The diagram S NP+VP means that <em>a sentence can be rewritten as a noun phrase plus a verb phrase. </em>This is a one of the phrase structure rules by Noam Chomsky (1957). The purpose of these syntactic rules is to break down sentences into their constituent parts (syntactic categories) including both lexical categories and phrasal categories.

S NP+VP reads as follows: A S(sentence) consists of an NP (noun phrase) followed by a VP (verbal phrase).  By following these rules, you are able to construct multiple English sentences yet, as the theory is merely based on the structure and does not consider other factors, it is highly possible to make constructions that are semantically old. For instance, the well-known sentence "colorless green ideas sleep furiously".

This sentence was constructed by Chomsky to show that phrase structure rules are capable of generating syntactically correct but semantically incorrect sentences.

. Read the sentence and identify the (antecedent) that corresponds with the bolded pronoun. (Several) of the guests wandered in
sladkih [1.3K]
Okay, an antecedent of a pronoun is always a noun, so immediately you can reject the words late and wandered as incorrect answers, because late is an adjective, and wandered is a verb. This leaves us with two nouns, guests and party. Obviously, the pronoun several refers to the noun guests, so the correct answer is guests - that is the antecedent that corresponds with the pronoun. Several guests, not several parties.

Answer:

If you think that a blank sheet of paper or a blinking cursor on the computer screen is a scary sight, you are not alone. Many writers, students, and employees find that beginning to write can be intimidating. When faced with a blank page, however, experienced writers remind themselves that writing, like other everyday activities, is a process. Every process, from writing to cooking to bike riding to learning to use a new cell phone will get significantly easier with practice.

Just as you need a recipe, ingredients, and proper tools to cook a delicious meal, you also need a plan, resources, and adequate time to create a good written composition. In other words, writing is a process that requires steps and strategies to accomplish your goals.

These are the five steps in the writing process:

Prewriting

Outlining the structure of ideas

Writing a rough draft

Revising
