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 and underline 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, young women have become increasingly preoccupied with their body image, in some cases even following life-threatening dietary regimes in order to match the size and shape of excessively thin fashion celebrities.
In recent years, | young women have become (increasingly) preoccupied | with their body image, | in some cases | (even) following life-threatening dietary regimes | in order to | match the size and shape of (excessively) thin fashion celebrities.
Constructing a long sentence Begin with a very simple SV(O)(C)(A) sentence and then add extra information. Example:
Drug dependency
Although drug dependency
and impulsive control disorders
and impulse control disorders
such as obsessive texting
Writing a bibliography/reference list
The APA (American Psychological Association) system is probably the most common in the social sciences. 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 in alphabetical order according to the family name of the writer. See the reference list on page 83 for a model.
