, Question 1
1.1 Construct two different sentences using the same words from the following
sentence:
"Never before have we started a new year with so many questions, to which there are
so little answers (or are there?)"
1. We have never started a new year before with so many questions, to which there
are so little answers (or are there?).
2. There are so little answers to the many questions we have as we start a new
year, never before have we experienced this (or are there?).
1.2 Which language aspect has helped you to re-arrange the words in 1.1?
• Syntax
1.3 In your own words, explain the language aspect you used in 1.2.
Syntax is the arrangement of words to create well-formed and grammatically correct
sentences. It determines the order in which words and phrases are structured within a
sentence. In English, the typical sentence structure follows the Subject-Verb-Object
pattern, but this can be rearranged for emphasis or stylistic purposes while maintaining
grammatical correctness. In this task, syntax was used to reorder the words without
altering their meanings or grammatical integrity.
1.4 In TEXT A there are words that are conjoined into one.
Example: grandson = grand + son
1.4.1 Identify three other words that are conjoined into one.
1. Google Home (Google + Home)
2. bedside (bed + side)
3. voice-controlled (voice + controlled)
1.4.2 Demonstrate how each word is joined to form one word.
