Skills bank Identifying the parts of a long sentence
Long sentences contain many separate parts. You must be able to recognize these parts to understand the sentence as a whole. Mark up a long sentence as follows: ●
Locate the subjects, verbs and objects/complements by underlining the relevant nouns, verbs and adjectives.
●
Put a dividing line: ■
at the end of a phrase which begins a sentence ■ before a phrase at the end of the sentence ■ between clauses
● Put brackets round extra pieces of information. Example:
In recent years, many writers have claimed that there is a significant need for Internet third-party payment systems in developing countries, but the evidence suggests that demand for these systems is low and will remain so for a significant period of time.
In recent years, | many writers have claimed | that there is a significant need | for Internet third-party payment systems | in developing countries, | but | the evidence suggests | that demand for these systems | is low | and will remain so | (for a significant period of time).
Constructing a long sentence
Begin with a very simple SV(O)(C)(A) sentence and then add extra information. Example:
national governments
As many recent case studies have shown,
national governments
in every part of the world
Writing a bibliography/reference list
The IEEE* style is the most common in computer science and information technology. Information should be given as shown in the following source references for a book, an Internet article and a journal article. The final list should be preceded by a number indicating the order in which the items appear in the text. See the reference list on page 83 for a model.
