Point 1: Sequence adverbs often come at the start of a sentence or clause and act as a marker as to order.

• First, heat the pan.
• After that, you press the delete key.
• Then you can make your correction.

Reading Strategies

SKIMMING

Skimming is sometimes referred to as gist reading. Skimming may help in order to know what the text is about at its most basic level. You might typically do this with a magazine or newspaper and would help you mentally and quickly shortlist those articles which you might consider for a deeper read. You might typically skim to search for a name in a telephone directory.

You can reach a speed count of even 700 words per minute if you train yourself well in this particular method. Comprehension is of course very low and understanding of overall content very superficial.

Skimming involves reading quickly to get the main idea of a text. Reading topic sentences (usually the first sentence of a paragraph) can be an effective way of understanding the main idea of the text.

•         Read the first paragraph of the chapter line by line
•         Next, read all the bold print headings starting at the beginning
•        Read the first sentence of every paragraph
•        Study and pictures, graphs, charts, and maps
•        Finally, read the last paragraph of the chapter

The Sentence

WHAT IS THE SENTENCE?

A sentence is a group of words which starts with a capital letter and ends with a full stop (.), question mark (?) or exclamation mark (!). A sentence contains or implies a predicate and a subject.

Sentences contain clauses.

Simple sentences have one clause.

Compound sentences and complex sentences have two or more clauses.

Sentences can contain subjects and objects.

The subject in a sentence is generally the person or thing carrying out an action. The object in a sentence is involved in an action but does not carry it out, the object comes after the verb.

For example:            The boy climbed a tree.

If you want to say more about the subject (the boy) or the object (the tree), you can add an adjective.

For example:            The young boy climbed a tall tree.

If you want to say more about how he climbed the tree you can use an adverb.

For example:            The young boy quickly climbed a tall tree.

The sentence becomes more interesting as it gives the reader or listener more information.
