Carefully analyzing the details of a few paragraphs
Explanation:
<u>Question</u>
<u>Question 2: How has the writer used language in the extract below to create a mysterious</u>
<u>atmosphere</u>
<u>Answer</u>
<u>(2) Writers build suspense by leaving the most shocking thing to the end of a long sentence. ... Fragments - an incomplete sentence. Sometimes this gives the effect of confusion, ragged thoughts. The incompleteness of the utterance or phrase can create mystery, which increases suspense.</u>
The mistakes:
• “I hear you will go to Paris last month”
Should be- “I heard you went to Paris last month.”
• “I am sure you will.”
Should be- “I’m sure you did.”
• “Will you see Sophia...”
Should be- “Did you see Sophia...”
• “I did heard Ridley...”
Should be- “I did hear Ridley...”
• “I will see our old friend Steven Eastwood last week.”
Should be- “I saw our old friend Steven Eastwood last week.”
• “He will be doing very well.”
Should be- “He was doing very well.”
• “It was called U.T...
Should be- “It is called U.T...”
• “You must saw it.”
Should be- “You must see it.”
That’s all! The main problem through out this passage was the tenses. The mistakes should be put into past tense.
Hope this helps; have a good day! :)
