Explanation Text

 Explanation Text Definition An explanation text tells your audience how something works or why something happens. Explanations detail and logically describe the stages in a process, such as the water cycle, or how a steam engine works. Other examples could be how a law is made, or why we blink when we sneeze. There are three types of explanations. Sequential – These detail the stages in an event eg: how a caterpillar turns into a moth. Causal - Details what causes the change from one stage to the next ie: How a president is elected. Theoretical - Details the possible phenomena behind a natural or created process that is not fully understood. eg What caused the Nazi's to lose World War II.

Cause and Effect

Cause and Effect Definition Cause and effect is a relationship between events or things, where one is the result of the other or others. This is a combination of action and reaction. The purpose of the cause-and-effect essay is to determine how various phenomena relate in terms of origins and results. Sometimes the connection between cause and effect is clear, but often determining the exact relationship between the two is very difficult. For example, the following effects of a cold may be easily identifiable: a sore throat, runny nose, and a cough. But determining the cause of the sickness can be far more difficult. A number of causes are possible, and to complicate matters, these possible causes could have combined to cause the sickness. That is, more than one cause may be responsible for any given effect. Therefore, cause-and-effect discussions are often complicated and frequently lead to debates and arguments. Structure The cause-and-effect essay opens with a general introduction t...

2021: A plan, a hope, and a wishes

Image
2020, a year that we expected as an opening of something new, a fresh start for some people who try to move on with their life or started again for some people but in reality, NO..... to most people 2020 was a series of disaster and misfortune, either loss of loved ones or the financial by the pandemic destroying their plan whether it has been running or not. well, to be honest, I didn't make much planning for this year. For most of my plan this year was a continuation from last year, I just could say common things like "I planned to improve myself to a better person".etc. but honestly, even though I've felt this year would be better than last year. if you ask me what my hope is I think it'll be the same to a whole lot of people, the pandemic ends sooner than we expected, and those who lose their loved ones given fortitude.  P.S. lets just hoped this didn't happen xD

Type 0 There are four types of conditional sentences with each one of them has its own usability. Today we'll discuss the first type of it. TYPE 0 CONDITIONAL SENTENCE   Definition sentence type 0 or zero conditional is a conditional sentence whose result is a general truth or fact, and can also express a habit. As with other conditional sentence types, what is meant by conditional is a condition, which will create a result, and the result is what will later state a general truth/fact or habit of that condition. so it can be said that the usage of zero conditional sentences is to express general truths Formula If + simple present, simple present Simple present + if + simple present. Example: A. If it rains, the grass gets wet B. The grass gets wet if it rains

Passive Voice

 Passive Voice Definition Passive voice is a grammatical construction (grammatical form) in which the subject sentence does not take action, but instead receives the action (as a receiver of the action ). The action is followed up by another agent (as a doer of the action ) who can be mentioned or not. In contrast to the active voice, the subject is directly related to the verb by acting as the actor of the action. Active sentences may be changed to passive, especially active sentences that use a transitive verb (need to be followed by a direct object). Function In the English language, the passive voice is a sentence whose function is often underestimated. In fact, there are several functions of the passive voice that are crucial and cannot be replaced by the active voice. If you use active when passive is needed, you gonna embarrass yourself! You can see more about the passive voice function as follows. To explain sentences where a subject is an inanimate object The pa...
