Enter a sentence which shows one of the 11 basic forms. This sentence can be:
your sentence, or a discovered sentence |
Read the following explanations of the Single Sentence Submit Page:

STEPS
- Pick the nation of the writer of the sentence
- Write the name of the writer of the sentence
- Pick the level of the writer (A= amateur or apprentice or student, P = professional or published). If you don't know for sure, make a guess.
- Try to indicate the English exposure or background of the writer (from lifelong or major to minimal)
- Pick the sentence number and code which is in the sentence you are submitting
- Pick the topic or category which best fits the sentence
- Write the sentence that you have written or discovered
- This box is for such things as source, class tag, or credit tag. If you are entering a discovered sentence, where did you find it? In what book or magazine? Or, what is your 2HA class session code? If you are entering a discovered sentence, you can edit a finder's credit tag here [your name].
- Look over everything and then press the Send It In!button. You will be asked to check it once again - with an option to come back and correct it - before finally submitting it. If you change your mind, you can press "Reset/Clear" to clear the whole form.

Enter a sentence which shows one of the 11 basic forms. This sentence can be:
your sentence, or a discovered sentence |
Read the following instructions for the Single-Form Sentence Browse Page:

BROWSE OPTION 1- - find the sentence according to type, topic,…
- Here, you decide the selection criteria for the sentences you want to look at. You do not have to pick something from every picklist. If you want to view sentences on a certain topic, pick from the Topic picklist. If you want to view sentences written by writers having more or less proficiency, pick from the Level picklist. If you want to want to view sentences according to a certain amount of English Exposure, pick the amount of exposure you want. Or, you can also pick a specific Writer Nation if you want to narrow the search. Merit refers to the "evaluation" of the sentences by the Website Administrators or your 2HA Instructor. The blue flag
means that the sentence has not been checked yet; the green check means that the sentence is satisfactory; the black star refers to sentences showing a better mastery of the form, and the red star shows sentences of an excellent caliber.
- Decide which of the eleven forms you want to look at. You can pick an individual form, such as 3.4 or 7.2, or - if you scroll to the bottom of the picklist - you will see "all", such as "3 | all" or "7 | all". Pick all if you want to see all the sentences of one form type, such as all the 2S sentences, all the 4C sentences, all the 7AC sentences.
The above two steps will pick the sentence records from the database. This step will let you decide in what order you want to see the results. This is called the sort order. By clicking on the appropriate radio button, you will be able to sort the sentences according to your preference. If there is a type of sort that is not there, please contact us and suggest it.
BROWSE OPTION 2- find the sentences by a certain writer
- Enter the name of the writer whose sentences you want to read. You must put the exact name (such as Charles Dickens, Michael Crichton, etc.). This could be a student's name, too.
- Pick the sort order in which you want to see that writer's sentences. There are two choices. By source, then F# will put the writer's sentences into order first by source (ie book title), and then by form number. By F# , then source will group the sentences by form number first, and then within those having the same form number, it will order them according to source (ie. book title).
BROWSE OPTION 3 - find the sentences from a certain book, or 2HA class
- Enter the name of the book or the code name for the class whose sentences you want to see. If you type Jurassic, it will give you all the sentences from the sources that match, such as Jurassic Park, Jurassic Movie, Jurassic Era, etc. If you type CN001 (a sample class code), then it will give you all the sentences by students in the CN001 2HA class. Instructors can use this wild card feature to help them retrieve sentences by groups of students or classes. An instructor could tell her or his students to use source code of the form CN001-01, CN001-02, etc or CN001-03springENG200-01, CN001-03springENG200-02, etc.
- Now we must show our preference for sort order. We can sort by form number (to see all of the F or S or V sentences by the whole class), by writer (to see all the sentences by grouped by student/writer name in alphabetical order), by writer then F# (to see all of Billy or Betty' sentences grouped together in succession), or by F# then writer to see all of the sentences of a class grouped by F#, then in alphabetical order by writer's name.

Enter a sentence which shows more than one of the 11 basic forms. This sentence should be a discovered sentence |
Read the following explanations of the Multi-Form Sentence Submit Page:

STEPS
- Pick the nation of the writer of the sentence
- Write the name of the writer of the sentence
- Pick the level of the writer. Usually, multi-form sentences should be written by professional or published writers, so select P.
- Try to indicate the English exposure or background of the writer (probably, this is lifelong or major)
- This box is for such things as source, class tag, or credit tag. If you are entering a discovered sentence, where did you find it? In what book or magazine? Or, what is your 2HA class session code? If you are entering a discovered sentence, you can edit a finder's credit tag here [your name].
- Pick the topic or category which best fits the sentence
- Write the sentence that you have written or discovered
- Use the Form drop-down selection menus below the empty box to select the different forms that are in the sentence you have found. At present, you can use this "button selection method" to pick at most one form from each of the eleven forms. For example, you can use the 2 S Series button only once, the 3V Verbals button only once. As you click and add the form codes, the form codes will be put into order from one to eleven. If the sentence has more than one form of one type, then you can click on the textarea box and manually add them at the end of the list. The order of the list is not important; it is more important that you make sure that all the many forms found in your sentence are listed in the box.
- Look over everything, check it, and when you are sure that everything is correct, press the Send It In!button. You will be asked to check it once again - with an option to come back and correct it - before finally submitting it. If you change your mind, you can press "Reset/Clear" to clear the whole form.
