In writing a sentence correctly, the following technicalities should be considered.

(1) The information should be clear

(2) Use transitional words

(3) Cautiously use subordinate clause

(4) construct the sentence in an active voice

(5) construct the sentence with the use of active verbs

(6) follow grammar rules- that includes diction and spelling. Avoid using highfalutin words.

In the case of the above sentence choice A is incorrect because instead of using the adverb "there", it had used "their" which is a pronoun. The use of "their" is only applicable if there is an object of possession. Choice C is also incorrect since the word "manageable" is spelled as "managable" which is technically wrong. Lastly, Choice D is incorrect because the words "calendar" and "manageable" are spelled as "calender" and " managable", respectively. The three declarative sentences did not follow the grammar rules.

Therefore, the answer is the second sentence: "This delivery calendar is only manageable if there are two of us." because it had followed the grammatical rules on sentence construction.

Writing the correct sentence is <em><u>This delivery calendar is only manageable if there are two of us</u></em>

<h2>Further explanation </h2>

Sentences are a fundamental part of any language. Fortunately, the rules of syntax and sentence structure in English are easy to understand, apply, and learn.

You need to understand a few things before learning the different types of English sentence structure and the rules of their preparation.

<em><u>Subject and Predicate </u></em>

The most basic English sentences usually consist of two parts: subject and predicate. The subject refers to who or what acts in the sentence. Predicate provides information related to or about the subject.

<em><u>Independent Clause and Dependent Clause </u></em>

The clause refers to groups of words that contain subject and predicate.

There is an independent clause, which can stand alone as a complete sentence. There is also a dependent clause, which must be combined with an independent clause to have meaning.

Subject, predicate, and clause can be found in any sentence. Meanwhile, direct objects and indirect objects only exist in a few sentences but are very commonly used and you need to recognize them.

Direct object refers to something that is directly given action by the subject. The indirect object is who or what receives the results of the action.

Four Basic Sentence Structures in English

There are short and simple sentences, there are also long, complicated, and complex sentences. Here are some types of sentences and the rules of their composition:

<em><u>Simple Sentence:</u></em> This sentence contains an independent clause.

<em><u>Compound Sentence:</u></em> This sentence is formed when one or several simple sentences are combined, usually with a conjunction like and, or, but, or a semicolon.

<em><u>Complex Sentence: </u></em>This sentence contains one independent clause and one dependent clause.

<em><u>Compound-complex sentence:</u></em> This sentence contains at least two independent clauses and one or several dependent clauses.

Word Composition Rules

English is very concerned with syntax, namely the arrangement and arrangement of words in sentences. If confused, the rules below can help.

<em><u>Adjective Before Noun, Adverb After Verb </u></em>

Adjectives are always placed before the noun or pronoun that is affected. Adverbs are usually placed after the verb they affect.

<em><u>Info is arranged in the order Place, Manner, Time </u></em>

When adding details to a sentence, remember the "place, manner, time" rule. Information is usually arranged in that order.

Indeed, occasionally you will hear a sentence that does not follow these rules, and that does not mean the grammar is wrong, but this is the standard sequence. Sometimes "time" is mentioned at the beginning of a sentence, usually as an emphasis.

<em><u>Don't Start Sentences with Conjunction </u></em>

In official English writing, avoid starting sentences with conjunctions.

The conjunction is conjunctions like and, but, yet, or, and because.

<em><u>Words of Question Put at the Beginning </u></em>

In English, certain words are always used in questions. These question words are how, when, why, what, where, etc., which are usually placed at the beginning of a sentence.

You will complete your character study of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth by writing about their development from the beginning of the
Gwar [14]

One of the main motifs of the play is the decay of corruption. The development of both characters mimics the development of a disease. In a sense, Macbeth is a remake of the play Hamlet that has somewhat of a “happy ending” though centered not on Hamlet but on the usurper, Claudius.

The disease motif is quite evident as the play starts with a storm over a Scottish moor. The storm is like a feverish disease that attacks the body of the Scottish land and it foreshadows the decay and putrefaction that Macbeth’s ambition will bring upon Scotland. This is further exemplified by the introduction of the three witches; they are old, ugly, haggard and dirty. Macbeth is introduced as a courageous hero who kills a traitorous Scotsman. In other words, Macbeth is symbolically healthy, in his prime, both physically and morally. The infection occurs when the witches address him as Thane of Cawdor, and it is interesting to note that Banquo is NOT infected by the prophecies, just like some people are more vulnerable to diseases than others (usually because of a genetic predisposition). Macbeth resists contagion for a moment but quickly starts succumbing to it. Then his wife, Lady Macbeth (why is she unnamed?) is infected as well and she definitely has no “antibodies” for she succumbs very quickly to the disease. Due to the fact that she is the one that pushes Macbeth to regicide, she is like a personification of the Biblical Eve. Macbeth still tries to resist, but Lady Macbeth taunts him about his manhood and he finally falls. In act II there is even an interesting comic conversation between Malcolm and a porter about how alcohol provokes sleepiness, red noses and peeing further. In other words he is describing the symptoms of a disease and foreshadowing the effects of Macbeth’s contagion on Scotland. During the banquet, Macbeth sees Banquo’s ghost, though nobody else does, like the feverish hallucinations of a sick man. The sickening corruption will be further personified by Hecate, the returning witches and later by Lady Macbeth’s sleepwalking which is an actual disease, as she finally evolves into madness. There is even a doctor at the hall of Dunsinane which further emphasizes the disease motif by his mere presence. Lady Macbeth dies by killing herself and Macbeth dies by the sword of Malcolm. The infected lady Macbeth kills herself to escape her disease and Malcolm uses a symbolic scalpel to extirpate the cancerous Macbeth from Scotland.
