Question

Rearrange the following words and phrases to form meaningful sentences:
(i) money/ out of his hand/ snatched/ the/ was.
(ii) it/ a/ garden/ was/ lovely/ large/ and.

Answer 1

Hint: The structure of a sent is subject+verb+object. The subject is the doer of the verb and the focus of the sentence. The subject is often a noun. An article precedes the noun. We will follow the same pattern to rearrange the given words to form a meaningful sentence.

Complete answer:
Let us analyse both the sentences individually and rearrange them to form a meaningful sentence with the help of the above stated hint.
(i) money/ out of his hand/ snatched/ the/ was: If you look closely at this given group of words. You will identify the word ‘money’ as a noun, the word ‘snatched’ is a verb. The word ‘the’ is an article which will precede the noun according to the standard format of a sentence. If we analyse what was snatched, we will realise “the money was snatched”. “Out of his hand” becomes the object here. Therefore, the final sentence becomes

“The money was snatched out of his hand”.

(ii) it/ a/ garden/ was/ lovely/ large/ and: The word ‘garden’ is a noun. The words ‘lovely’ and ‘large’ are adjectives. These adjectives give us more information about the noun ‘garden’. The phrase becomes “large and lovely garden”. The pronoun ‘it’ refers to a subject and ‘was’ is the past tense of the verb ‘be’. Therefore, if we analyse how the garden was, we will conclude

“It was a large and lovely garden”.

Note: A sentence is a group of words that is arranged in a particular sequence to be meaningful. If the sequence of its containing words is not correct, a meaningful sentence is not formed. Example: She is a strong girl (correct). Strong is a girl (Incorrect).
