  • Summary

    As you've seen, in language we combine words to form phrases. We also combine phrases to form sentences, and there are various kinds of sentences. For example, there are statements and questions, simple sentences and combinations of sentences, and negative sentences and positive sentences. In Part III, we begin to explore different kinds of sentences, looking at the functions of sentences (Unit 15), how sentences can be combined (Unit 16), and the relationships between different sentences (Unit 17). Our goal is to help you recognize some of the more common and important sentence types.
