Here, I will try to explain the structure part in
the TOEFL test. After looking for a reference, I will discuss5 of 20 materials that are
often out on the TOEFL test structure.
a. Basic Sentences stucture
In general, there was no significant
difference between the structure of English sentences withIndonesian, where a sentence is
built upon four main components, namely
——————————————————————————————————
Subject (S) + Verb (V) + Complement (C) + Modifier
(M)
——————————————————————————————————
In the Indonesian language, we are familiar with
this component + Subject + Verb + Object Specification
example:
We Studied grammar last week
We Studied grammar last week
We Studied + + grammar + last week
S + V + C + M
1. SUBJECT
• is the agent of the sentence in the active voice
(an agent of a sentence in the active form)
• is thing / person that performs or responsible for
the action of a sentence (object / person / company conducting or are
responsible for an action in a sentence)
• normally precedes the verb (usually precedes the
verb, or a verb after the subject there are usually * just wrote Kalee ...
example:
• I explain how to study English
• I explain how to study English
• She listens to my explanation
• They did not understand that language
The subject can be seen from the question who (whom)
or what (what) which acts on a sentence.
2. VERB
2. VERB
Verb is the action of a sentence (action or actions
in a sentence)
Verb phrase: auxilaries combination with the main
verb (main verb)
example:
• I am learning English (am = auxilary, learning = main verb)
• I am learning English (am = auxilary, learning = main verb)
• My brother is very clever
• She has gone home (has = auxilary, gone = main
verb)
• I have been waiting here (have been = auxilary,
waiting = main verb)
Every sentence must have a Verb
3. Complement
• Usually a noun (noun) or noun phrase (noun phrase)
• usually found after the verb in the active
sentence
• complement to answer the question what (what) or
who (Whom)
example:
• Sarijon bought a cake yesterday
• Sarijon bought a cake yesterday
o What did Sarijon buy yesterday? -> A cake.
• He saw Tony at the movies
o Whom did he see at the movies? -> Tony
• I explain to my students pharmacology
o What do I explain to my students? ->
Pharmacology
Note: Each sentence should not have a complement.
4. MODIFIER
• Modifier describes the time (time), place (where),
or the manner (how) of an action or actions
• The most common form of the modifier is a
propositional phrase (group of words that begins with
a preposition and ends with a noun
o Preposition = on, out, under, behind, etc ...
• Modifier answer questions when (when), where
(where), or how (how to)
example:
• John bought a book at a book fair
• John bought a book at a book fair
o Where did John buy a book? -> At a book fair
• She is driving very fast
o How is she driving? -> Very fast
• I posted my application yesterday
o When do I post my application? -> Yesterday
Example question:
1. _____ The Eiffel Tower Paris, France
a. landmarks
b. is a landmarked in
c. is a landmark in
d. is in a landmark
1. Young deer _______
a. are called fawns
b. Be fawns

1. A dream about falling ______
a. scary is
b. is scary
c. are scary
d. is very scary
1. Those beautiful flowers _____
a. is
b. Am
c. Are
d. Was
1. I _____ this blog on july 14th 2009
a. Launch
b. Launching
c. Launched
d. will launch
Answer
1. The Eiffel Tower is a landmark in Paris, France, as it follows the rules of English sentence, a sentence must have a subject and verb, in this case, The Eiffel Tower, is a single subject that requires to be a singular, which is. And the sentence requires a complement to the needs of the Modifier place, Paris, so the landmark serves as a noun and can not be used in verb form 2 & 3 have been replaced by the role of verbs to be, is.
1. Young deer
fawns is, because the subject is single so need to be to play a singular verbs
for the noun complements, fawns.
1. 3. A dream about falling is scary, because the subject, A dream, a single subject and needs to be singular verbs that act as complements to adjectives, scary.
1. 4. Those flowers are beautiful, because of the subject, those flower, is plural, then the words need to be in the plural.
1. 5. I Launched this blog on July 14th, 2009, because the sentence past tense form when seen from the time modifier, on July 14th, 2009, so the answer requires 2 verbs in the verb form for satisfying the rules of simple past tense, so the answer is Launched.
Parallel Structure
Parallelism means that the words used in a series or
group that should have the same form as grammar. When we use words or phrases
that are connected by a chain, then it must be the same shape as grammar.
Consider the following example:
* Terry likes swimming and to dive. (False - not
parallel)
* Terry likes swimming and diving. (True - parallel)
* Terry likes to swim and (to) dive. (True -
parallel)
* I'm taking history, math, and chemical. (False -
Chemical not a noun)
* I'm taking history, math, and chemistry
Sometimes the words are repeated as auxiliary verbs,
can be removed in the next series.
* I have been to Paris and saw the Eiffel Tower.
(False - should be seen PBUH)
* I have been to Paris and have seen the Eiffel
Tower. (True)
* I have been to Paris and seen the Eiffel Tower.
(True and better than an example to 2)
* Is she coming to the party or go to a movie?
(Wrong)
* Is she coming to the party or going to a movie?
(True)
Example question
Identify and correct the mistakes in the parallel
structure in the following sentences
1. I swept the yard, weeded the garden and .... the clothes.
1. I swept the yard, weeded the garden and .... the clothes.
a. was washing
b. Wash
c. Washed
d. Washing
1. James Decided to get up early, practice some yoga
and .... healthy foods.
a. Eat
b. Ate
c. Eating
d. Eaten
1. Although I trained hard, practiced every day and
...... to my trainer, I've never won a tournament.
a. Listening
b. were listening
c. was listening
d. Listened
1. I wish he would listen to me, take my advice and ...... smoking.
a. stop
b. Stopped
c. to stop
d. Stopping
1. He is an articulate, intelligent and ..... speaker.
a. Thoughtfully
b. was thought
c. Thoughtful
d. were thoughtful
Answer
1. I swept the yard, weeded the garden and washed the clothes, because the sentences using the simple past tense using third without Auxiliary verb, so the word verb wash should also use third without Auxiliary.
1. I swept the yard, weeded the garden and washed the clothes, because the sentences using the simple past tense using third without Auxiliary verb, so the word verb wash should also use third without Auxiliary.
1. James Decided to get up early, practice some yoga
and eat healthy foods, as said before practice using verb 1 so that the
parallel pair should use the verb 1 one also eat.
1. Although I trained hard, practiced every day and
listened to my trainer, I've never won a tournament, because the sentences
using the simple past tense using the verb 3, the parallels should also use the
verb 3.
1. I wish he would listen to me, take my advice and
stop smoking, take my advice because a sentence using the verb 1 to take the
word, and without to be, then the parallels should use the verb 1 also stop,
without to be.
1. He is an articulate, intelligent and thoughtful
speaker, because all the adjectives mentioned were single, then selected is
thoughtful.
Comparative Adjectives
When talking about the two objects, we can compare
and see the differences as well similarities between the two objects. Maybe it
has the same thing on one side and the difference on the other side. To compare
the difference between the two objects we use comparative adjectives.
Comparison is only using comparative adjectives to compare between two objects
only.
There are two ways to create a comparative adjectives:
1. Adding the suffix-er (short adjectives)
2. Adding more prefix (long adjectives)
Addition of a suffix rule for short adjectives:
- Generally only added adjective-er, for example:
older, smaller, richer, etc.
- If the ending-e, just add r, for example: later,
nicer, etc..
- If the ending in a consonant-vowel-consonant, the
final consonant plus, then plus-er, for example: bigger, hotter, etc.
- If the ending-y, then y changed to i then added
er, for example: happier, Earlier, busier, heavier, etc.
For long adjectives, the rule only adds more words only on adjectives, for example: expensive to be more expensive, more beautiful to be beautiful, and so on.
Some adjectives have irregular shapes, such as good
- better, well (healthy) - better, bad - worse, far - farther / further, etc.
Adjectives with two syllables can use-er or more: quiet - quieter / more quiet, clever - cleverer / more clever, narrow - narrower / more narrow, simple - Simpler / more simple.
Comparative adjectives are not only used to compare
two different objects, but can also be used to compare the same object that
points to itself, and the object is not to say, as one example sentence above:
I want to have a more powerful computer.
Adjectives with one syllable
To make the comparative form of an adjective with
one syllable, we add-er to the adjective, for example:
• slow – slower
• fast – faster
• tall – taller
• short – shorter
To make a comparison of an adjective with one syllable and ends with the letter-e, we simply add-r. Example:
• nice – nicer
• large – larger
If adjectives with one syllable ending with vowels and consonants, then we double the consonant. Example:
• - big – bigger
• hot – hotter
• thin – thinner
Adjectives with two syllables
If the adjective has two or more syllables, we add
more before the adjective. Example:
• This book is more expensive than that book.
• This picture is more beautiful.
However, there are many exceptions to the rule of one / two syllables it.
Some words with 2 syllables have properties similar
to words that have 1 syllable. Example:
• This is Easier – True
• This is more easy - not really
• This is Simpler – True
• This is more simple - not true
And some adjectives can use both comparative form.
Example:
- Clever - cleverer - more clever: These are all
correct
- Quiet - quieter - more quiet: These are all
correct.
No exceptions can be learned through the rules, the best way to learn is to learn it one by one.

1. This newspaper is ________ than that newspaper.
a. more good
b. most good
c. Gooder
d. Better
Answer
1. The Nile river is longer than the Amazon, due to the nature of the required sentence consists of only one syllable, and only comparing two objects.
1. The Nile river is longer than the Amazon, due to the nature of the required sentence consists of only one syllable, and only comparing two objects.
1. 2. I'm taller than Yuri but shorter than
Michael, because of the nature of the required line is just made up of one
syllable and just compare 2 objects.
1. 3. They're more handsome than us, but we're
smarter than them, because it takes the first adjective phrase consists of two
syllables, while the second adjective only consists of one syllable and just
compare the two objects.
1. 4. This book bag is more expensive than that bag,
because of the nature of the required sentence is composed of two syllables and
just compare the two objects.
1. 5. This newspaper is better than that newspaper,
said the sentence required properties are the adjectives that have irregular
shapes change as bad to worse, became much more, a further far, so good be a
better adjective.
Conditional Clauses
Conditional (sentence presupposition) explains that
an activity contrary to other activities. The most common conditional is Real
and Unreal Conditonal Conditonal, sometimes called if-clauses. Real Conditional
(often also referred to as Conditional Type I) which describes mengandai-if in
accordance with the facts.
Unreal Conditional (often also referred to as Conditional Type II) which describes the supposition that no real or imagined. There is also a 3rd Conditional often called the Conditional Type III, is used as a regret that happened in the past and zero conditionals, used to express something that is definitely true.
Note: If the clause "if" is placed at the beginning of a sentence, we must use the "coma". Conversely, if the clause "if" is behind, then there should be no comma
Conditional or modality has 3 forms:
1. Future Conditional (Conditional Type 1)
This assumption states that something might happen
in the future or now, if the terms / certain conditions are met.
Type 1 Conditional formula:
+ Subject + If + subject + present simple modals
(will, can, may, must) V1 (simple form)
example: If have money I will buy a new car
Simple If + Subject + ... + subject + present
simple-present
example: If he has enough time, John usually walks
to school.
If + Subject + ... + command simple present form
example: If you go to the post office, please mail this letter for me!
2. Unreal Present (Conditional Type 2)
This assumption states something contrary to what
exists or happens now.
+ If + subject + subject + simple past modals
(would, could, might) V1 (Simple Form)
example: If I had time, I would go to the beach with
you this weekend
(I do not have time so I could not go)
(I do not have time so I could not go)
He would tell you about it if he were here
(He would say if he were here, that because she's
not here, he did not say / Because he is not here he does not tell you about
it.)
* For the if-clause in this form only to be "were" is used for all subjects.
if the conditional type 2 can be removed is by using
pattern inversion:
Were + subject + Adj / Noun + capital + subject
(would, could, might) + V1
example: Were I John I would not forgive you.
(If only I was the john I will not forgive you, in
fact I not john so I forgive you / I'm not John so I forgive you).
He could hug me, if he were here. (She may hug me,
if he's here). The fact is: he can not hug me, Because, he is not here.
3. Unreal Past (Conditional Type 3)
This assumption states something contrary to what
has happened (past).
Type 3 Conditional formula:
Type 3 Conditional formula:
+ If + Subject + Past Perfect ... subject modals
(would, could, might) have + V3
example:
example:
1. If we had
known that you were there, we would have written you a letter.
(If only we knew you were there, we had sent a letter to you;
(If only we knew you were there, we had sent a letter to you;
which means that we do not send the letter because
we do not know you're there / I did not know that you were there so I did not
write you a letter.
2. He would tell you about it if he were here.
3. If he did not speak so quickly intervening, you
could understand him.
Form inversion (without the "IF") for this
pattern:
Had + subject + subject + V3 ... modals (would,
could, might) have + V3
inverse sentence above when written into:
inverse sentence above when written into:
Had we known that you were there, we would have
written you a letter.
without changing the meaning or significance.
without changing the meaning or significance.
Example Problem:
1. If it _____ so cloudy, we would plan on having
the fair outside
a. Was
b. was not x
c. were not
d. had not
1. If she ______ her to advance the clock one hour,
she would not have been late for work
a. should have remembered
b. could remembered
c. Remembered
d. would have remembered x
1. If I were rich, I ______ to Canada to learn
English.
a. will go
b. would go
c. will to go
d. would have go
1. You should pass this exam _____ _____ _____ if
you have Studied
a. easy, easily, hardly
b. ease, easy, hard
c. Easily, easy, hard
d. easy, easily, hard
Answer:
1. 1. If it was not so cloudy, we would plan on having the fair outside, because the parent sentence using the V1, so this conditional sentence should use the type 2 and thus require simple past tenses.
1. 2. If she would have remembered her to
advance the clock one hour, she would not have been late for work, because the
main clause uses V3, been, then the conditional sentence must use a type 3 so
need past perfect tenses as an answer.
1. 3. If I were rich, I would go to Canada to learn English, because it is unreal conditional (conditional sentence) type 1, which is in fact in the present tense, which is: I am not rich, so I do not / will not go to Canada to learn English. Thus, the correct option is "would go".
1. 3. If I were rich, I would go to Canada to learn English, because it is unreal conditional (conditional sentence) type 1, which is in fact in the present tense, which is: I am not rich, so I do not / will not go to Canada to learn English. Thus, the correct option is "would go".
1. 4. You should pass this exam Easily easy if
you have Studied hard, because the consecutive sentences require adjective,
adverb, and an adverb. Adverb form of the adjective "hard" is
"hard". The word "hardly" is an adverb, but the meaning is
"almost never" = "almost never", which does not fit the
context of this sentence.
Noun Clauses
Noun clause is a clause (ie subject and verb) is
used as a noun. Noun clause in the sentence is generally used as a subject and
an object sentences.
Noun clause can be preceded by:
• Question word or relative pronoun question either
single word or phrase:
o Single question word (ie when, how, what, ect.).
o Question word + determiner / noun / adjective /
adverb.
o Question word + infinitive.
• CONJUNCTION (i.e. Whether and if).
• That or the fact that.
So the pattern of the noun clause is:
Question word / conjunction / that + subject + verb
+ ...
A. Noun clauses beginning with the words Question
How to Address Questions in've discussed about the
use of the word good in making the information asked questions and in making
embedded questions. Embedded questions are noun clause. In this section are
given additional examples to refresh your memory.
1. Single question words.
Example:
1. Where she is now is still unknown.
1. Where she is now is still unknown.
2. When they arrive is still uncertain.
3. I know what you did last summer and I still know what
you did last summer are two Hollywood movies starred by Jennifer Love Hewitt.
Note: in this sentence, noun clause what you did last summer became the object
of I know and I still know, and once combined with: are two Hollywood movies
starred by Jennifer Love Hewitt, a compound subject of the sentence.
Noun clause can be placed at the beginning of the
sentence (as subject) or as an object. If you want to change the position of
the subject noun clause object sentence into a sentence, it is usually necessary
pronoun or a slight modification of the word. The above example becomes:
1. It is still unknown where she is now.
2. Do you know when they arrive?
3. Two Hollywood movies starred by Jennifer Love
Hewitt are I know what you did last summer and I still know what you did last
summer. Because the title of movies, noun clause what you did last summer does
not need to be rotated position.
Note:
a) Clause question preceded by certain words (ie when, Whenever, where) can also function as an adverbial clause.
Note:
a) Clause question preceded by certain words (ie when, Whenever, where) can also function as an adverbial clause.
Example:
1. I was reading a book when the phone rang.
1. I was reading a book when the phone rang.
2. I went to where I and my ex-girlfriend had been
last weekend.
3. Suddenly I get nausea Whenever I see his face.
(Nausea = nausea / vomiting willing).
b). Clause is preceded by the words specific
question (ie who, Whom, Whose + noun) can also function as an adjective clause.
In this case, the question is actually a relative pronoun. Well, do not be too
confused by the term. Important that you understand the pattern / structure of
the sentence. But, if you are curious, please read the adjective clauses topic.
Example:
1. I think you Whom Mr. Dodi was looking for. (I guess you (people) who pack Dodi were looking for earlier).
1. I think you Whom Mr. Dodi was looking for. (I guess you (people) who pack Dodi were looking for earlier).
2. Mr. Dodi, who is a teacher, was looking for you
at school.
3. Rommy, Whose book was stolen last week, just
bought another new book yesterday.
So, how to tell if the noun clause, adverbial
clause, or adjective clause? The answer is simple. Noun clause can be replaced
by the pronoun it, while the adverbial clause and adjective clause no. Noun
clause answers the question what and who / Whom; adverbial clause answering
questions when, where, how (including how much, how often, ect), and why.
Adjective clause (ie in the form of an adjective clause) describes noun, and
relative pronounnya (ie who, that, ect.) In Indonesian means "the".
Question words + ever / soever
Except how, at the end of question words can be
added ever or soever Whenever = whensoever, whatever = whatsoever, and so on. Meaning
here ever or soever the same, ie only / no, stay combined with a question word
in front of him. Meanwhile, how + ever be however (ie adverb or also called a
transition word meaning yet / even if it is) is not included in this category.
Example:
1. We will accept whatever you want us to do. (We
will accept / do whatever you want us to do).
2. Whoever can melt her feeling is a very lucky guy.
(Melt = melt). Be careful: guy (pronounced gae) = men, while gay (read gei) =
fag = fag.
3. She has agreed to wherever the man would bring
her. (He has agreed to take him wherever he goes). Note: in speaking
(informal), preposition (in this case to, etc.) Is usually placed at the end of
the sentence. She has agreed wherever the man would bring her to.
Question nouns + words
Question words + nouns are often used, among others:
what time (time), what day (what day), what time (time), what kind (what kind),
what type (what type), Whose + nouns (ie Whose car, Whose book, ect.), and so
on.
Example:
1. I can not remember what day we will take the
exam.
2. As long as I am faithful, she does not care what
type of family I come from. (Faithful = loyal).
3. Do you know what time it is?
4. I do not know Whose car is parked in front of my
house.
Question adjectives + words
+ Question words are frequently used adjectives such
as: how long (how long / long), how far (how much), how old (how old / Age),
ect.
Example:
1. Man! She still looks young. Do you know how old
she actually is?
2. I am lost. Could you tell me how far it is from here to the post office?
3. What a jerk. He did not even ask how long I had been waiting for him.
2. I am lost. Could you tell me how far it is from here to the post office?
3. What a jerk. He did not even ask how long I had been waiting for him.
Question words + determiners
Determiners + Question words often used is: how many (how many) and how much (how many). Remember: how many followed by plural nouns, whereas how much followed by uncountable nouns.
Example:
1. Is there any correlation between how good he or she is in English and how many books he or she has?
1. Is there any correlation between how good he or she is in English and how many books he or she has?
2. How much will improve your English skills is
determined by how hard you practice.
Question words + adverbs
+ Question words are frequently used adverbs are:
how Often (how often), how many times (how many times) ect.
Example:
1. Often no matter how I practice, my English still sucks. (No matter how many times I practice, my english is bad). Suck (informal verb) = bad / not good; suck another meaning: suck.
1. Often no matter how I practice, my English still sucks. (No matter how many times I practice, my english is bad). Suck (informal verb) = bad / not good; suck another meaning: suck.
2. I do not want my parents to know how many times I
have left school early. (Leave school early = absent).
Question words + infinitives
If the question words immediately followed by
infinitives, the invinitives implies shouldatau can / could. Note that the
subject after question words omitted.
Example:
1. She did not know what to do = She did not know what she should do. (He does not know what he should do).
1. She did not know what to do = She did not know what she should do. (He does not know what he should do).
2. Please tell me how to get the train station from
here = Please tell me how I can get the train station from here.
3. We have not Decided when to go to the beach = We
have not Decided when we should go to the beach.
4. Mary told us where to find her = Marry told us
where we could find her.
Noun clauses beginning with Whether / if
Whether can be followed by OR / NOT can not; meaning
of the sentence is usually the same although the OR / NOT is not mentioned (it
depends on the context of the sentence).
Example:
1. Whether I am not sure she is coming or not = I am not sure Whether or not she is coming = I am not sure Whether she is coming. (I'm not sure whether he will come or not).
1. Whether I am not sure she is coming or not = I am not sure Whether or not she is coming = I am not sure Whether she is coming. (I'm not sure whether he will come or not).
2. We can not decide Whether we should go out or
stay home. = We can not decide Whether to go or (to) stay home. Note,
infinitives can also be used after Whether.
3. Whether I am not sure I should take economics or law after I graduate from high school. (I'm not sure if I should take some Economic Law after graduating from high school or later).
3. Whether I am not sure I should take economics or law after I graduate from high school. (I'm not sure if I should take some Economic Law after graduating from high school or later).
4. If you take economics, I will take economics. On
the other hand, if you take law, I will take law too.
Noun clauses beginning with that / the fact that
Here, that means that, while the fact that means the
fact that. Whereas, that in adjective clauses mean that.
Example:
1. That she has had a PhD degree at the age of 20 surprises a lot of people = It surprises a lot of people that she has had a PhD degree at the age of 20.
2. It is the fact that the world is round = the fact that the world is round is well known.
3. It was obvious that she was very sick = The fact that she was very sick was obvious.
4. It seems that it is going to rain soon.
1. That she has had a PhD degree at the age of 20 surprises a lot of people = It surprises a lot of people that she has had a PhD degree at the age of 20.
2. It is the fact that the world is round = the fact that the world is round is well known.
3. It was obvious that she was very sick = The fact that she was very sick was obvious.
4. It seems that it is going to rain soon.
Example Problem:
1. The teacher heard who answered the question. (C)
Analysis:
• The first sentence "The teacher heard"
is true because the subject teacher and heard verbnya. The second sentence
"Who answered the phoned" is also true because who serves as a
subject and answered as verbnya. Who at the same time also serves as connetor.
• So the above sentence is correct.
