Ellipsis is a new topic for me because I have not come true this topic before this. So, the meaning is ellipsis is about omission of words in the sentence but the sentence still can be understood by the readers. Based on the lecture and my understanding on that day, ellipsis is when words at the beginning of a quoted sentence are omitted, it is not necessary to use an ellipsis to indicate that words have been left out when that fragment can fit into the flow of your text. If the omission comes after the end of a sentence, the ellipsis will be placed after the period. It can be done by leaving out the subjects, objects, verb phrases and even pronouns. We can also insert (...) when quoting. In conclusion, this topic is not difficult to understand. I really do understand about ellipsis during the lecture class.

Tutorial Week 10: Sentence Structures

The tutorial was started with exercise based on sentence structure. Dr. Noorizah pass the exercises to the whole class and we start discussing among each other. As for myself, I think this topic was easy to understand at first during lecture class last week. But when I was doing the exercise and found many sentences, I get stuck and totally confused. Based on my learning during lecture, simple sentence has only an independent clause. For example, Ram loves his parents very much. And as for compound sentence, there would be two independent clauses. For example, She likes to eat fruits and she likes to eat vegetables. But when it comes to complex and compound complex sentence, i really get confused even i knew the meaning of the structures. Basically, i think that this topic is not hard but it is very confusing. But the best part is, I am able to understand better after doing the exercises and discuss the answer in class together with Dr. Noorizah.

Lecture week 9 - Sentence Structures
Haifa Binti Nordin (A142694)
In this week's lecture, we learned about sentence structures. Since we have learned it in our Written Communication's class, it is easier for me to understand the lecture. Although both lectures talks about the same thing, I still have troubles in understanding what is compound complex sentences. Sometimes when it is a long sentence, I even had a hard time in recognizing whether it is independent clause or dependent clause. For me, it is an interesting topic yet sometimes confusing. So I hope that we could do some exercises in class so that I could get some enlightenment on this topic.

Tutorial week 9 (non-finite clauses)
Haifa Binti Nordin (A142694)
In the tutorial class, we discussed about non-finite clauses. When Dr Noorizah explained about non-finite clauses, it was hard for me to understand because there were so many terms that we have to remember. But when we did some of the exercises given in class, and discussed the answers together with the lecturer, I understand it a little bit better than before. I remember that finite clauses can be both independent and dependent clause and non-finite clauses are only dependent clause.

LECTURE WEEK 9- Sentence Structures
Afiqah Binti Abd Aziz (A142754)
This lecture is about a new topic which is 'Sentence Structures'. But, as for me I have been introduced to this topic in Written Communication class. So, i was able to catch up and understand easily compared to the other topics before this. But, when i come across long sentences, i will automatically get confused. Firstly, i really do understand about simple sentence and compound sentence. As for complex sentence and compound complex, i need more exercises and explanations. When it comes to identifying sentences, this is the though part for me because i often make mistakes here. I hope i can learn more about this because it is quite confusing for me.

WEEK 9 - TUTORIAL WEEK 9 ( Non- Finite Clauses)
Afiqah Binti Abd Aziz (A142754)
Our class discussed about non-finite clauses. And all of us we given exercises based on the topic by our lecturer. As for me, I'm quite blur about non-finite clauses at first. Later, after completed the exercises and discuss among all of my classmates, I can feel the difference. I got a new understanding about non-finite clauses. Two things that i really remember are the 'bare infinitives' and 'to infinitives'. There are another 2 which is quite difficult for me to understand. But, during tutorial, Dr. Noorizah taught us and explained about both finite and non-finite clauses. I am able to see the differences between both which is : Finite clauses- both independent and dependent are possible. As for non- finite clauses: only dependent clause.
Thank you :)
