SIMPLE SENTENCES & COMPOUND SENTENCES
(Câu đơn & câu ghép)
I. Câu đơn tiếng Anh – Simple sentences
– Là câu chỉ có một mệnh đề độc lập.
Ex: Trang plays the piano. (Trang chơi đàn piano.)
– Câu đơn không phải là câu ngắn mà nó chỉ thể hiện một ý chính.
Ex: There are my books. (Đây là những quyển sách của tôi.)
– Một câu đơn có thể có nhiều hơn một chủ ngữ.
Ex: Nam and Khang are playing football. (Nam và Khang đang chơi đá bóng.)
– Một câu đơn có thể có nhiều động từ.
Ex: Trang ate peanuts and drank coffee. (Trang đã ăn đậu phộng và uống cà phê.)
II. Câu ghép tiếng Anh – Compound sentences
– Là câu chứa từ hai mệnh đề độc lập trở lên, diễn tả các ý chính có tầm quan trọng ngang nhau.
– Chúng ta sử dụng các cách sau để nối hai mệnh đề:
– sử dụng dấu chấm phẩy (;)
Ex: I met David yesterday; he’s just come out of hospital. (Tôi đã gặp David ngày hôm qua; anh ấy vừa mới xuất viện.)
– sử dụng dấu phẩy (,) và một liên từ đẳng lập (and, but, so, yet)
Ex: The bus was very crowded, so I had to stand all the way. (Xe buýt rất đông nên tôi phải đứng suốt chặng đường.)
He loves her, but she doesn’t love him. (Anh yêu cô, nhưng cô không yêu anh.)
– sử dụng dấu chấm phẩy (;) và một trạng từ nối tiếp – từ chuyển tiếp (however, therefore, nevertheless, moreover, otherwise,…) và theo sau đó là dấu phẩy (,)
Ex: The bus was very crowded; therefore, I had to stand all the way. (Xe buýt rất đông; vì vậy, tôi đã phải đứng suốt chặng đường.)
