I have read ch 8 in the book rhetorical grammar. It talks about optianal slot. Optional slot is pattern formuls can be the basic requiemnts for grammatical sentences. It talks about opening adverbail the example the book gave was once upon a time. Prepositional phrases is a noun phrase, The subordinate clause subject - predicate, infinvitve phrases- adverbs, phrases, and subordinete clause, Movablilty and closure- give us the opption to change the write but mean the same thing, example the boy like the toys, to rewrite the eight years old boy like the toys, the qualiflers- adverbs and adjectives. What i have read, was just examples and differnt type of grammar that the book shows. I think that this chapter is very helpful with grammer with the proper structure on a sentence. Do you think you know how to do a structurly sentence?

I know that I am not perfect in my ability to structure sentences. For my level, I feel that I am sufficient and that I should look more into it if I would like to major in something with English.

I didn't understand too well what you were explaining regarding sentence structures. I believe you should be a bit more thorough; good though.

The summary was very confusing and i could not benefit from it. I do need a lot of work on my ability to structure my sentences and it would be helpful for me to read the article myself then mabye i could understand your summary.

This summary was very hard for me to understand. The sentences were very hard for me to get if you just read over your work it might help make them better and easier to understand.
