This Book Covers The Following Topics: How to Start a Sentence Using ‘AS’ Using ‘AFTER’ and ‘BEFORE’ Using ‘AT’ Using ‘BY’ Using ‘FOR/FROM Using ‘IF’ Using ‘OF/ON/OUT’ Using ‘TO’ Using ‘IN’ Using ‘WITH’ Using ‘WH-WORDS’ ‘Asking Questions’ Using ‘VERB WORD’ Using ‘ING’ FORM of VERBS Using ‘PAST PARTICIPLES’ Using ‘-LY Words’ Using ‘PRONOUNS’ Transitional Expressions Miscellaneous Exercises: 1(A) and 1(B) Exercises: 2(A) and 2(B) Sample This: There are different ways to start a sentence in English. Using pronouns (I, we, you, they, he, she, it) is the most popular way to begin a sentence. But there are many other words that are widely used to start a sentence. They might be question words (what, where, etc.). They might be words formed from verbs, ending in –ing, -ed, -en, etc. Besides, words such as ‘to’ ‘in’ ‘with’, ‘if’, ‘after’ are also used to begin a sentence. Here, you will learn various words and phrases to start a sentence with. Important Note: Starting a sentence with ‘and’ or ‘but’ is correct or not! Using ‘And’ or ‘But’ to begin a sentence is generally considered grammatically Incorrect. But there is no hard and fast rule in this regard. So, you can use ‘And’ or ‘But’ to begin a sentence. But avoid excessive use of these words to begin a sentence. Use these words at the beginning of a sentence only when they really give strength to your language. Note: It is said that a sentence should not be begun with a conjunction of any kind, especially one of the FANBOYS (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so). But this is not a hard and fast rule. Particularly in spoken English, starting a sentence with ‘And’ or ‘But’ is common. 01. AS (used in place of ‘when’; while something else is happening) As a person ages, his body weakens physically. As another year draws to a close, our attention turns to a new year. As news of PM's hospitalization spread, fans and admirers began lining up outside the hospital.

As we grow older, we are more in control of our lives. As we progress, it is going to become more and more difficult. 02. AS (used in place of ‘because’) As a policeman myself, I am aware of all the laws. As he got busy, his wife picked up the son. As sanitary workers are absent on most of the days, sweeping of roads is also irregular resulting in the trash along the road. As the electric cables are hanging loosely, it may anytime lead to a major accident if any passer-by comes into contact. As the night temperature rose owing to the cloudy sky, there was some respite from cold conditions. 03. AS (used in place of ‘like’) As a great poet, he played with words. As in the past, the party president distanced herself from the government’s unpopular decision. 04. AS (used to introduce two events happening at the same time) As the bus was nearing, he moved aside. As the forces were conducting searches, the militants fired upon them, triggering an encounter.

Transitional Expressions -- Time Exercise: 1(A) and 1(B) Exercise: 2(A) to 2(C) SAMPLE THIS: Transitional Expressions -- Definition Meaning of ‘Transition’ -- to go from one point to another “Transitional Expressions” = “Transitional Words” + “Transitional Phrases” “Transitional (or Transition) Words” are also known as “connecting words”, “linking words” or “signal words“ “Transitional (or Transition) Phrases” are also known as “connecting phrases”, “linking phrases” or “signal phrases“ “Transitional Expressions” (also “Transitions”) could be defined as follows: • ‘Transitional expressions’ are words or phrases that provide bridges between sentences, parts of sentences, paragraphs and sections. • ‘Transitional expressions’ connect and relate sentences and paragraphs. • ‘Transitions expressions’ signal the relationship between sentences and paragraphs. • ‘Transitions expressions’ state the connections between ideas. • ‘Transitions expressions’ help carry over a thought from one part of a sentence to another, from one sentence to another, from one paragraph to another, from one section to another, or from one idea to another. • ‘Transitional expressions’ connect ideas from sentence to sentence and paragraph to paragraph. • ‘Transitional expressions’ are placed in the beginning, middle, or end of the sentences/paragraphs to explain connections between two or more ideas. • ‘Transitional expressions’ help carry over a thought from one idea to another. • ‘Transitional expressions’ produce clearer expression, by eliminating the excessive use of such words as ‘and’, ‘but’, ‘for’ ‘nor’, ‘or’ ‘so’ ‘yet’, etc. Choosing Transitional Expression -- Some transitional words and transitional phrases belong to more than one category. A transitional expression can change the whole meaning of a sentence. Therefore, you should choose the transition that best conveys your meaning. You should also avoid repetition and use different transition words or phrases in the same category if necessary. Placing transitional words: There are three options for placing transitional words: • The beginning of a sentence [Most common] • The middle of a sentence • The end of a sentence [Least Common] Example: Their products come with an insurance pack that covers accidental damage, theft, and breakage for a year. Furthermore, customers can also avail of an additional year of warranty. [Use of the transitional word ‘furthermore’ at the beginning of a sentence] Their products come with an insurance pack that covers accidental damage, theft, and breakage for a year. Customers, furthermore, can also avail of an additional year of warranty. [Use of the transitional word ‘furthermore’ in the middle of a sentence] Their products come with an insurance pack that covers accidental damage, theft, and breakage for a year. Customers can also avail of an additional year of warranty, furthermore. [Use of the transitional word ‘furthermore’ in the end of a sentence]
