Punctuation

Main Punctuation marks

1. the period(.)

2. the question mark ( )

3. the exclamation point (!)

4. the comma (,)

5. the semicolon (;)

6. the colon (:)

7. brackets ([ ])

8. the quotation marks (" " ' ')

9. parentheses ( ( ) )

10. The dash (―)

11. ellipsis points ( … )

The Period ( . )

1. The period (full stop) is used at the end of a declarative sentence,

a mildly imperative sentence, and an indirect question.

Honesty is the best policy.

Hand in your homework, please. .

The period marks the end of a sentence. The word after it begins a new sentence and has to be capitalized.

She graduated from Oxford University. She achieved great success in her studies there.

2.The period is used with most abbreviations.

But some people prefer not to use the period with abbreviations. They just write Mr, Ms, etc. Names of well-known organizations, broadcasting corporations are often written without periods, like UN, UNESCO, NATO, VOA, BBC.

3. Three spaced period make the ellipsis mark, which indicates the omission of one or more words within a quoted passage, or pauses in speech;

Um… I think, um… she is um… pretty um… hardworking.

The Comma ( , )

1. A comma is used to join coordinate. It is put before the conjunction (and, but, or, for, so, nor, or, yet,):

We wanted to go on, but other people disappeared.

He tried hard, yet he failed to convince her.

We should remember that coordinate clauses have to be joined with a comma and a conjunction. One comma alone cannot do the job

though it is possible in Chinese.

Sam is four years old, he is quite bright.

Sam is four years old, and he is quite bright.

Using a comma to link two clauses is a common mistake, which has a name: the comma fault or the comma splice. But we can use a semicolon, a dash, or a colon between two coordinate clauses.

Sam is four years old; he is quite bright.

Sam is very happy: he's got the first prize.

The Comma ( , )

2. A comma is used after an adverbial clause or phrase.

When the rain stopped, we continued to work in the fields.

On hearing the news, she went faint.

Some listeners, bored by the lengthy talk, closed their eyes and dozed.

3. Commas are used to separate a series of words or phrases with the same function in the sentence.

The comma before the conjunction and last item is optional. It can be omitted there is no danger of misreading.

The children sang, danced, jumped, and chased each other.

4. Nonrestrictive clauses and phrases are set off by commas. Restrictive clauses and phrases are not set off by commas.

The speaker, after glancing at his notes, began to talk about the next point.

The Comma ( , )

5. In dates, a comma is used to separate the day and the year if the order is month-day-year; no comma need be used if the order is day-month-year.

Hong Kong was returned to China on July 1, 1997.

She was born on 15 September 1980.

6. With numbers over 1,000 or more, commas or little blank spaces may be used to separate digits by thousands. From right to left, a comma is placed after every three numerals.

12,221,548 53,507,214

The question Marks ( )

1. The question mark is used after a direct question.

Do you know Mr. Smith

"Could you please explain to me the meaning of this sentence " she asked.

2. The question mark is used after a statement turned into a question ( said in a rising tune ).

You like it You want to buy it

The first time to the United States

3. A question mark put between parentheses indicates the writer's uncertainty about the correctness of the preceding word, figure or date.

Cao Xueqing was born in 1715 ( ), and died in poverty in 1764 ( ). The Exclamation Mark ( ! )

1. The exclamation mark is used after an exclamatory sentence, or an emphatic interjection, or a phrase expressing strong emotion.

Wow! What beautiful flowers!

Help!

It is on fire!

The exclamation mark indicates strong emphasis and therefore it should be used sparingly. It is preferable to close a mild interjection with a comma or a period.

(Do not use it frequently!)

2.Sometimes the exclamation mark is used after a slogan.

Long live the Peoples Republic of China!

NATO Out!

The Semicolon ( ; )

1. The semicolon is used between two coordinate clauses which are not linked by a conjunction.

We wanted to go on, but other people disappeared.

She was interested in history years ago; today her main interest is art. Each of the above two sentences can be turned into two separate sentences without any change in meaning except some lack of closeness in them.

2. Conjunctive adverbs like therefore, however, nonetheless, hence, otherwise, besides, moreover, etc., should not be used as conjunctions to link two coordinate clauses. Before them there should be a semicolon, not a comma.

He promised to come the meeting; however, she would been caught in the storm.

3. The semicolon is used with conjunctions when the clauses contain internal punctuation.

4. A comma is used to separate a series of items with internal commas. The Colon ( : )

1. The colon is used to introduce a quotation or a statement .

It will do everyone good to remember this old saying: " One will know that he does not know enough after he begins to learn."

2. Th

Sentence Writing

Requirements for a correct sentence:

It should be structurally complete.

It should begin with a capital letter.

It should end with a full stop, or a question mark, or an exclamation mark.

It should express a single complete idea.

Correct Sentences

Completeness in Structure

A grammatically complete sentence is one that contains at least a subject and a predicate verb(谓语动词)and it begins with a capital letter and ends with a full stop.

If the verb is transitive(及物动词), there must be an object; if the verb is a link verb(系动词), there must be a predicative(表语) or complement(补语).

Examples

(√) We have a lesson on Monday night.

(√)To think about the gift makes me happy.

(√) After this meal, they were ready to set out.

(×)Hoping she would accept his apology.

(×)A school that was a bad experience.

(×)With no difference except the color.

The Right Subject

1) Not knowing his name, it was difficult to introduce him.

2) To look at a map, the importance of the road is seen.

3)Stuck in the mud, they had to push the car.

In the above sentences the subjects are not properly related to the gerunds, participles or infinitive in the first parts of the sentences.

Agreement Between S. (subject) & P. (predicate verb)

The predicate verb of a sentence has to agree with the subject in person and number.

Collective nouns like family and audience may be either singular or plural, depending on the meaning in which they are used. If you think of family, government, etc. as one whole, a singular verb is needed. If you think of them as made up of a number of people, a plural verb is needed.

The whole family are going out for BBQ.

This family is the happiest one in our town.

There is a great audience in the playground.

The audience are shocked by the news.

When two subjects refer to different persons or are different in number, the verb should agree with the subject close to it.

Neither he nor you are arriving at the right time.

There is a pen and four books on the desk.

Words after together with, in addition to, besides, etc., are objects of prepositions; they do not affect the number of the subject.

The plays, as well as the captain, want very much to win.

A subject

clause generally takes a singular verb, but a what-clause which clearly refers to many things can take a plural verb.

How he manages to do it remains a mystery.

What he wanted to know were the pay, the living and working conditions.

Agreement Between Pronoun & Antecedent

Just as the predicate verb of a sentence has to agree with the subject in person and number, so a pronoun has to agree with its antecedent. After a compound antecedent with or, nor, either…or, neither…nor, not only…but also, a pronoun agrees with t he nearer part of the antecedent.

A singular pronoun follows a collective noun antecedent when the members of the group are considered as a unit; a plural pronoun, when they are thought of individually.

The jury was asked to return to their seats.

For such singular antecedents as each, either, neither, one, no one, everyone, someone, anyone, nobody, everybody, somebody, and anybody, which may refer to both male and female, she or he, his or her, him or her, or the preferred plural pronouns they, their or them are used.

Clear Pronoun Reference

1) She told my sister that her idea was practical.

2) Leave out the word in that sentence because it is too difficult.

We use personal pronouns very often. They seem to be easy, but they should be used with care. We beginners often make mistakes in using "it". Ending sentences

with full stops

To join two or more complete sentences with commas may be possible in Chinese, but it is wrong in English. When a sentence is structurally complete, whether long or short, it should end with a full stop.

For example:

He went out on Sunday. He met his friend in the street. They talk for a while. Then they said "goodbye".

When he went out on Sunday, he met his friend in the street. They

talk for a while and then they said "goodbye".

Joining clauses with conjunction

When two or more sentences are closely connected in meaning, it may be better to put them into one sentence than separate them. Then those sentences will become clauses which should be joined together with proper conjunctions or other words, like relative pronouns.

We should distinguish between conjunctions and adverbs, such as but and however, so and therefore. We can join coordinate clauses with a comma and a conjunction, or with a semicolon, or with a semicolon and an adverb.

Mom washed the dishes; and I dried and put them away.

Some of the food crops failed, but the cotton did quite well.

Some of the food crops failed; however, the cotton did quite well.

A main clause in a complex sentence

In a complex sentence there must be a main clause, whether it is at the beginning, in the middle or at the end of the sentence.

Proper use of comparisons

Adjectives or adverbs of the comparative degree should be used only when there is a comparison.

We should not use adjectives or adverbs of the comparative degree when there is no comparison, explicit or implied.

In addition, we should remember that only things of the same kind can be compared.

For example:

This course seems more difficult.

China's population is larger than India's.

After many years Bill remembered me better than Carl did. Correct Use of Tense

Whenever we make a sentence, we should ask ourselves when the thing mentioned happens, and the right tense to report it.

1) He told/tells me that he is much better now.

2) She returned the book I lend/lent to her yesterday.

3) Last time we saw a film, and it is/was a good one.

Types of Sentence

According to their use, we have ―

1) declarative sentences. (陈述句)

2) interrogative sentences.

(疑问句)

3) imperative sentences.

(祈使句)

4) exclamation sentences. (感叹句)

According to their structure, we have ―

simple sentences. (简单句)

2) compound sentences. (并列句)

3) complex sentences. (复合句)

4) compound-complex sentences.

(并列复合句)

Types of Sentence

From a rhetorical(修辞) point of v iew, we have ―

1) loose sentences. (松散句)

2) periodic sentences. (工整句)

3) balanced sentences. (对杖句)

4) Short and long sentences (长短句)

Coordination(并列) and Subordination(从属)

When we mention two or more things or ideas of equal importance, we often use coordinate clauses joined with a coordinating conjunction (and, but, or, nor, yet, so, or for). (coordination) When we express an important idea in a main clause and one or more less important ideas in subordinate clauses, we are using the method of subordination.

The choice of coordination or subordinations mainly decided by the relationship between the ideas to be expressed.

Effective Sentences

Unity (统一性)

Coherence (连贯性)

Conciseness(简洁性)

Emphasis (有重点性)

Variety (多样性)

Unity (统一性)

Unity is the first quality of an effective sentence. It refers to two qualities: there is only one main idea in a sentence, and that idea is complete.

Ideas that are closely connected can be expressed in one sentence, while ideas that are not closely connected should not be put into one sentence.

1)_ Born in a small town in South China in the early 50s, he grew up to be a famous musician. (×)

2)_ He is from Hebei, and I am 22 years old now.(×)

Coherence (连贯性)

Coherence means clear and reasonable connection between parts. A sentence is coherence when its words or parts are properly connected and their relationship clear.

Do not separate words that are closely related;

Do not use a pronoun with ambiguous reference;

Do not use a dangling modifier;

Do not make confusing shift in person and number;

Do not make unnecessary changes in tense, voice, or mood.

Do not use different forms to express parallel ideas.

For example:

1) A man is judged not only by what he says but also by his deeds (by what he does ).

2) We thought she was charming, intelligent, and a very capable young woman (a charming, intelligent and capable young woman).

3) After listening to the speaker's inspiring speech, many questions were raised. (we raised many questions.)

4)_She told my sister that she( who is she) was wrong.

5)_He was knocked down by a bike, but it( ) was not serious.

6)_ read an interesting story in a magazine about sportsmen. (not a sentence at all)

Conciseness(简洁性)

A sentence should contain no unnecessary words. If the idea if fully expressed, the fewer words are used, the better.

Use a pronoun instead of repeating a noun.

Use a word instead of a phrase with the same meaning, and use a phrase instead of a clause with the same meaning.

Do not repeat words or phrases, if possible, in a sentence or in one that follow.

Do not use different words or phrases with similar meanings in the same sentence.

Do not repeat the same idea in different sentences except for emphasis.

Wordy sentences and redundant words can only make the meaning hazy and the main points inconspicuous. It is always necessary for us to reread what we have written and try to improve it by simplifying it and making it more concise.

For example:

1) My father has returned back from Beijing.

2) It is blue in colour.

3) In my opinion, I think you are right.

4) Mary is a quiet and careful woman.

5) Mr. Smith likes to drink all kinds of wine that are produced in France. (French wine)

6) The language lab is open to students not only from English Department but also from other department of the university.

7)My father is 65 years old, and he is a professor in Hunan University. He has a healthy body of his age.

My father, a professor of 65 years old in Hunan University, enjoys the best of_ health._ (用同位语改写)

Emphasis (有重点性)

Placing:

The end and the beginning , especially the end, of a sentence usually

attract readers' attention, so important elements of a sentence should be put at these two places, especially the end.

For example:

1) The teacher nodded with satisfaction when he was listening to her. The teacher, while listening to her, kept nodding with satisfaction.

2) The plane circled around the airport for ten minutes and then disappeared in the clouds.

After circling around the airport for ten minutes, the plane disappeared in the clouds.

Climactic sequence

In enumerating things or ideas, we should start from the least important and end with the most important, or in the climactic sequence.

For example:

He said he had lost interest in life, fame, position and money after that tragedy.

He said after tragedy he had lost interest in money, position, fame, and even life.

The use of verbs in the active voice

Verbs are generally more emphatic than nouns or any other part of speech.

For example:

The work was finished by them last night.

They finished the work last night.

But when the receiver of an action is more important than the doer, the passive voice is preferable.

When she got off the bus, lots of people welcomed her warmly. When she got (getting) off the bus, she was warmly welcomed by lots of people.

Subordination(使用从属结构)

Subordinating a part of a sentence is a way of giving emphasis to the main part / idea of the sentence.

For example:

A plane is wheeling over the city.

A plane is wheeling over the city, producing a big noise that surprised the inhabitants.

Repeating important words

Repetition as a rule should be avoided, but occasionally important words can be repeated for the sake of emphasis:

For example:

1) He speaks German well. His written German is also good.

He speaks German well; he also writes German well.

2) The Government praises itself in every possible way, but the Opposition says ugly things about it whenever possible.

The Government praises itself in every possible way (whenever possible), but the Opposition says ugly things about it in every possible way (whenever possible).

Negative-positive statements

When a negative statement is followed by a positive one, the meaning is emphasized by the contrast.

For example:

1)She does not care too much about prices; she thinks the quality of things is more important.

She does not care too much about prices; she cares much about the quality.

2) These children are busy playing with toys. They have little time for studies.

Busy playing with toys, these children have little time for studies. Rhetorical questions

Rhetorical questions are questions in form but emphatic statements in meaning. They are not asked to be answered.

For example:

Didn't I tell you not to be late

What are you talking about Nonsense.

Is that what you are going to give me

Variety (多样性)

It is often good to vary sentence structures and mix short long, simple and compound or complex, loose and periodic sentences, so long as the meaning is properly expressed. A series of sentences of the same structure and length with the same noun or pronoun as the subjects produce monotony.

For example:

1)She hurried down to the bank, withdrew all her savings, and gave them to her old mother.

Hurrying down to the bank, she withdrew all her savings and gave them to her old mother.

2)When they saw the curtain go up, the audience gasped in surprise and started applauding loudly.

Seeing the curtain go up, the audience gasped in surprise and started applauding loudly.

Or: The audience saw the curtain go up, gasped in surprise, and started applauding loudly.

《英语写作基础教程》练习

《英语写作基础教程》(A Basic Course in Wring),主编:丁往道、吴冰等,高等教育出版社1998年版。 Chapter 1 Using Proper Words Exercises 1Read the following passages, pick out from them a few common, formal and non-standard words, and say for what purposes these three types of words are used. ―You‘re th‘ Professor here, ain‘t you?‖ says Pa. ―Yes,‖ says Professor Herbert, ―and you are Dave‘s father.‖ ―Yes, ― says Pa, pulling out his gun and laying it on the seat in Professor Herbert‘s office. Professor Herbert‘s eyes got big behind his black-rimmed glasses when he saw Pa‘s gun. Color came into his pale cheeks. ―Jist a few things about this school I want to know,‖ says Pa. ―I‘m tryin‘ to make a scholar out‘n Dave. He‘s the only one out‘n eleven youngins I‘ve sent to high school. Here he comes in late and leaves me all th‘ work to do! He said you‘s all out bug huntin‘ yesterday and broke a cherry tree down. He had to stay two hours after school yesterday and work out money to pay on that cherry tree! Is that right?‖ Jesse Stuart: Split Cherry Tree A child, in growing up, may meet and learn from three different kinds of discipline. The first and most important is what we might call the Discipline of Nature or Reality. When he is trying to do something real, if he does the wrong thing or doesn‘t do the right one, he doesn‘t get the result he wants. If he doesn‘t pile one block right on top of another, or tries to build on a slanting surface, his tower falls down. If he hits the wrong key, he hears the wrong note. If he doesn‘t hit the nail squarely on the head, it bends, and he has to pull it out and start with another. If he doesn‘t measure properly what he is trying to build, it won‘t open, close, fit, stand up, fly, float, whistle, or do whatever he wants it to do. If he closes his eyes when he sw ings, he doesn‘t hit the ball. A child meets this kind of discipline every time he tries to do something, which is why it is so important in school to give children more chances to do things, instead of just reading or listening to someone talk (or pretending to). This discipline is a great teacher. The learner never has to wait long for his answer; it usually comes quickly, often instantly. Also it is clear, and very often points toward the needed correction; from what happened he can not only see that what he did was wrong, but also why, and what he needs to do instead. Finally, and most important, the giver of the answer, call it Nature, is impersonal, impartial, and indifferent. She does not give opinions, or make judgments; she cannot be wheedled, bullied, or fooled; she does not get angry or disappointed; she does not praise or blame; she does not remember past failures or hold grudges; with her one always gets a fresh start, this time is the one that counts. John Holt: Kinds of Discipline The postwar era witnessed the birth of perhaps the most powerful medium of mass communication in history: television. Experiments in broadcasting pictures (along with sound) over the airwaves had begun as early as the 1920s, but commercial television did not come into existence until shortly after World War II. It experienced a phenomenally rapid growth. In 1946, there were only 17 000 sets in the entire country [the United States]; by 1953, two thirds of all American homes had television sets; and by 1957, there were 40 million television sets in use — almost as many sets as there were families. More people had television sets, according to one report, than had refrigerators.... The impact of television on American life was rapid, pervasive, and profound. Televi-sion news had by the end of the 1 950s replaced newspapers, magazines and radios as the nation‘s most important vehicle
