  • Why is it important for writers or public speakers to understand the concept of effective sentences?

    -Understanding the concept of effective sentences helps writers and public speakers ensure that their messages are well-received and understood by their audience, making communication clearer and more effective.

  • What is the role of 'prepositions' in making a sentence less effective as mentioned in the video?

    -The video suggests that starting a sentence with prepositions, like 'bagi' (for), can create ambiguity and weaken the clarity of a sentence. It is recommended to avoid using prepositions at the beginning for better sentence effectiveness.

  • What is the 'aspect of unity' in effective sentence construction?

    -The aspect of unity involves ensuring the structural and semantic coherence of a sentence. All elements of the sentence must share a common meaning, avoiding ambiguity, and ensuring that the message is clear.

  • How can repetition of subjects affect the effectiveness of a sentence?

    -Repetition of subjects can make a sentence less effective by making it unnecessarily wordy and confusing. It is better to mention the subject once when it is clear that the same subject is being referred to throughout the sentence.

  • What is the 'aspect of parallelism' in constructing effective sentences?

    -Parallelism ensures that similar words or phrases have a consistent form within a sentence. It helps in maintaining uniformity, making the sentence easier to read and understand.

  • How can sentences be made more concise according to the 'aspect of brevity' discussed in the video?

    -Sentences can be made more concise by removing redundant words or phrases that do not alter the meaning when omitted. This makes the message more direct and easier to understand.

  • What does the 'aspect of precision' refer to in the context of effective sentences?

    -Precision refers to ensuring that a sentence is free from ambiguity and has a clear meaning. It involves using punctuation and selecting words that convey the intended message without causing confusion.

  • Why is 'variety' important in constructing effective sentences?

  • What example does the video give to explain illogical expressions, and why should they be avoided?

    -The video uses phrases like 'to shorten time' and 'time and place are given' as examples of illogical expressions. These should be avoided because they do not make sense logically and can confuse the audience. Instead, it is better to use more precise expressions like 'make use of the time' or 'inviting someone to speak.'
