Continuous as the stars that shine And twinkle in the milky way. They stretched in never- ending line Along the margin of a bay: Ten thousand say I at a glance, Tossing their heads in sprightly dance. The waves beside them danced; but they Outdid the sparkling waves in glee; A poet could not but be gay, In such a jocund company; I gazed-and gazed-but little thought What wealth the show to me had brought: For oft when on my couch I lie In vacant or in pensive mood, They flash upon that inward eye Which is the bliss of solitude And then my heart with pleasure fills And dances with the daffodils. To Daffodils by Robert Herrick Fair Daffodils, we weep to see You haste away so soon; As yet the early-rising sun Has not attained his noon. Stay, stay Until the hasting day Has run But to the even song: And, having prayed together, we Will go with you along. We have short time to stay, as you We have as short a spring; As quick a growth to meet decay, As you, or anything. We die. As your hours do, and dry away Like to the summer‟s rain, Or as the pearls of morning‟s dew, Ne‟er to be found again. || AUTHOR :: DIGITAL SUCCESS IN ENGLISH || www.sarbin.peperonity.com || Email: [email protected] || Next Page >> March 30, 2012 www.englishbd.com evsjv‡`‡k me©cÖ_g Bs‡iwR wel‡qi c~Yv© ½ I‡qemvBU Ozymandias by PB Shelley I met a traveler from an antique land who said: “Two vast and trunk less legs of stone Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand. Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed. And on the pedestal these words appear: My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings: Look on my works, ye mighty , and despair! Nothing beside remains, Round The decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare, The lone and level sands stretch far away.

Raja is depressed s.com depressed Rani looks Subject: The subject is the agent of the sentence in the active voice; it is the person or thing that performs or is responsible for the action of the sentence. And it normally situates in front of the verb. Note: Every sentence in English must have a subject. In case of commands, the subject „you‟ remains understood (Dn¨). s.com He made me nervous. o.com Do they understand the need of secrecy? Farhana was interested in learning driving adj.com The subject may be a singular or plural noun/pronoun. Coffee is delicious. They are playing chess. The subject may be a noun phrase.

Mary and I went to a trip last night. The weather was very bad yesterday. The chemistry professor cancelled today‟s class. The bank closed at two o‟clock. A subject can be a pronoun used for an impersonal verb. As the subject of an impersonal verb, the pronoun is not actually used in place of a noun, but is part of an idiomatic expression. It rains quite often in the summer. It is hard to believe that he is dead. In some sentences, the actual subject does not appear in normal subject position. The word „there‟ can act as a pseudosubject and is treated like a subject when changing an assertive sentence to a question. However, the true subject appears after the verb, and the number of the true subject controls the verb. There was a fire in that building last night. singular verb singular sub There were many people plural verb plural sub in that place. Verb: The verb follows the subjects in an assertive sentence; it generally shows the action of a sentence. Note: Every sentence must have a finite verb. The finite verb may be a single word.

A verb complement completes the verb. It is also called object. It is similar to the subject because it is usually a noun or noun phrase; however, it generally follows the verb in a sentence in active voice. Every sentence does not need a complement. The complement cannot begin with a preposition. A complement answers the question what? Or whom? Examples of verb complements object:  You bought a cake yesterday. (What did you buy?)  Rehan was driving a new car. (What was Rehan driving)  He wants to drink some water.

Optative Sentence 5. Exclamatory Sentence A brief discussion is given below one by one. 1. Assertive Sentence: A sentence that makes statement or assertion is called Assertive Sentence. For example: Kader is not good as a teacher. 2. Interrogative Sentence: A sentence that asks a question is called Interrogative sentence. 3.

According to the construction: According to the construction. Sentences are three types. These are1. Simple Sentence 2. Complex Sentence 3. Compound Sentence From the perspective of phrase and clause sentences can be classified into three types:  Simple sentence  Complex sentence  Compound sentence 1. Simple Sentence: A simple sentence has only one clause that means it has a subject, a finite verb. Such asTami lives in America. 2. Complex Sentence: A complex sentence has a main clause (independent clause) and minimum/ at least a subordinate clause (dependent clause). For example: If they come here in the evening We will meet them. Subordinate clause Main clause 3. Compound Sentence: A compound sentence has two independent clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction such as and, but etc. For example: Kader is a brilliant student but he is not a responsible boy. Clause  Clauses have subject and verb. Clauses are divided into two major categories, * Dependent clauses * Independent clauses. An independent clause, is a clause that can be al grammatical sentence by itself. A dependent clause is a clause that cannot be a sentenced by itself. Therefore, a dependent clause is always connected to an independent clause. For example, The president kept none of the promises that he made. In the above example the clause “The president kept none of the promises:”- can form a complete sentence. Therefore, it‟s the independent clause. The clause “that || AUTHOR :: DIGITAL SUCCESS IN ENGLISH || www.sarbin.peperonity.com || Email: [email protected] || Next Page >> March 30, 2012 www.englishbd.com evsjv‡`‡k me©cÖ_g Bs‡iwR wel‡qi c~Yv© ½ I‡qemvBU he made” is not a complete and grammatically correct sentence. Therefore, it is dependent clause. Difference between Phrase and Clause: Phrase and Clause both are group of words. But the key difference between two is that the phrase has not the two major parts- Subject and Finite verb I will go there if she goes. Here the clause “I will go there” can form a complete sentence; so, it is the independent clause. But the clause “if she goes” That‟s why it is considered as the dependent clause. Whether you understand the meaning of a sentence or not, identify the compulsory elements of a sentence- subject and verb. Always be certain that the sentence has an independent clause. And the main clause has a finite verb.  Every year, thousands of people in Muslim countries ---- the custom of various religious festivals. a. enjoying b. to enjoy C. who enjoy d. enjoy In the question above, there is no finite/ main verb for the clause. Analyzing the options we find that option „a‟ will not work as „verb + ing‟ form cannot alone be a verb without the help of the auxiliary verbs. In case of choice „b‟ an infinitive can not also be a main verb by itself. Option „c‟ provides us a clause marker word meaning that there is one dependent clause and for that another verb will be needed; two verbs for two clauses. Option „d‟ meets all the criteria of being a verb with no clause marker and being the main verb for the independent clause. In clauses, check for three things- a clause marker (who, which, because, since, as, though etc.) a subject and a verb. The subject will follow the clause marker. One clause marker in a sentence indicates that there is a subordinate/ dependent clause. So be careful in using two verbs- one for the independent clause and another for the subordinate clause. If there are two clause markers in one sentence, the process remains same.  Industrial psychologists have found that most people- to work even if they become very wealthy. a. continuing b. continue c. who continue d. continues Here it will need a main verb for the clause „that most people--So the correct answer is option b.  Remember not to ask any question in the dependent or subordinate clause. Never use verb before the subject in the dependent clause. Incorrect: Do you know where is he? Correct: Do you know where he is? Incorrect: What should you do is nothing. Correct: What you should do is nothing.
