Verbs are used to describe a state, an action or a feeling. They are sometimes called ‘doing’ words. When trying to create suspense, a writer will describe exactly the way a character feels or moves, using a variety of verbs to build the image. Example: Her calf muscles were star ting to ache and tremble. The verb tremble is used to show how much she is suering. Trembling suggests fear of losing her footing and falling, so its use builds suspense.

It Example: contains a verb, a subject I am going to the cinema. and often an object, and Here, the subject is I and the verb is am going – the sentence is acomplete idea. This is called a main clause, or an makes complete sense on its own. Example: independentclause. I hate horror movies. A simple sentence usually consists of one main (independent) clause. Example: The teenager was really Here, the subject is the A clauses of theme parks. teenager and the verb is scared compound sentence (independent) scared contains that may two be or more joined main using a conjunction.

Can I join Example: you please? I am really scared of monkeys: they move so fast and they bite. subordinate main subordinate Here, the main clause tells you the subject is afraid of monkeys and the subordinate clauses tell you that monkeys are quick and dangerous. Complex sentences are used when more information is required about the subject of the sentence. The main clause can also appear after the subordinate clause, separated by a comma. Example: When it was younger, the ogre was subordinate afraid of humans. main The ogre is the subject and was is the verb. The main idea is that the ogre was afraid. The subordinate idea tells you when this happened. Using Answer complex these sentences Remember questions. A main (independent) 1.
