Expand:

1, abbreviation:

Abbreviated sentences remove the elements of modification, restriction and supplementary explanation from complex sentences, and keep the main elements without changing the main meaning of the sentences.

2. Matters needing attention in simple sentences:

Abbreviated sentences should retain the basic meaning of the original sentence, and the sentence pattern cannot be changed. For example, "My brother has a nice haircut". If it is abbreviated as "my brother is beautiful", it should be abbreviated as "beautiful hairstyle". It is wrong because it changes the original meaning of the sentence.

(2) Remove all the modifiers in the sentence, that is, the so-called branches and leaves, and try not to be a little, but a little. For example, "He told you a detailed story in great detail." It should be abbreviated as "the story he told." If it is abbreviated as "he told everyone what happened." Or "He told this story." All abbreviations are incomplete, incomplete and incorrect. But some special sentences can't delete all the "branches and leaves". For example, "My classmate Chen's mother turned out to be the sister of my neighbor Uncle Wang." It should be abbreviated as "Chen's mother is uncle Wang's sister." If it is abbreviated as "mother is sister", it will become a joke, so what kind of branches and leaves to remove depends on the content of the sentence.

(3) The negative words such as "no, nothing, nothing" in the sentence should be kept and not removed when the sentence is abbreviated, otherwise the original intention of the sentence may be reversed. For example, "I didn't find the bag containing the books in the house" should be abbreviated as "I didn't find the bag". If you remove "no", it will become "I found the bag", which is quite different from the original sentence. This is a big mistake.

④ The modal particles such as "zhe, le, guo" after the predicate and "ah, mo, ya, ni" after the object in the sentence should be kept. If removed, the sentence structure, structure, tone and emotion may be changed. For example, "the calm water suddenly ripples." It can be abbreviated as "water is rippling". Another example is "the heavy rain last night was really a timely rain!" It can be abbreviated as "this heavy rain is timely!" Only in this way can the original sentence and the abbreviated sentence be consistent in emotion and tone.

3. Steps to abbreviate sentences:

Read the original sentence carefully and understand the meaning of the sentence.

Find out the main part of the sentence "who" (what), "what" or "how" (subject, predicate and object) and delete the secondary parts (definite, form and complement).

(3) Check whether it is simplified to the simplest sentence and whether it retains the main meaning of the original sentence.
