I Wandered Lonely As a Cloud
by William Wordsworth
I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o‟er vales and hills
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
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.

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.
Under the Greenwood Tree
“ we squander health
In search of wealth,
We scheme and toil and save;
Then squander wealth
In search of health,
And all we get is a grave.
We live and boast of what we own,
We die and only get a stone”
What Is Life?

Under the greenwood tree
who loves to lie with me,
And turn his merry note
Unto the sweet bird‟s throat,
Come hither, come hither, come hither.
Here shall he see

Who doth ambition shun,
And loves to live i‟th sun.

Sentence & Its Components
Sentence is the combination of words that expresses a whole
meaning of the speaker‟s statement. Sentence has some elements
that are shown below.
Subject
We
Verb
Studied
Object
Economics
Modifier
last night
Complement:
Word that identifies, describes or gives information about
a subject and completes an object, noun, adjective and verb
is called complement.
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. A noun phrase is a group of
words ending with a noun (It cannot begin with a preposition).
That new car is Sathee‟s.
More examples:
We girls are not going to see that movie. 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.
Rana runs too fast. Rabu loves Rafiq.
The finite verb may be a verb phrase. A verb phrase
consists of one or more auxiliaries and one principal/
main verb. The auxiliaries always situates in front of the main
verb.
I was going to Chittagong. (Auxiliary-was, main verb-going)
He has been climbing the tree.
(Auxiliary-has, been; main verb-climbing)
More examples of verbs & verb phrases: She will go to
school tomorrow. Farhana is very tall.
She must have gone to the bank.
Rupa has gone home.
Subo is watching television.
It was raining at 11 o‟clock last night.
They bought a book yesterday.
v.com
Word that identifies, describes or gives information about
a subject and completes an object /noun / adjective / verb
is called complement. 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.
(What does he want to drink?)
 Ratri saw Rehan at the movies last night
(Whom did Ratri see at the movies?)
 They called Dalia yesterda y. (Whom
did they call yesterday?)
 Kadar was smoking a cigarette.
(What was Kadar smoking?)
Modifier:
A modifier tells the time, place or manner of the action.
Very often it is a prepositional phrase. A prepositional phrase
is a group of words that begins with a preposition
and ends with a noun.
Note: a modifier of time usually comes last if more than one
modifier is present.
Examples of prepositional phrases: In

Classification of Sentence:
Sentences can be classified by two categories1. According to the meaning or purpose and
2. According to the construction.
1. According to the meaning or purpose, Sentences are
five types. These are given below:
1. Assertive Sentence
2. Interrogative Sentence
3. Imperative Sentence
4. 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. Imperative Sentence: A sentence that expresses a
command, advice, offer and entreaty is called Imperative
sentence.
For example: Do the homework.
4. Optative Sentence: A sentence that expresses wish,
prayer or begging is called Optative Sentence. For
example: If I were a king.
5. Exclamatory Sentence: A sentence that expresses
strong feeling or attitude is called Exclamatory Sentence.
For example: Hurrah! Bangladesh
won the Match
against Australia.
2. 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
Next Page >>
March 30, 2012
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.
