WORDS
AINIEL ASHMIERA BINTI ZABIDI
In Miera’s opinion a word is a form of combination or compilation of alphabets. It is a
smallest form of text as the morphemes are also considered as a word. A word also can be
identified as it is commonly conveyed without a space between the alphabets.
LUQMANUL HAKIM BIN ZOLCEFLI
Luqman on the other hand thinks that words are like these gears which when put together,
they can carry out a meaning. Words play a huge role in creating a sentence or heck even
with clauses or phrases they are these main things that convey the message whether when
speaking and writing because words can stand on their own. For example, box. When
someone says box or write a box, you know they are referring to something that can hold
stuff in it so to say a [box].
My response
I agree with both the aforementioned opinions. To add to what they’ve said I strongly believe
that words are our most effective means of communication. Without them we’d be reduced to
being gormless oafs who rely on pointing and grunting to relay our thoughts. This invention
was a boon for all of mankind to relish and has evolved tremendously over last 1000 years.
PHRASES
LUKE TEOH RONG GUANG
In Luke’s opinion, according to Collins Online Dictionary phrases can be defined as a short
group of words that people often use as a way of saying something. In his opinion phrases are
small units of words that will eventually merge to form clauses. He states that there are 3
main types of phrases, noun phrases, verb phrases and prepositional phrases.
My Response
I couldn’t agree more, owing to the fact that his sources are credible and trustworthy. I am of
the opinion that a phrase is unique in the sense that it is the bridge between a sentence and a
word.
My Response
I thoroughly agree with Aishah’s sentiment. First of all, a phrase is obviously more complex
than a word but less complex than a sentence. I can attest to the veracity of her definition
seeing as how her sources are quite credible.
SENTENCES
MUHAMMAD SETIAWAN NST BIN NOMAN FURWANTO
My friend Setiawan is convinced that a sentence relies on smaller units namely clauses,
phrases and words. A sentence is, in a way an all-rounder of the smaller units which are
properly constructed using grammar rules to deliver the correct and precise message to
readers that cannot be achieved by using the lesser units.
My Response
I agree with Setiawan for the most part but what he said about sentences being used to
convey a more precise message rubs me the wrong way. By utilising the right words, you’d
be able to convey your thoughts clearly with a phrase. Having said that, I must concede that
under most circumstances it is better to use sentences instead of phrases to convey your
thoughts.
My Response
I agree with what Aishah says about a sentence being the largest grammatical unit. This fact
is often overlooked by language learners and speakers alike. Aside from that, punctuation is
very important in constructing sentences. A single exclamation mark can alter the tone and
message of the sentence completely.
