Abstract
Many teachers of English Language in Singapore have complained to me that they are unsure about many of the grammatical items which they themselves are required to teach.
Although there are numerous grammar books on the market today, my experience is that teachers rarely refer to these. Perhaps teachers feel they are too complex. Moreover they may feel that the book concentrates merely on classifying and labelling syntactic structures without clearly bringing out the uses of the structures together with examples.
The aim of this article is to remedy this situation; firstly to simplify wherever possible and secondly to indicate the major
uses of the structures together with examples.
