Comment on what is the following, that is to say, correct them.
The adverb: which one of these sentences are incorrect and why? 1- A little girl walked past, her droll dragging behind her. - A little girl walked past, dragging her droll behind her. ( dragging is an adverb)
2- A little girl walked past, her droll dragged behind her by her dog. - A little girl walked past, dragged her droll behind her by her dog. ( gragged is an adverb)
Adverbial inversion 1) Adverbial with the passive verb-to-be: - Without inversion: John was shot on the head. - With inversion: On the head was shot John. - With adverbial inversion with past participle passive inversion: Shot on the head was John.
2) Adverbial with the active verb-to-be: - Without inversion: Your child is sitting in the garden. - With inversion: In the garden is sitting your child. - With adverbial inversion with present participle active inversion: Sitting in the garden is your child.
- Word order is 1) The + comparative expression + Subject + Verb. 2) The + comparative expression + Object + Subject + Verb.
Examples: - The more you review, the higher grade you get. - The more people he sees, the more he says, 'he is friend.' - The more stories you write, the more talent will develop. - The more exercise she does, the less your weight reduce. - The more he buys gifts to his children, the less his money decrease.
Make sure of what is written under.
- The wh- + auxiliary verb + subject + verb? Here the wh- is always a pronoun. For example: what is she doing for a living?
- The wh- + noun + auxiliary verb + subject + verb? Here the wh- is always a determiner. For example: what ( kind of ) job is she doing for a living? |
