　　Sentence Structures

　　句型結構

　　Writing in English begins with the sentence. Sentences are then combined into paragraphs. Finally, paragraphs are used to write longer structures such as essays, business reports, etc.

　　英語寫作都是以句子開頭，句子又組成段落。最后，段落形成更長的結構，如短文、商務報告等等。

　　The first sentence structure is the most common:

　　第一種句型結構是最常見的：

　　1.Simple Sentences

　　簡單句

　　Simple sentences contain no conjunction (i.e., and, but, or, etc.).

　　簡單句中沒有連接詞(如and, but, or等)

　　Frank ate his dinner quickly.

　　(弗蘭克飛快地吃了飯。)

　　Peter and Sue visited the museum last Saturday.

　　(上個星期六，皮特和蘇去了博物館。)

　　Are you coming to the party?

　　(你會去那個派對嗎?)

　　2.Compound Sentences

　　并列復合句

　　Compound sentences contain two statements that are connected by a conjunction (i.e., and, but, or, etc.).

　　復合句由兩個陳述構成，這兩個陳述由連接詞(如and, but or等)連在一起。

　　(公司這年效益不錯，所以給每個人都準備了獎金。)

　　I went shopping, and my wife went to her classes.

　　(我去購物，我妻子去上課。)

　　3.Complex Sentences

　　主從復合句

　　Complex sentences contain a dependent clause and at least one independent clause. The two clauses are connected by a subordinator (i.e, which, who, although, despite, if, since, etc.).

　　主從復合句中含有一個獨立的從句，且至少有一個。兩個從句由一個從屬連詞(如which, who, although, despite, if, since等)連接起來。

　　My daughter, who was late for class, arrived shortly after the bell rang.

　　(我女兒上課遲到了，鈴聲響了一會才到。)

　　That's the man who bought our house.

　　(就是那個男人買下了我們的房子。)

　　Although it was difficult, the class passed the test with excellent marks.

　　(雖然難度很高，這個班級還是以高分通過了測試。)
