Expanding the Subject - Lesson 12 (23 May 2023)

 Expanding the Subject of a sentence creatively

A sentence in English starts with a subject which consists of people, animals or places. A subject can be as simple as; Ali, Aisyah, The boy, That lady, My father, His cousin and as such.

For adults like us, we may need to expand the subject according to our needs, for example;

a) Ali, who is our group leader

b) My new sales assistant, Aisyah

c) That lady in the pink blouse

We may need to expand the subject to include details, for example;

a) The weather forecast (basic subject)

    The weather forecast released by the National Meteorological Department

b) A pair of kangaroos

    A pair of great red kangaroos, the iconic Australian marsupials

c) The Petronas-Sauber F1 team

    The Petronas-Sauber F1 team which was  scheduled to participate in the Le Mans October       Grand Prix

Now, let's expand the subjects below;

a) My brother

b) The dry season

c) Malaysian contingent
