Discourse Markers

Discourse markers are words and expressions used to show how discourse is constructed. We use different discourse markers in speaking and writing. In speaking, the following discourse markers are very common: - anyway, like, right, you know, fine, now, so, I mean, good, oh, well, as I say, great, okay, mind you, for a start. Discourse markers to order or sequence what we say: - and, in general, second, to sum up, and then, in the end, secondly, what’s more, first (of all), last of all, so, well, firstly, next, lastly, for a start, on top of that, third(ly). Discourse markers as responses: - absolutely, fine, okay, wow, (all) right, good, quite (more formal), yeah, certainly, great, really, yes, definitely, I see, sure, exactly, no, wonderful. Discourse markers showing attitude: - actually, frankly, I think, (I’m) sorry, admittedly, hopefully, literally, surprisingly, amazingly, honestly, naturally, thankfully, basically, ideally, no doubt, to...

INVERSION OF A STRUCTURE IN A SENTENCES

Inversion (Download this explanation in PDF here.) We use inversion in several different situations in English. Inversion just means putting the verb before the subject. We usually do it in question forms: Normal sentence: You are tired. (The subject is 'you'. It's before the verb 'are'.) Question form: Are you tired? (The verb 'are' is before the subject 'you'. They have changed places. This is called inversion.) In most English verb tenses, when we want to use inversion, we just move the verb to before the subject. If there's more than one verb, because a verb tense has auxiliary verbs for example, we move the first verb. With two verb tenses where we just change the places of the verb and subject: Present simple with 'be': am I / are you / is he Past simple with 'be': were you / was she With other verbs tenses, we change the place of the subject and the auxiliary verb (the first auxiliary verb if there is more t...

Active and Passive Voice Structures

Active / Passive Verb Forms Sentences can be active or passive. Therefore, tenses also have "active forms" and "passive forms." You must learn to recognize the difference to successfully speak English. Active Form In active sentences, the thing doing the action is the subject of the sentence and the thing receiving the action is the object. Most sentences are active. [Thing doing action] + [verb] + [thing receiving action] Examples: Passive Form In passive sentences, the thing receiving the action is the subject of the sentence and the thing doing the action is optionally included near the end of the sentence. You can use the passive form if you think that the thing receiving the action is more important or should be emphasized. You can also use the passive form if you do not know who is doing the action or if you do not want to mention who is doing the action. [Thing receiving action] + [be] + [past participle of verb] + [by] + [thing doing acti...
