Based on the differences between the simple sentence, compound sentence, and complex sentence, students analyse different sentences and texts and thus acquire a deeper knowledge of the syntactic structure of the English language. When required, any more problematic areas from English syntax, such as modal verbs, complex condensation, can be included in the course syllabus.
