Sentence Building

Definition – Định Nghĩa

Có thể hiểu đơn giản dạng câu hỏi Sentence Building là dạng câu hỏi yêu cầu ta phải tạo ra một câu hoàn chỉnh. Nhưng câu hoàn chỉnh này phải bao gồm những từ với thứ tự đã được cho sẵn.

Ví dụ:

The patient / wise / obey /doctor’s orders.

Trong câu trên ta thấy có Subject (the patient) và Adjective (wise). Ta phải dùng Linking Verb để nối nó lại. Sau đó lại có một Verb (obey), ta sẽ dùng infinitive (to obey). Sau Verb cần Object, vậy ta sẽ không thêm gì nữa. Kết quả là:

The patient is wise to obey doctor’s orders.

Tuy nhiên, phần lớn thời gian ta không dùng lý thuyết ngữ pháp thông thường để làm dạng bài tập này được mà cần đến Verb Patterns. Hm… giờ xem kỹ qua phần lý thuyết nhé!
