Use the following sets of words/phrases to make meaningful sentences: a) quickly – the thief – run away – seeing – the police b) to – the market – every morning – he – goes c) the book – very interesting – I – find – yesterday

Answer

a) Seeing the police, the thief quickly ran away. b) He goes to the market every morning. c) I found the book very interesting yesterday.


Model Answer:

a) The thief ran away quickly when he saw the police. (This sentence is grammatically correct and logically connects the actions.)

b) Every morning, he goes to the market. (The adverbial phrase "every morning" is placed at the beginning for emphasis.)

c) Yesterday, I found the book very interesting. (The adverbial phrase "yesterday" is placed at the beginning, and "very interesting" correctly modifies "book.")


Alternative Sentences (for variety): a) On seeing the police, the thief quickly ran away. b) He goes to the market every morning without fail. c) The book that I found yesterday was very interesting.


Key Points:

  • Word order is adjusted for natural flow (e.g., adverbs like quickly or very placed before the verb or adjective they modify).
  • Tenses are consistent (ran for past, goes for present habit, found for past).
  • Conjunctions (when, that) are used where needed for clarity.
