I need to make sentences that are good for starting in a composition, like for example, if i want to describe a fine weather, i must not say 'It was a fine weather that day.' but instead i must say 'Fluffy clouds were scattered around in the sky, shading out the bright sun and casting shadows on the ground, making light patterns.' I must have sentences like that.\nI need these specifications:\n\n1.Describing fine weather(indoors)\nAtmosphere(outdoors):\n1.accident scene\n2.scene of disaster\n3.night bazaar\n4.dense jungle/forest\n5.dark and quiet alley\n6.park with people\n7.camping\n8.place of interest(eg.zoo)\n9.beach\n10.out of sea(in a boat)\n11.top of a building\n12.in a garden\nAtmosphere(indoors):\n1.shopping centre\n2.train\n3.bus\n4.someone's house\n5.haunted house\n6.party\n7.hotel lobby\n8.school\n9.classroom\n10.supermarket\n11.arcade\n12.restaurant\n\nIf you guys can help me with this, I will be very pleased as this is an important piece of work!

I didn't have time to do much but I hope this can help and give you a start.\n\n1.Describing fine weather(indoors)\nThe coolness of the air conditioner was a delightful contrast to the blaze of the sun I could see withering my garden from the window.\n\nAtmosphere(outdoors):\n \n12.in a garden\nI sat in the middle of a perfumery that was as delightful to the eye as it was to the nostrils.\n\nAtmosphere(indoors):\n\n9.classroom\nWaves of whispers hit the reef of the professor’s command. “Take out your text books, please, and open them …silently.”\n\n10.supermarket\nSaturday morning at the market felt like the Daytona of the shopping cart series.

Gone Car - This is a question relating to the correct usage of prepositions in English which we have discussed before. If you recall we touched upon the point that it is all a matter of convention, what is accepted as correct at a given point in time by the majority of people speaking the language in question, here English.\n\nWith that in mind I would say that sentence 4 here could never be used in the manner you suggest. It might be used to describe the ambassador FROM India TO Iraq but not the ambassador FROM Iraq TO India. The other three sentences could each be used to describe the ambassador FROM Iraq TO India, but the preferred method would be sentence 1. You might hear sentence 3 used and it would have the same meaning but is a litttle confusing. Sentence 2 seems to suggest that the ambassador is currently in India which adds a slight nuance of meaning to the other two forms. You might hear it used but I still say sentence 1 is the best in the context you are suggesting here. Hope this helps.

I think it is pretty good. A couple suggestions I would make are: Never start a sentence with and, If you want explain more where the places you mention are, and that's all. You dont have to listen to me, I dont want to mess it up.

I have a couple grammar suggestions for you:\n\n- I'm not sure if this happened because of Yahoo or if you typed it in this way, but you should only have capital letters at the beginning of a sentence or for proper nouns (like for a person's name, or for a place name like "Paris", or for a product name like "Colgate").\n\n- Also, punctuation is VERY important.  If you don't clearly punctuate your writing, it is hard to understand.  For example, make sure that you have periods at the end of each of your sentences so that readers will know where one thought starts and another thought begins.\n\nIn terms of the clarity of this paragrpah, I here are my thoughts:\n\n- Figure out what the main thing that you're trying to say in this paragraph is, and make sure to state that CLEARLY in your first sentence.  This helps the reader to know what to expect to read in the paragraph.  Based on what you're writtetn, in sounds like your main point is something about how advertising, especially TV advertising, has the potential to influence people's behavior.  I would use the next few sentences to explain, generally, how television advertisements have the potential to influence people (I would do this by explaining how advertising companies target certain ads to certain audiences during certain programs, etc).  I would then say "For example..." and use your example of the Colgate commercial having the potential to influence a child to behave like the child he or she saw in the commerical.  I would then suggest that you have a sentence at the end of your paragrpah that conlcudes your ideas and helps to prepare the reader for what he/she will read in your next paragraph (if there is one).\n\nHope this helps!!

Obviously, no one on Yahoo Answers went along on your school field trip, so, no one here can give you any specifics for your article.\n\nSo far as format is concerned, think of a snappy-sounding "headline" for your story. Buy a newspaper or two today and look at the way the articles in a real newspaper are set up. It's pretty much like a regular essay - there's a beginning, a middle, and an end (but not a "conclusion"-sounding one).\n\nNewspaper articles always stress the five things all people want to know - the who, the what, the where, the how, and the why. If you can cover all five of those points, you'll be able to compose a good article.\n\nMake sure it is neatly typed, is spell-checked, and contains proper sentence structure. If there are quotes from anybody, make sure to include proper punctuation. And last, but not least, learn your lesson about putting off assignments till the last minute. This will backfire almost every time. Good luck!

without harping on the pun like others, and answering the feeling if the question\n\nthe perfect day:\n\nThe sun is shinning with just a few pretty little fluffy clouds. We are standing on the deck of a ship, we find an emply place with the wind in our face, my husbands arms are around me as we talk of nothing in particular. we stay on deck for the sunset, and watch to blue sky melt into a array of reds pinks and oranges.

Your sentence structure is passive.  To make it active, make the subject of the sentence the administrators and people of the community instead of "the reason," which merely "is."  For example: "Administrators and people of the community hear the same laundry list of complaints from industry leaders in the community," or whatever it is your "reason" is.\n\nGood luck.

The only way ı can find any logic in this sentence is if the comma before 'for example' is changed to a semi-colon. Then it's two different sentences and, even if I don't like it, I can parse it.\n\nSo, if that's the case, then it's 'situation', not 'patterns'. Patterns are an aspect of a leaf's form and physiology. You can reword this sentence like this: Leaves develop in different situations; according to these situations, the form and physiology vary.\n\nThis is logical when you look at the example, because 'different degrees of light' are different situations (as someone else said, 'environment' would be more suitable), and the example says that 'different degrees of light' affect how the leaf adapts (preumably altering its shape).\n\nHope this helps. Swat your teacher upside the head for giving you such an ill-formed question!

I like onewhitewhiskar's answer.  She has given you some good ideas.\n\nI would suggest you keep it simple.  Sometimes if you try to make it too convoluted or put too much in there, the writing just doesn't work.  Unless you are really good at making up stuff, don't try to get into complicated plots and stories.  Write about what you know.  Write as if you are telling a story.  Think aobut how you would tell it to someone, and then write it down that way.  \n\nOk, now stop and think for a minute.  Think about some of the most interesting or funny or different things that have happened to you.  Have you gone on a special trip?  Have you visited an interesting place?  Do you have a pet that does really funny stuff?  How about your neighborhood?  Are there odd characters?  Have you been on a boat trip?  Did your grandparents do something speical or different?  Have they ever talked to you about how things were when they were your age?  What's your favorite thing to do - do you have a special hobby you can write about?  Is there  something you know a lot about that others might be interested in? \n\nYou see, people can write well about things that are very familiar to them.  I will give you a few "starter" sentences to think about, but make up one of your own if none of these work for you.\n\n"As I walked home from school last week I saw the strangest thing around the corner from my house."  \n\n"Last summer I visited ...."\n\n"Have you ever watched .... bees at their hive .... or salmom in a stream .... puppies playing .... shooting stars ... waves on the beach ..... sailboats .... the sidewalk market on Saturday .... your brother's baseball game .... someone making dinner .... fourth of July fireworks ..."\n\n"I'm really looking forward to ...."\n\n"My best friend is .... "\n\n"The most fun I ever had was when ....."\n\n"Yesterday my dog .... "\n\nSome final thoughts ... jot down some thoughts and ideas about your topic first.  Do an INternet search to see if you get some more ideas about your topic.   \nI hope this helps you think about what you might do for your writing project.

1. Use commas to separate independent clauses when they are joined by any of these seven coordinating conjunctions: and, but, for, or, nor, so, yet.\n2. Use commas after introductory a) clauses, b) phrases, or c) words that come before the main clause.\n3. Use a pair of commas in the middle of a sentence to set off clauses, phrases, and words that are not essential to the meaning of the sentence. Use one comma before to indicate the beginning of the pause and one at the end to indicate the end of the pause.\n4. Do not use commas to set off essential elements of the sentence, such as clauses beginning with that (relative clauses). That clauses after nouns are always essential. That clauses following a verb expressing mental action are always essential.\n5. Use commas to separate three or more words, phrases, or clauses written in a series.\n6. Use commas to separate two or more coordinate adjectives that describe the same noun. Be sure never to add an extra comma between the final adjective and the noun itself or to use commas with non-coordinate adjectives.\n7. Use a comma near the end of a sentence to separate contrasted coordinate elements or to indicate a distinct pause or shift.\n8. Use commas to set off phrases at the end of the sentence that refer back to the beginning or middle of the sentence. Such phrases are free modifiers that can be placed anywhere in the sentence without causing confusion. (If the placement of the modifier causes confusion, then it is not "free" and must remain "bound" to the word it modifies.)\n9. Use commas to set off all geographical names, items in dates (except the month and day), addresses (except the street number and name), and titles in names.\n10. Use a comma to shift between the main discourse and a quotation.\n11. Use commas wherever necessary to prevent possible confusion or misreading.\n12. Don't use a comma to separate the subject from the verb.\n13. Don't put a comma between the two verbs or verb phrases in a compound predicate.\n14. Don't put a comma between the two nouns, noun phrases, or noun clauses in a compound subject or compound object.\n15. Don't put a comma after the main clause when a dependent (subordinate) clause follows it (except for cases of extreme contrast).\n\nPlease see link for examples

~Try writing a cohesive sentence in English with some punctuation and capitalization and then I'd be glad to help you.\n\nOh, who am I kidding!  No I wouldn't.

Nice GMAT question...\n\nMy version would be as follows:\n"The music comes from nowhere and everywhere at the same time..."\n\nYour 1st sentence used "in particular", which has nothing to balance out in the second half of the phrase...\n\nThe other three sentences are downscaling things, where sound is everywhere, then its nowhere...its coming from everywhere, but I can't hear it...\n\nWhat I did is simply flipped it the other way round...\nSound comes from nowhere, but I can hear it coming from everywhere...

Awesome essay! You have very poetic writing. The essay had barely any errors, but there are just a couple small things I would change:\n\nMakes sure you underline A Tale of Two Cities. I know you can't do that in Answers, but just in case you didn't know.\nIn the first sentence, the colon should be a comma. In the second paragraph (first sentence) conveys shouldn't be capitalized, and in the last sentence, "thing" should be "things." Also, the second sentance isn't complete. I would probably rephrase the first sentence of the last paragraph, "This section in chapter five describes the miserable condition of the peasants in Paris, France during the 1800's, and the Jokers graffiti foreshadows the war that is soon to come." There's also a period missing at the end.\n\nOther than that, it was very, very good and you should be very, very proud. Nice vocabulary, by the way.

Your first sentence is a run-on sentence.\n\nBut not to bad.  Clean it up a bit and worry more about your flow.\n\n6 out of 10

I see an A and a G, actually.   :)\n\nThose sentences are called "pangrams" and here's a cool link for more info on them!

It is a little ambiguous as to why you are asking; the purpose of why you ask would greatly cutdown on the aolution. Given that, i will assume you just want the simple form and not the "categorical" explanation (but if you are see below).\n\nOf course you know you need a subject and a verb to make a sentence. Those things which point to (or describe) the verbs are adverbs and those which point to (or describe, actually termed "modify") the noun(s) are adjectives. There are some 'tricky' spots, but this is generally the rule.\n\nAlso in a sentence you have a subject (main actor/action) and a predicate (2ndary subject/action). Those things which describe your predicate's nouncs are "predicate adjectives" and those which "modify" the verbs are "predicate adverbs". Adverbs, as you may remember, usually end in "ly" but not always...it is better to look for that which modifies your verbs! This is it in a nutshell...\n\nExample: John was extremely hungry and so he ate all of the delicious pie.\n\nJohn [subject/noun] was [verb] extremely [adverb] hungry [adjective] so [conjunction] he [pronoun] ravenously [predicate adverb] ate [predicate verb] all [adjective] of [preposition/adposition] the [article] delicious [predicate adjective] pie [predicate noun].\n\nNow, i want you to know that I am not an English teacher or even a major...i did teach a language course in Greek and did very well in English...but i am not guaranteeing my comments as 100% factual...these notes are merely my understandings of them...you'd need to do further research...or you could always "google" your questions or ask jeeves (ask.com)...\n\ni hope you do well and get straight "A's!"
