☆☆☆☆☆A grammatical construction in which an adverb is placed to and the verb stem
A simple subject is what or whom the sentence is about, the main noun. A simple predicate is the action the subject is doing in the sentence, a verb. These are simple, not associated with the compound subject or compound predicate, which are inverse to these. SO:
Sentence: The old dog loafs by the fire.
Simple subject: dog
Simple predicate: loafs
A split infinitive is a verb that has a word (usually an adverb) between "to" and the main verb.
Examples:
We like to often travel together.
He seemed to really enjoy the trip.
Simple, compound, complex

Incomparable adjectives and adverbs
A variety of sentence patterns can alleviate choppy writing that halts and stops, create a more dynamic flow, and pique the reader's interest. =]
An adverb is a word which modifies a verb, such as: She haltingly spoke of her experience. In this sentence, the word "haltingly" is the adverb. In the sentence you provided, "How" is not an adverb.
The phrase "state of the art" should be hyphenated when it is used as an adjective, e.g.: : "This machine is an example of state-of-the-art technology", but not when used as a noun as in the following sentence: : "The state of the art in this field is mostly related to the X technology".
"In the sentence below, identify the pronoun and its antecedent?"
In this sentence the pronoun is its.
The antecedent for the possessive adjective its is the noun pronoun.
A complex sentence is a sentence consisting of an independent clause and a subordinating clause. Or, to put it more simply, complex sentences involve more than just a straightforward noun + verb. Complex sentences include extra phrases added to a base sentence, but which cannot stand alone as a sentence.
For example:
Simple sentence: I cannot work in the garden.
Complex sentence: Because it is snowing outside, I cannot work in the garden.
"Because it is snowing outside" is a dependent clause, and cannot stand on its own.
Another example:
Simple sentence: I intend to work in my garden this afternoon.
Complex sentence: If the weather stays fine, I intend to work in my garden this afternoon.
A complex sentence is one that contains a single independent clause and at least one dependent clause.
