SENTENCES

I. Definition: The sentence is the largest grammatical unit which expresses a complete thought or ideas has a definite grammatical form (one finite verb, one subject) and a certain intonation .

It could be said in another way that the sentence is a unit of speech which expresses a more or less complete thought and has a definite grammatical form and a certain intonation.

Every sentence shows the relation of the statement to reality from the point of view of the speaker (or writer).

Eg: This lesson is very interesting. Do you understand it?

One-word or abbreviated utterances can also be complete units of meaning, particularly in speech or written dialogue.

Eg: What! All right! Want any help?

Noise. People. Light. The city was awake.

The basic word order:

S (group) + V (group) + O (group) + Complement (group) + Adverbial (group)

Eg: The taxi driver shouted at me angrily in a loud voice.

They made him the chairman of the meeting every year.

Yours faithfully or Yours sincerely?

You already know how important it is to speak good English in an international working environment. If you work for a company which does business abroad, you probably read and write a lot of English, too. Writing, just like speaking, is communication. In our letters and emails we need to express many things: authority, gratitude, dissatisfaction, etc. Expressing ourselves well and with the correct level of formality is a skill.

Do you have that skill? Ask yourself these questions:
Do you present yourself in a professional manner when you write? What image do you give to the people who read your letters and emails?

In short, you want to give a professional image when you write to your customers and business partners. To get you started, we've prepared some lists of standard phrases. Take a look at:
1/ Opening Lines
2/ Closing Lines
3/ Dear Sir and Yours Faithfully
