It is not a poem. It is originally from the novel by Charles Dickens,  A Tale of Two Cities.  It is the opening sentence to the novel.  The actual quote is: "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.   It is one of the most famous lines in all of literature and quoted very often.  I believe the sentence concerns the French Revolution.

maybe it's a trick sentence?

Sentence number 2 is correct.\n\nThe reason sentence 1 is not correct is because it has a dangling participle. In other words, the participle cannot distinguish what it wants to describe. \n\nIt could be that you realize how much different you have been than before (like in sentence 2)\nOR------\nit could be that you realize how FREQUENTLY you have been different than before.\n\nIf you read sentence 1, you will realize that both senerios could be true. \n\nHope this helps\nThanks\nJon

Okay, here is what it means if a sentence is active or passive.  Active sentences are ones in which the subjects are DOING an action.  Passive sentences are ones in which the subjects are RECEIVING an action.  For example:\n\n#1. Passive: their lives may have been spared...\n      Active: ______ (subject -- who?) might have spared their lives.\n\nI'm not sure how exactly to change the other sentences since I have not read Hamlet, and I need more context to help you.

This is a cumbersome sentence. Not hard, but just very awkwardly written. Let's analyze it methodically:\n\nThe verb here is "originated", and the simple subject is "interest". So some interest originated - who is interested in what, and where did it originate from? That's what the rest of the sentence expresses.\n\n"EU" (European Union) and "in biofuels" (fuels from biologial products) modify interest, so it implies that the EU is interested in biofuels.\n\n"from agriculture" - agriculture is the business of farming.\n\nIn other words, "The European Union mainly got interested in biofuels because of the farming industry."

There are two basic parts to a sentence: the subject part and the predicate part. The subject part contains the simple subject and all of its modifiers. The predicate part contains the verb and all of its modifiers.\n\nExample: Mary who is the girl who scored the winning  goal in the high school finals became a star in college three years later.\n\n"Mary who is the girl who scored the winning  goal in the high school finals" is the subject part of the sentence. Mary is the simple subject.\n\n"became a star three years later in college" is the predicate part of the sentence. Became is the verb of the sentence.\n\nThe subject part is what the sentence is about, and the predicate part makes a statement about the subject part.\n\nI hope this helps!!

"Direct object of a sentence" isn't a sentence. D: Even then, no part of that sentence is a direct object.\n\nEDIT: Oh, I see what you mean now. Direct is an adjective modifying object.

The English language has always used some sort of punctuation. Punctuation marks were not standardized until the invention of the Printing Press in the 15th century. At first, punctuation was used merely to indicate a break-up in the way sentence were spoken. After the printing press was invented, however, grammarians began to develop a theory that punctuation should be formed depending on the structure of the sentence, not merely how it sounds.\n\nThe history of punctuation goes back to the 9th century, when Romans started separating inscriptions on their monuments with dots. Later, a librarian in Alexandria became the first to coin the terms "comma," "colon," and "period," although they were very different from what we use today. \n\nCheck out my source for more helpful information!!

the word is grammar.  A sentence fragment is an incomplete sentence, either missing a subject or predicate or a noun or a verb.  Its the opposite of a run on which has too many of these things and needs to be broken into two sentences. A sentence fragment, often can be fixed by combinging two fragments.

Yes it is a sentence.  The term used for sentences like "quiet" or "stop" or "drink" etc., is an imperative.  In an imperative the subject of the sentence (you) is assumed, as in "you be quiet" or "you stop" or "you drink."

"Grammar"\n\nIn the second half of your continueing sentence you are referring back to the first half when it should be treated as two seperate sentences at a minimum.

This might be less specifically useful, but really helpful in the long run:  The easiest way to write these kinds of sentences is to look the words up in a dictionary or thesaurus and put together a sentence that makes sense with simpler words.\n\nFor example:  jubilant is similar to happy.  It might be easier to come up with a way to use happy in a sentence than jubilant.\n\nGood luck with the rest.
