Therefore, sentence construction practice is a pressing need for students today. To meet the demand for sentence construction exercises, we have compiled this "Sentence Construction Dictionary." The main features of this book are its abundant examples of sentence construction, most of which are selected from standardized sentences in famous works. The sentence examples take into account the interplay between the core sentence and its related preceding or following sentences, preserving the original content or central idea of the work to deepen students' understanding of sentence construction. Elegant and exquisite sentences also serve as a source of appreciation. The part of speech is marked for each word used in the examples, along with its function in the sentence. The overall design of the book is concise and easy to read. In the main text, the words used in sentence construction are annotated with Pinyin.
