BASIC STATEMENTS
![Page 5: This is YOU climbing the stairs of success](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022102910/568142bc550346895daefecc/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
BASIC STATEMENTS Bells rang. Love is blind. The cat scratched Sally. John gave his mother flowers. The teacher considered him a good
student.
Every English sentence contains a basic statement. It may stand alone as one short sentence as in the examples above, or it may be buried inside a longer sentence. It is the kernel that you have left after you chop away everything in a sentence except its essential meaning; it is the kernel you build on when you want to make a sentence longer.
This should be common sense… you don’t have to copy it.

THE LOOSE SENTENCE
![Page 7: This is YOU climbing the stairs of success](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022102910/568142bc550346895daefecc/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
THE LOOSE SENTENCE
Basic statement: Bells rang. Loose sentence: Bells rang, filling the air
with their clangor, startling pigeons into flight from every belfry, bringing people into the streets to hear the news.
This sentence is a basic statement with a string of details added to it.
OK, now you can start copying! Take notes on your own sheet of paper and add them behind the I heart Grammar page in your GPS.

THE LOOSE SENTENCE
Basic statement: The teacher considered him a good student.
Loose sentence: The teacher considered him a good student, steady if not inspired, willing if not eager, responsive to instruction and conscientious about his work.
Still the loose sentence… just another example!

THE PERIODIC SENTENCE
![Page 10: This is YOU climbing the stairs of success](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022102910/568142bc550346895daefecc/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
THE PERIODIC SENTENCE
Basic statement: John gave his mother flowers.
Periodic sentence: John, the tough one, the sullen kid who scoffed at any show of sentiment, gave his mother flowers.
In this sentence, additional details are placed before the basic statement. Delay, of course, is the secret weapon of the periodic sentence.
Yep… you need this too! I’d pay particular attention to the part that says “delay” is the secret weapon! That’s a style hint as to WHY you
would use a periodic sentence.

THE PERIODIC SENTENCE
Basic statement: The cat scratched Sally. Periodic sentence: Suddenly, for no
apparent reason, the loveable cat scratched Sally.

THE PERIODIC (INTERRUPTIVE)
Basic statement: Love is blind. Periodic sentence: Love, as everyone
knows except those who happen to be afflicted with it, is blind.
In this sentence, additional details are added inside the basic statement:

THE COMBINATION
Basic statement: John was angry. Periodic: John was suddenly, violently
angry. More periodic: John, usually the calmest

THE COMBINATION
Periodic with Loose: John, usually the calmest of men, was suddenly, violently angry, so angry that he lost control completely.
Try moving some of the detail up front: Usually the calmest of men, John was suddenly, violently angry, so angry that he lost control completely.
