Using pronouns (I, we, you, they, he, she, it) is the most popular way to begin a sentence. But there are many other words that are widely used to start a sentence. They might be question words (what, where, etc.). They might be words formed from verbs, ending in –ing, -ed, -en, etc. Besides, words such as ‘to’ ‘in’ ‘with’, ‘if’, ‘after’ are also used to begin a sentence. Here, you will learn various words and phrases to start a sentence with. Important Note: Starting a sentence with ‘and’ or ‘but’ is correct or not! Using ‘And’ or ‘But’ to begin a sentence is generally considered grammatically Incorrect. But there is no hard and fast rule in this regard. So, you can use ‘And’ or ‘But’ to begin a sentence. But avoid excessive use of these words to begin a sentence. Use these words at the beginning of a sentence only when they really give strength to your language. Note: It is said that a sentence should not be begun with a conjunction of any kind, especially one of the FANBOYS (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so). But this is not a hard and fast rule. Particularly in spoken English, starting a sentence with ‘And’ or ‘But’ is common. 01. AS (used in place of ‘when’; while something else is happening) As a person ages, his body weakens physically.

Download or read book Transitive and Intransitive Verbs English Verb Types written by Manik Joshi and published by Manik Joshi. This book was released on 2020-09-14 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A verb can be described as transitive or intransitive based on whether it requires an object to express a complete thought or not. A transitive verb is a verb that requires (takes or allows) an object to receive the action. “Object” may be in the form of a noun, phrase, or pronoun that refers to the person or thing that is affected by the action of the verb. A sentence with a transitive verb can generally be changed into passive voice (however, sometimes a transitive verb cannot be used in the passive voice). A transitive verb can’t stand alone with only a subject. An intransitive verb does not take an object. However, there may take prepositional phrases or adverbs. Adding adverbs or prepositional phrases modifies the verb but doesn’t change its meaning. A sentence with an intransitive verb can never be changed into a passive voice. Some verbs have multiple meanings and can be transitive or intransitive, depending on the sense in which they are used. In some instances, a verb may require an object, while in others it does not require an object. Based on their transitive or/and intransitive uses, verbs may be categorized as follows: 01. Verbs that are usually used only transitively for all their meanings/senses. 02. Verbs that are usually used only intransitively for all their meanings/senses. 03. Verbs that are usually used both transitively and intransitively for all their meanings/senses. 04. Verbs that are used only transitively for one or more particular meanings/senses but also used only intransitively for one or more particular meanings/senses. 05. Verbs that are used only transitively for one or more particular meanings/senses but also used both transitively and intransitively for one or more particular meanings/senses. 06. Verbs that are used only intransitively for one or more particular meanings/senses but also used both transitively and intransitively for one or more particular meanings/senses. 07. Verbs that are used only transitively for one or more particular meanings/senses but also used only intransitively for one or more particular meanings/senses and also used both transitively and intransitively for one or more particular meanings/senses. You will find the detailed list of verbs under each of these 7 categories. (Very Important Note: Verbs have been generally categorized based on their usual meanings/senses. You may find some variation with the other resources.) In this book, you will find the list of transitive verbs that may take two objects. You will also find the list of transitive and intransitive verbs that are used with prepositional phrases or adverbs. Following are some verbs that are usually used only transitively for all their meanings/senses: abandon / abase / typecast / typeset / outrun / rerun / overlay / underpay / misspend / rend / withhold / behold / outgrow / befall / underlie / outdo / abbreviate / abduct / abet / abhor / abolish / abominate / abrade / abridge / abrogate / absent / absolve / absorb / abstract / abuse / accent / accentuate / access / accompany / accomplish / accost / account / accredit / accuse / acquaint / acquire / acquit / action / actuate / addle / address / adduce / adjudge / adjure / administer / admire / adore / adorn / adulterate / adumbrate / advantage / advocate / aerate / affect / affirm Following are some Verbs that are usually used only intransitively for all their meanings/senses: abscond / abseil / abstain / accede / acquiesce / adhere / alight / amble / apologize / fall / dwell / appeal / appear / arc / arise / arrive / aspire / assent / atone / atrophy / augur / backfire / backpack / back-pedal / backspace / backtrack / balloon / banter / barf / bargain / barrel / bask / bay / beef / beetle / belly / bellyache / belong / bet / bicker / bicycle / bifurcate / billet / billow / binge / biodegrade / bitch / bivouac / blabber / blare

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Book Covers The Following Topics: A Big Myth List of Prepositions Ending a sentence with a preposition – About, Against, At, By, For, From, In, Into, Of, On, Out, To, Upon, With - Example Sentences When to End a Sentence with a Preposition Situation – 01 - Interrogative Sentences Situation – 02 - Passive Voice Sentences Situation – 03 - Infinitive Structures Situation – 04 - Relative Clauses Situation – 05 - Phrasal Verbs How to Avoid Ending a Sentence with a Preposition Option – 01 - Restructuring the Sentence Option – 02 - Using a Different Word Avoid Unnecessary Use of Prepositions Additional Examples Exercises: 1(A) and 1(B) Exercises: 2(A) and 2(B) Sample This: It is said we should avoid ending a sentence with a preposition. A preposition should be placed before a noun or a pronoun. The word preposition expresses “position before” so it is improper to place a preposition at the end! This is, however, not a rule. You can use a preposition to end a sentence with. Here, you will learn when you can use a preposition at the end of a sentence and how you can avoid using a preposition at the end of a sentence. As there is no hard and fast rule regarding the use of a preposition at the end of a sentence, so whether you use it or not at the end of a sentence, it is your choice. But as most people avoid ‘excessive’ use of prepositions at the end of sentences, you can follow suit and may use them only when they give strength to your language. Some words (on, off, over, etc.) may be used as both prepositions and adverbs. However, everyone can’t easily differentiate between a preposition and an adverb. So, whenever they see these words at the end of sentences, they think that they are prepositions. As most people are averse to the idea of using prepositions at the end of sentences, they even don’t use these words as adverbs at the end of sentences. Actually, it is a myth that you shouldn’t use a preposition at the end of a sentence. Using a preposition at the end of a sentence is not grammatically incorrect. You can end your sentences with prepositions. Sometimes, using a preposition at the end of a sentence seems better than using it in the middle or beginning of a sentence. Ending a Sentence with a Preposition - ABOUT An ad agency's job is to take a brand to consumers and communicate the proposition well to them so that they understand what the brand is all about.
