- - - - Sometimes a sentence begins with the word "it" but the "it" does not refer to a noun in a previous sentence.
        
        Instead it refers to a phrase or a clause that appears later on in the same sentence.
        
        Examples:
        -It is difficult to prove this theory.
        -It is a coincidence that so many have done the same research.
    - - •Additions to the verb add information about the verb. They tell us more about the action or the situation, answering questions such as:
        when? where? how? why? for what purpose? despite what? under what condition?
        
        •Additions to the verb can be:
        -A Single Word
        -A Phrase
        -A Clause
    - - •A noun group is anything that functions as a noun. It can be:
        
        -Direct object of a verb (answering the question "what/who" after the verb)
        
        -Indirect object of a verb (answering the question "to whom" after the verb)
        
        -Subject of a sentence (saying "what/who" does the action of the verb)
        
        -Object of a preposition (answering the question "what/who" after words like to, of, with, for)
    - - Sometimes we put two sentences together, one after the other.
        Between the sentences we put connecting words such as and, or, but, yet, while, whereas or so.
        
        Examples:
        - The experiment was successful **and** he became famous.
        
        We watch a great deal of television **but** we don't ask ourselves what effects all this viewing has on us.
    - - When we speak or write, we group the words in a sentence together so that they will have meaning.
        
        The English sentence has the following parts: -Subject -Verb -The rest of the sentence
