Using language
How can we distinguish simple sentences from complex sentences
For instance: Where a tree stands is my hometown.
For instance: A tree stands in front of the teaching building.
Can you find out subjects in these sentences
1. A tree has fallen across the road.
2. You are a student.
3. To find your way can be a problem.
4. Smoking is harmful to you.
5. What she said is not yet known.
6. That we shall be late is certain.
7. It’s certain that we shall be late.
Look at the sentences and answer the questions. Sentences (a) and (c) are from the reading passage.
a …what I say is that my pictures aren’t hurting anyone, so who cares
b “That my pictures aren’t hurting anyone is what I say, so who cares ”
c It’s true that inner beauty is very important…
d That inner beauty is very important is true…
1. What is the role of the words in bold in each sentence
The role of the words in bold in each sentence is to act as the subject of the sentence.
2. In sentence (a), what does “what” refer to
In sentence (a), "what" refers to the thing(s) that/which the speaker says
a …what I say is that my pictures aren’t hurting anyone, so who cares
b “That my pictures aren’t hurting anyone is what I say, so who cares ”
c It’s true that inner beauty is very important…
d That inner beauty is very important is true…
3. What does “it” refer to in sentence (c)
In sentence (c), "it" refers to "that inner beauty is very important".
4. Why does the author choose to use sentences (a) and (c) instead of sentences (b) and (d)
The author chooses to use sentences (a) and (c) to place the focus on the end of the sentences, rather than the beginning.
Now look for more sentences with subject clauses in the reading passage, and summarise their uses in your own words.
Read the passage and choose the correct words.
It is a well-known fact that / what the faces some people show to the world might be completely different to their real personalities. For instance, most comedians have permanent smiles on their faces and always sound cheerful because that's the nature of their work. From this, it's impossible to know what / where their true feelings are. Although they might be laughing on the outside, they might be crying on the inside. That / How others are feeling is not something that we should make assumptions about, because it's not always obvious who is truly happy. What / That is certain is that comedians often use comedy to help them understand themselves and the world. In fact, comedy is a very serious job indeed!

Read the descriptions and match them to the characters from literature. Pay attention to the words in bold.
He is able to transform into various animals and objects. People often regard him as frightful or monstrous, but in fact he is just and righteous. When there’s danger, he never hesitates to protect others.
She is small and her face is plain. Despite a difficult childhood, she grows up to be an independent, determined and generous young woman. She remains true to herself and never loses hope, faith or dignity in her search for love and happiness.
He has the outward appearance of the King of the Beasts, but he has a timid and sensitive character, which causes him to believe he is a coward. However, he performs brave actions even when he feels afraid, proving that he is in fact a courageous individual.
He is a thin and bookish boy with untidy dark hair. He doesn’t appear to be particularly tough and sometimes looks as if he lacks confidence. In reality, he is brave and loyal, and always ready for a dangerous challenge when it is necessary to do the right thing.
