Let’s do some
practice sentences on our own.
**Source of confusion- difference between compound and
complex sentences, specifically transitional terms and adverbial conjunctions
(adverb clause words)
* Compound sentence – transitional
term
It snowed last night; therefore,
the roads were slick this morning.
* Complex sentence – adverbial
conjunction (adverb clause words)
The roads were slick this morning because
it snowed last night.
These are different kinds of sentences. They may look
similar, but they are not. Definitely you will get them confused sometimes.
You will get it with practice.
Very simple advice to you and to me:
If you want to learn piano, play
piano a little bit every day. In a year, you’ll be good.
If you want to learn piano
to write sentence styles in English, play
piano practice the sentence
styles a little bit every day. In a year, you’ll be good.
When your English is getting better, you will feel great!
However, you have to do the work.
If you learn these, you will be able to express 99.9% of
your ideas.
