SYNTAX

Hello everyone..
Welcome to my blog.
Today I want to explain about "Syntax".

What is syntax ?

Syntax is the grammatical structure of sentences. The format in which words and phrases are arranged to create sentences is called syntax.

In linguistics, syntax refers to the rules that govern the ways in which words combine to form phrases, clauses, and sentences.

Types of Syntax (Sentence Structures)

Types of sentences and their syntax modes include simple sentences, compound sentences, complex sentences, and compound-complex sentences. Compound sentences are two simple sentences joined by a conjunction. Complex sentences have dependent clauses, and compound-complex sentences have both types included.

• Simple sentence: The girl ran. Structure: Subject-verb.

• Compound sentence: The girl ran the marathon, and her cousin did, too. Structure: Subject-verb-object-conjunction-subject-verb.

• Complex sentence: Although they were tired after the marathon, the cousins decided to go to a celebration at the park. Structure: Dependent clause-subject-verb-object.

• Compound-complex sentence: Although they weren't fond of crowds, this was different, they decided, because of the common goal that had brought everyone together. Structure: Four clauses, dependent and independent.

Ok. I think that’s all about syntax.

Thankyou everyone J
