What does it mean to put a sentece in context?
606973
Context is what conveys the meaning of a sentence.  Taking a sentence out of its proper context is deceitful and underhanded.\n\nConsider the following.\n\nI am a murderer.  I killed a man who broke into my house and held a gun to my wife's head.\n\nIf you only read the first sentence, out of context, you would have a different opinion of me.\n\n\nFor other examples, watch ANY policial campaign commercial.   Many of the lies in those commercials come in the form of quotes taken out of context.

This is often misused today.\n\nAn example of the original meaning was as in this example.  If a scientist were designing an experiment to determine whether A was bigger than B, and in his preparations for this, made an assumption (inherent in his experiment design), that A is actually bigger than B, then he is 'begging the question'.  (I.e. he is assuming an answer to a question and therefore confusing the result).\n\nOften nowadays, however, it is used to mean 'raise the question'.  As in 'The President's denial of the allegation begs the question of how we can ascertain the facts'. (I..e becasuue he denies it we need to think of another way to verify the truth.)  This is raising or prompting a question - not begging it.

Yes, its emphasis. But its more than just "this is the end of this sentence". It means for example, forever: "We are finished, period"... or,  with no doubt: "He was crazy, period". \n\nIn other words, it puts a closing not only to the sentence but to what it is saying (the content).

depends on context.  Basically, to get closer.

This has to be an adverbial prepositional phrase, because it tells where they went.  "The students went" is the backbone of the sentence: "students" is the subject, and "went" is the verb.  Where did they go?  On a skiing trip.  \n\nThere are a few good questions to ask when you see a prepositional phrase.  If you can answer "when" or "how" then you know it is adverbial, because adverbs are words of time and they tell how something was done.  If your phrase is more descriptive, and cannot answer "when" or "how" then it is an adjective.  \n\nHope this helps.  Cheers, K (teacher 14 years)

"For" implys usage -- She brought a cake for me (to eat, to serve to as dessert, to roll around in).\n\n"To" has a direction or selection implication.\nShe brought a cake to me (not Bob, or Carol or Ted).

In an imperative statement (in other words, when you give a command), the subject is "you".  Example:  "Get the telephone!"   We don't say "you", but it is the subject.

What is the context? Usually, it is just a decoration for the word. In certain instances, it could be the code to insert a smiley, like ((*sad*)).
