Rules for Analysing Multiple Sentences

Rules for Analysing Multiple Sentences :



The process of analysing Double and Multiple sentences can be described under the following rules.

1. Pick out the Finite Verb of each clause.

2. If the Finite Verb is understood, but not expressed, supply it.

3. Pick out the Subject to each Finite Verb in succession.

4. If the Subject to any Finite Verb is understood, but not expressed, supply it.

5. Then write out each clause with its Subject, Verb and Adverbial Qualification (if there is any) in full.

6. Pick out the Connective word, by which any one clause is joined to any other clause.
