Document Summary
These three levels are really three areas on a continuum; an essay will often move back and forth between them, as the situation dictates. Just be able to recognize these different registers of writing and sense what the author is trying to communicate through writing plainly, informally, or in a sophisticated fashion. A simple style is one with straightforward sentences and simple words. When my father was in sunday school, he won a contest by correctly identifying. The shortest sentence in the bible: jesus wept. This example reveals the basic structure of the english sentence: subject verb. In the case of transitive verbs, or verbs that deliver an action to the object or recipient of that action, the sentence structure becomes svo, or subject verb object. This object can be either direct or indirect: in i eat broccoli, broccoli is the direct object, in that it is what i eat.
