjects and verbs in the sentence. With all terms I listed before the chapter explains them and gives examples and practice sentence to use. With the end of the chapter talking about transformations of sentence from present/active to past/passive. While in the chapter there are little notes about thing writers make mistakes on that sometime you might now see. So, the notes are there to help you remember and know to look for them like using a past voice when a present voice would be better.
This is a chapter I definitively needed to read and be reminded again because it has been so look since learning and going over. I really can't remember the last time I went over sentence structure and totally forgot most of it. After going over it again it all came back again, so it is somewhere in my mind. This chapter will help me not make so many fragment sentences while typing my essays, now remembering sentence structure. The other great thing I was reminded of, past and present voices in papers. Past and present voices are something I know I need to work on in my papers. Hopefully with more reading and practice writing this will become much better.
