Opened sentences with discourse markers?

English

Anvisha [2.4K]3 years ago

Discourse markers are words or phrases like anyway, right, okay, as I say, to begin with. We use them to connect, organise and manage what we say or write or to express attitude:

[friends are talking]

A:

So, I’ve decided I’m going to go to the bank and ask for a car loan.

B:

That sounds like a good idea.

C:

Well, you need a car.

B:

Right.

A:

Anyway, I was wondering if either of you would teach me how to drive.

The discourse markers in this extract have a number of uses:so marks the beginning of a new part of the conversation.

well marks a change in the focus (from getting a car loan to needing a car).

right marks a response (B is agreeing with C).

anyway marks a shift in topic (from buying a new car to having driving lessons).

We use different discourse markers in speaking and writing. In speaking, the following discourse markers are very common:

anyway

like

right

you know

fine

now

so

I mean

good

oh

well

as I say

great

okay

mind you

for a start

In writing, the following discourse markers are common:

firstly

in addition

moreover

on the other hand

secondly

in conclusion

on the one hand

to begin with

thirdly

in sum

Discourse markers do not always have meanings that you will find in your dictionary. However, they do have certain functions, and some discourse markers, such as well, can have a number of functions.

"But her husband was on his hands and knees groping wildly on the floor in search of the paw. If he could only find it before th
nekit [7.7K]

The correct answer is A.

The author does not allude the visitor as being Herbert. He merely call it "the thing outside". Therefore, this is not a way the author creates suspense in the story.

The rest of the options: the description of the scraping, the echoes of the knocks, and the difficulty to find the object that was needed, are all elements that help build up suspense in this passage.

Hatshy [7]

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

Explain the following exchange from Romeo and Juliet:

Mercutio: "Nay, gentle Romeo, we must have you dance." Romeo: "Not I, believe me. You have dancing shoes With nimble soles; I have a soul of lead So stakes me to the ground I cannot move."

Answer and Explanation:

In the text shown above, we can see that Mercutio is encouraging Romeo and encouraging him to forget his love problems and have fun. Mercutio tries to show Romeu that it is not worth it to suffer for an unrequited love, but that he must take advantage of the opportunities for entertainment that appear. However, Romeo says he can't do it, because his soul is loaded and heavy with problems.

Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

The correct answer would be D) suggest that soldiers are followers, not leaders

Explanation:

This is the correct answer because in the question and passage, Goines is discussing the members of the Army, which he is not one. So the first and second options are unacceptable. And mocking the way the Army enlists is not really optional either, because it is not directed towards that specific group
