THE SIMPLE SENTENCE IN ENGLISH AND ROMANIAN

Journal Title: Studii de Gramatica Contrastiva - Year 2014, Vol 21, Issue 21

Abstract

In English, most simple sentences of more than one word consist of two nuclei. The copula “to be” serves only as a link between the subject and the nominal part of the predicate. There are attributive adjuncts that qualify nouns, predicative adjuncts that qualify nouns and pronouns, and adverbial adjuncts which qualify verbs, adjectives, and adverbs. Simple sentences may be divided into: declarative, interrogative, commands and exclamatory. In Romanian, the traditional classification of the sentences is made according to their communicative purpose and to the number of their structural units. Sentences can be one-member and bi-member; simple un-extended and simple extended; and nominal and verbal. The simple sentence does not contain secondary parts of the sentence.
