The following grammar forms can be useful in descriptive writing

ADJECTIVES בעברית מילים אלו נקראות: תואר השם. ההבדל העיקרי בין עברית לאנגלית: בעברית תואר השם בדר"כ מופיע אחרי שם העצם שאותו הוא מתאר ובאנגלית הוא בא לפניו. דוגמא: Margaret is a famous Canadian writer Suggested adjectives interesting, talented, sociable, likeable, intelligent, approachable, businesslike, humble, practical, smart, a good mixer, a sport, energetic, modest, self-confident, ambitious, easy-going

different connectors for different purposes מילות קישור שמקשרות בין רעיונות שונים בתוך המשפט, בין שני משפטים או בין שתי פסקאות Contrast: although, however, even though Addition: moreover, in addition Examples: for example, such as Sequence of events: first, in conclusion Result or consequence: consequently, therefore, as a result different connectors for different purposes

Notice: the indirect speech is an advanced structure בעברית, אין שינוי בזמנים והשינויים שנעשים מדיבור ישיר לעקיף הם בכינויי הגוף ובתאורי הזמן והמקום בלבד. באנגלית, יש שינוי גם בזמנים: נשנה את הזמנים שבהם כתוב המידע המדווח לזמן אחד מוקדם יותר For example: “we will send the contract tomorrow” she said She said they would send the contract the following day ניתן לגוון את כתיבתכם באנגלית על ידי שימוש בפעלי אמירה כגון: *explain * mention * insist * tell * promise * inform * answer * remark * announce * wonder

Notice: the relative clauses are an advanced structure ה- relative clause הוא פסוקית (נושא ופועל) בתוך משפט, המתחילים במילים which, that, where, when, who, whom, whose ומטרתה להוסיף מידע על שם העצם שבא לפניה או על חלקו הראשון של המשפט. בעברית ניתן להשתמש ב"ש". For example: The man whose paintings are exquisite won’t sell them. The play, which was produced on a low budget, is outstanding

Gerunds Present Perfect Past Perfect Don’t forget also to use more advanced structures such as: Gerunds Present Perfect Past Perfect You must use at least five advanced structures in your writing!

WHAT ABOUT THE BASIC TENSES? ... You might ask In descriptive writing the simple tenses are more useful so make sure you know how to use the Present Simple or Past Simple

Good luck in your writing ENJOY YOUR WORK
