How do you rearrange the words and phrases to make meaningful sentences?

Answer 1

Sentences can be inverted (have their words arranged differently), or have certain words replaced with others, in order to convey a similar meaning as the original sentence, but better suit a situation.

When a sentence is inverted, its words are rearranged; certain words may be changed in order to help the sentence to make sense. For example:

'A flock of birds flew over the courtyard.'

'Over the courtyard a flock of birds flew.'

The words used in sentences can also be changed. This is done for a number of reasons; sometimes, so as to add flare or detail to a sentence. For example:

'The dog jumped over the fence and ran across the field.'

'The dog bounded over the fence and raced across the field.'

Answer 2

Start with the subject - a general noun, Proper Noun, or pronoun (I, He, She, They).

Decide on an active Verb that fits your message. An active verb shows action. (ran, walk, hit, spoke etc)

Decide Who (subject) is doing what (verb) to Whom or What (the object).

The boy kicked the ball.

(Who) (did) (what).

Decide if a subject or object needs a modifier-- adjective on subject; adverb on Object (usually).

The small boy kicked the rolling ball.

Sometimes, we need to include lots of information, and must decide how much info one sentence can hold. We use clausesto hold information that goes with the sentence as extra information. These are often set off with a comma, but do not have to be.

On the way to the car, the small boy kicked the rolling ball.

On the way to the car, the small boy kicked the rolling ball out of the driveway.

When adding information to a sentence, we often need "transition words" and "linking words" to make the more detailed sentence make sense.

On the way to the car, the small boy kicked the rolling ball out of the driveway, but it got stuck on a crack in the asphalt.

On the way to the car, the small boy kicked the rolling ball out of the driveway toward his brother, and his brother picked it up.

That is how we "build" sentences.

Answer 3

All you do is add to the sentence so that you can read it and it makes sense if you were saying it, not in an answer to a question.

Answer 4

Please restate your question, I'm not sure what you mean.
