Structure: ‘As vs when vs while’

This time in our structure help we talk about the difference between; as, when, and while. These three words are used to talk about actions that happen at the same time. First we need to think about two simple ideas; a long action and a short action. Different connecting words are necessary depending on which actions happen at the same time. Check out the diagram below for more information and try to write some examples of your own.

Structure: ‘Infinitive of purpose’

This time in our structure help we talk about situations when you explain why you do something. So imagine you go to your doctor and you want to say why you did that; you can use this structure. We can call this structure the ‘infinitive of purpose’. There is another structure we can use to do the same thing, do you know what that is? Check out the diagram below and write some examples yourself.

Structure: ‘Adverbs 3’

This time in our structure help we continue to talk about adverbs. This week it’s connecting adverbs. They’re similar to conjunctions (and, but, so, because) but not the same. Connecting adverbs don’t grammatically connect to the previous sentence as you’ll see in the examples. Connecting adverbs are usually used at the start of a new sentence. Look at the diagram below for more information.

Structure: ‘Adverbs 2’

This time in our structure help we continue to talk about adverbs. This time we talk about adverbs of place and adverbs of time. In our previous ‘word order’ posts we didn’t talk about ‘place’ and ‘time’ words as adverbs, but they are, and you probably know their positions in sentences. Have a look at the diagram below to confirm if you’re right.

The position of adverbs of place and time. — Adverbs 2.

Have a great day!
