Hi,
The answer is 'nervous' and means the same as 'worried' and 'anxious'.

A period/full stop after the word 'nervous' might be good addition. :wink:

Hello,
Alan wrote the sentence:
| Quote: | | The answer is 'nervous' and means the same as 'worried' and 'anxious'. |
Could somebody please enlighten me about the sentence construction?
I tried putting a full stop in the sentence after reading Yankee’s suggestion, but I got stuck on the second part of the sentence.

Could you tell me what type of the sentence is? As far as I know, it is neither an adjective clause nor a fronting sentence.
Thank you.
Best wishes,

Clearly as Yankee (alias Esl_Expert) has pointed out, the full stop has been left out and these should be two separate sentences:
| Quote: | | I don't know why I was so nervous. I think flying is great! |

Hello Mr Alan Townend,
Thank you for pointing out my mistake. I thought that Yankee’s suggestion was referring to your statement. I’m sorry that it was a mistake on my part.
By the way, may I know whether your statement below is called a simple sentence with two predicates?
