Every word in a title except for prepositions The book is “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets”. 17 spend Christmas at my ©Julie Harvey and Sylvie Higgins SIMPLE SENTENCE STRUCTURE A sentence MUST have: A subject, A verb, And a complete idea Here is how you should place your information in order to have a strong sentence: SUBJECT VERB OBJECT I have a car. They play tennis Lisa went to a party. SUBJECT VERB OBJECT PLACE We walked together to school. Harry is going SUBJECT VERB OBJECT PLACE TIME We walked together to school yesterday. Harry is going to the park at the moment. SUBJECT VERB OBJECT WITH AN ADJECTIVE I have a blue car. Lisa went to a boring party. SUBJECT VERB OBJECT WITH AN ADVERB They play tennis terribly. Lisa went to parties frequently. 18 to the park. ©Julie Harvey and Sylvie Higgins COMPOUND SENTENCE STRUCTURE What is a compound sentence? 2 simple sentences (subjects + verbs + rest) joined by a coordinating conjunction (and, but, or, so) SUBJECT 1 VERB 1 REST 1 COORDINATING CONJUNCTION SUBJECT 2 VERB 2 REST 2 I play soccer AND I play Tennis. We study everyday BUT we do not study on weekends. I can try this OR I can try that. We work hard SO we might pass. 19 ©Julie Harvey and Sylvie Higgins COMPLEX SENTENCE STUCTURE What is a complex sentence? A complex sentence has 1 complete sentence (1 subject+ 1 verb + 1 rest and the idea is complete) and another sentence that begins with a SUBORDINATING CONJUNCTION. The second sentence is incomplete (that means either it has no subject, no verb, or the idea is incomplete). Subect 1 Verb 1 I We Suzie play study takes Julian did not pass Rest 1 (idea is complete Subordinating Conjunction tennis every day the bus to school his year because however when I want It is raining. although he worked Subject 2 Verb 2 Rest 2 to become a pro. not on Saturdays. very hard last year. COMPOUND-COMPLEX STRUCTURE: What is a compound-complex sentence? A sentence that contains 3 ideas, in which 2 sentences are complete and joined together by a coordinating conjunction and 1 sentence that is incomplete or dependant. The dependant sentence is joined to the other 2 using a subordinating conjunction. I We play have soccer homework Coordinating Conjunction and but Sam needs to relax and Subject 1 20 Verb 1 Rest 1 Subject 2 Verb 2 I we play have he needs Rest 2 tennis two days to do it to take a vacation Subordinating conjunction but although before I hate it. I will do it all tonight. he gets sick. ©Julie Harvey and Sylvie Higgins PROBLEMATIC SENTENCES REMEMBER that a sentence MUST have 3 components: A subject + a verb + the rest (and a complete thought) If it does not have all 3 it is NOT A SENTENCE……. Here are 3 problems that ESL students make when writing sentences in English. 1. THE RAMBLING SENTENCE: This is a sentence that contains too many different details and is too long. If you have more than 3 ideas, it is usually a sign of a RAMBLING sentence. Another clue to help identify the RAMBLING is to read the text out loud. If it is not possible to read the sentence in one single breath than chances are, it is a RAMBLING. Example: Julie is younger than Sylvie and she has less white hair, actually though her hair is shorter and lighter, but Julie’s hair is thicker and smoother and she is able to tie it up just the same even if her hair is shorter Julie can make a ponytail. Chop it up into different sentences and use CONNECTORS. Julie is younger than Sylvie and she has less white hair. Actually, Julie’s hair is shorter and lighter, but it is thicker and smoother. However, Julie is able to tie it up and make a ponytail even if her hair is shorter. 21 ©Julie Harvey and Sylvie Higgins 2. THE RUN-ON SENTENCE: This is a sentence that contains two complete sentences BUT does not have any CONJUNCTION. Example: Marc is tall, he is strong. Add a CONJUNCTION Marc is tall and he is strong. 3. THE FRAGMENT: This is a part of a sentence. Either it does not have a subject OR it does not have a verb OR the idea is incomplete. Examples: Arrived at the place we went to eat. (no subject) Claude at the park. (no verb) We went there. (idea is not complete or clear) Add a subject or a verb or details to make it a COMPLETE sentence. When we arrived at the place, we went to eat. Claude went to the park. We went there after the party. 22 ©Julie Harvey and Sylvie Higgins PUNCTUATION Because……. You can't hold your breath forever… It makes your ideas clearer and easier to follow. We naturally make pauses when we speak. Punctuation Mark Comma Period Colon Semi-colon Question mark Exclamation mark Hyphen Parentheses Elipsis 23 What it looks like , . : ; ? ! () … Used for Example To separate two ideas that logically go together. To separate ítems in a list. I went to the park, then I went home. I need a pencil, an eraser, a pen and paper. To put an end to an idea. We went to work last night. To introduce a list. You will need: paper, tape and a pencil. To separate two different ideas that complete one another. I went to work; therefore, I was tired. To ask a question. Do you like English? To show expression. Look! Santa Claus is here. To show examples. I went to the stores – Garage, Toys-R-Us and HM. To show examples. To add information. I went to the stores (Ardene, Toys-R-Us and H&M).

As a result, all I remember is waking up in the hospital and being in pain. The doctor told me that I was lucky because the car was not going very fast. All I had was a broken wrist and many bruises. However, I was alive. Conclusion Example 7. It wraps up the text. 8. It summarizes the principaux) 9. It uses SYNONYMS. main points.

I am lucky (aspects because the driver of the car had slowed down when he saw me crossing the street. *IT DOES NOT COPY SENTENCES USED IN THE PARAGRAPHS OF THE TEXT. 25 ©Julie Harvey and Sylvie Higgins ADJECTIVES What they are used for Where they are placed How to write them To describe, quantify or qualify a noun. Before a noun, not after NO "S" Example: I have two cars. Example: This is a new book. Dave eats Italian food. She drives a green scooter. Example: We have four big dogs.

Looks like a continuous or progressive tense verb because of its ING ending. BUT It is NOT a verb. EXAMPLES WALKING is a good way to stay in shape. Laurie goes DANCING every Friday night. These are my favourite RUNNING shoes. HOW DOES IT WORK? It can be the SUBJECT in a sentence. SKIING was my favourite sport when I was younger. It can be the OBJECT in a sentence Julie goes SHOPPING every Monday night. It can be an ADJECTIVE that modifies a noun. It is used after a PREPOSITION. She brought her SWIMMING goggles. She was working on WRITING her resume. If you notice NONE of the ING words above have the auxiliary verb To Be before them ! RACING is a dangerous sport CLUE TO HELP YOU KNOW WHEN TO USE A GERUND 29 If you can replace the GERUND with the word “SOMETHING” and it makes sense, THEN IT IS O.K.. = SOMETHING is a dangerous sport (O.K.) RACING, John had an accident ≠ Something, John had an accident (NOT O.K..) ©Julie Harvey and Sylvie Higgins FULL INFINITIVE WHAT IS IT? HOW DOES IT WORK? EXAMPLES Looks like simple present tense verb. BUT It is NOT conjugated with the subject. Laurie goes TO SEE her friends very Friday night. Starts with TO and NEVER FOR These are my favourite shoes TO RACE with. It can begin a sentence. TO WORK hard is a good quality to have. It can be placed after a verb. It can be placed at the end of a sentence. Walking is a good way TO STAY in shape. I like TO PLAY sports with my brother. He likes playing his guitar TO RELAX.

For example: you should do your homework is a SUGGESTION. You must do your homework is an OBLIGATION. Modal French Example Can Peux (verbe pouvoir) I can speak English. Can Est-ce que je peux.. Can I have a sheet of paper? Could Pouvais ou Pourrais When I was 10, I could run very fast. Could Pouvais-je ou Pourrais-je… Could I have a sheet of paper? Should Devrais You should eat more vegetables. Should Devrais-je Should I eat more vegetables? May Peut-être I may go to the party but I am not certain. May Puis-je May I have a sheet of paper? Might possiblement I might go to the party but I am not certain. Must Dois (verbe devoir) You must do your homework, you don’t have any choice. Have/Has to dois He has to do his homework, he doesn’t have any choice. *The verb placed after the MODAL is always in the INFINITIVE. Negative form: add the word NOT after the modal. example: you may not go to the party. 43 ©Julie Harvey and Sylvie Higgins "IF" CLAUSES (SENTENCES) Depending on the possibility of obtaining the result, you will need to change verb tenses. It is not as easy as in French (les "si" mangent les "-rais") Condition Probability Example If you heat water, it boils. 0 Certain If you work here, you get paid. If you study, you will pass. 1st Probable 2nd Improbable but not impossible 3rd If you work hard, you will be rewarded. If you bought a lottery ticket, you would win. If he were at school, he would learn something. If you had known, you would have helped. Impossible If he had taken the notes, he would have had the answers.

Is it neat? Is it easy to read? ©Julie Harvey and Sylvie Higgins TIPS FOR IMPROVING YOUR ENGLISH I watch at least 30 MINUTES of television in ENGLISH (no subtitles and no watching it in French first) every day! I read at least 15 minutes in ENGLISH (internet, magazines, newspapers…) every day! I adopt a POSITIVE ATTITUDE! I accept that learning a language is DIFFICULT. I accept NOT UNDERSTANDING every thing. I make A LOT of EFFORT in class. I make an EFFORT to speak ONLY IN ENGLISH in class. I do activities on the internet (google: easy on-line activities to learn English). 49 ©Julie Harvey and Sylvie Higgins Common Mistakes ESL Learners Make! Here is a list of some major errors and how to correct them. THE ERROR THE CORRECT WAY EXAMPLE The Montreal bus ARRIVED 2 minutes ago. (L'autobus de Montréal est arrivé…) In English, you ARRIVE at a destination. ARRIVE (avoir lieu) In English, an event HAPPENS or TAKES PLACE. Happened The accident arrived yesterday. (L'accident s'est passé hier.) The story TAKES PLACE in France. (L'histoire se passe en France.) FOR + VERB In English, you can NOT put the word "FOR" before a verb. You must use the word TO. ADJECTIVES In English, ADJECTIVES NEVER take the plural form. TO I went to the park FOR PLAY soccer. (je suis allé au parc pour jouer au soccer.) BEAUTIFUL We have three beautifuls girls. (Nous avons trois belles filles) In English AUXILIARIES are placed BEFORE the main action verb. AUXILIARIES The main action verb REMAINS in the INFINITIVE PRESENT. In English MANY and MUCH mean “beaucoup”. BUT CAN HELP Linda can helps you every Monday. (Linda peut t'aider tous les lundis.) MANY She has much children. MANY MUCH In English we MUST use MANY before NOUNS that we can COUNT. In English we MUST use MUCH before NOUNS that we CANNOT COUNT, but MEASURE. INTENSIFIERS 50 In English, the most popular INTENSIFIER is "VERY". BUT In English, "VERY" is NOT always EASY to use. Try using REALLY instead. (Elle a beaucoup d'enfants.) MUCH The group drank too many water. (Le groupe a bu beaucoup trop d'eau.) REALLY I very like to eat pizza. (J'aime vraiment manger de la pizza.) Or I like to play sports VERY MUCH. ©Julie Harvey and Sylvie Higgins Révision A B Phrases Accord du nom Observations et vérifications 1. 2. 3. 4.
