1.3 The simple sentence: direct and indirect objects1.3C The two meanings of 'for' [>LEG 1.13.3]Study:E31 We can use for after all verbs which have two objects [> 1 .ЗА].2 When we use for after verbs normally followed by to (give, post, read, sell, show, tell, etc.) it canmean 'instead of: I'll post it for you. (= to save you the trouble)3 When we use for after verbs normally followed by for (buy, choose, do, find, keep, order, etc.)the meaning depends on the context. It can mean 'for someone's benefit':Mother cooked a lovely meal for me. (= for my benefit, for me to enjoy)It can mean 'on someone's behalf/instead of:I'll cook the dinner for you. (on your behalf/instead of you - to save you the trouble)Write:Tick (•) to show whether for means 'instead of you/me' or 'for your/my benefit'.1 I've cooked a meal for you and I hope you enjoy it.2 Let me cook the dinner for you this evening. - Thanks!3 I've made this cake for you. Do you like it?4 I'll post this letter for you, shall I?5 I've bought this especially for you.6 I've got some change. Let me pay the bill for you.7 As you're busy, let me book a room for you.8 I've saved some of this pudding for you.9 I can't choose a tie myself. Please choose one for me.10 My father has bought a wonderful present for me.'instead of'for your/my benefit'1.3D ContextWrite:Put a tick (•) where you think you can change the word order.A CURE FOR HYSTERIAWhen I was a girl, my parents sent me to a very strict school. They had to buy an expensive uniformformeV and pay school fees forme 2 . Our headmistress, Miss Prim, never smiled. She explainedthe school rules to, us 3 and expected us to obey them. 'I will never say anything to you 4 twice,'she used to say. We had to write a letter to our parents 5 once a week and show it to Miss Prim 6before we sent it. I can still remember some of the school rules. We were not allowed to lend anythingto anyone 7 . We were not allowed to give each other help 8 with homework. We had to reportunusual situations to the headmistress 9 . One morning, during assembly, a girl fainted. The nextmorning, two more fainted. This continued to happen for several mornings. Mass hysteria had set in!But Miss Prim put an end to it. She announced a new rule to us 10 : 'No girl will faint in College!'And after that, no one did!No girl will faint in College!7
1 The sentence1.4 The compound sentence1.4A The form of a compound sentence [> LEG I 17-20]1 When we join two or more simple sentences [> 1.2A], we make a compound sentence:Tom phoned. He left a message. -> Tom phoned and left a message.2 The name we give to 'joining words' is conjunctions.These are the conjunctions we use to make compound sentences:and, and then, but, for, nor, or, so, yet;either... or; neither... nor...; not only... but... (also/as well/too).3 We can use conjunctions to show, for example:-addition (and)-.He washed the car and polished it.- continuation (and then): He washed the car and then polished it.- contrast (but, yet): She sold her house, but/yet (she) can't help regretting it.- choice (or):You can park your car on the drive or on the road.- result (so):He couldn't find his pen, so he wrote in pencil. .- reason (for):We rarely stay in hotels, for we can't afford it.4 We do not usually put a comma in front of and, but we often use one in front of otherconjunctions: He washed the car and polished it. (no comma before and)Compare: He washed the car, but didn't polish it. (comma befqre but)5 We keèp to the basic word order in a compound sentence [> 1.1 A, 1.2C]:subject verb object conjunction subject verb complementJimmy fell off his bike, but (he) was unhurt.6 When the subject is the same in all parts of the sentence, we do not usually repeat it:same subject: Tom phoned. He left a message. -» Tom phoned and (he) left a message.different subjects: Tom phoned. Frank answered. -» Tom phoned and Frank answered.7 We usually repeat the subject after so: He couldn't find his pen, so he wrote in pencil.8 We always have to repeat the subject after for. For is more usual in the written language and wecannot use it to begin a sentence [compare > 1.9A]:We rarely stay at hotels, for we can't afford it.Write 1 :Compound sentences with the same subjectJoin these simple sentences to make compound sentences. Use the words in brackets.1 I took the shoes back to the shop^ I complained about them, (and)I toxHt the, sJw&s Jnwi. to th& ^hop and, œmfilç^2 Your mother phoned this morning. She didn't leave a message, (but)3 I can leave now. I can stay for another hour. (I can either... or)4 Jim built his own house. He designed it himself. (Jim not only ... but... as well)5 I don't know what happened to him. I don't care. (I neither... nor)6 My new assistant can type very well. He hasn't much experience with computers, (but)8
