Sentence examples for active sentences from inspiring English sources

We used a blocked design functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study to examine brain activations during processing of three types of Chinese sentences: active sentences, passive sentences, and general declarative sentences in native Chinese speakers.

The therapy attempted to link this awareness to language expressions in order to enhance his understanding of canonical active sentences.

Baudson and Preckel (2016) came up with 64 affirmative, negative, passive, and active sentences describing the proximity of the circle and square to the triangle.

The patients made between 0 and 16 (out of 34) reverse role errors, most of which were on passive sentences (mean = 8.9; SD = 8.9) and few in active sentences (mean = 3.3, SD = 3.9).

The sentences were all 'semantically reversible' in that either actor in the sentence could perform the action, and also varied in syntactic complexity (active sentences as well as a variety of complex constructions such as centre embedded and passive).

Use active sentences.

For example, transformational grammar relates the active sentence "John read the book" with its corresponding passive, "The book was read by John".

In its crudest form, the notion is that an active sentence ("John loved Mary") and a passive sentence ("Mary was loved by John") might seem superficially different; yet they have some important underlying commonality, both in meaning and in their representation in the brain.

If the feature is positive, the agent (ag) selects DP in an active sentence.

The Passive transformation described in Chomsky 1957 112, for instance, specifies how to turn an active sentence (/phrasemarker) into a passive one.

As the simple active sentence structure is not central to the hypotheses of the experiment, only the conditions involving a relative clause structure (SS and SO) were included in the ANOVA, resulting in a 2 × 2 factorial design.
