الموضوع والفكرة الرئيسية: مفتاح بناء الجمل الإنجليزية

I’ve always believed that strong communication starts with clear structure—and sentence organization is the key to expressing ideas effectively. Here is why this is important on the DET -

لماذا تُعد بنية الجملة مهمة؟

English sentences aren’t just a random collection of words—they follow a precise structure that shapes meaning and clarity. Every sentence has a topic (the subject) and a controlling idea (the message or direction).

This structure is crucial for clear writing and effective communication. Understanding how to balance these elements will improve your fluency, coherence, and task relevance in both writing and speaking tasks.

تحليل بنية الجملة 📝

A topic is what the sentence is about.
A controlling idea gives direction and adds meaning.

✅ Example 1: Crossword puzzles are not only educational and fun, but also addictive.

Topic: Crossword puzzles
Controlling idea: Educational, fun, and addictive

✅ Example 2: Although buying a house may seem appealing, renting an apartment has many advantages.

Topic: Buying a house
Controlling idea: Renting has many advantages

💡

In both examples, the topic introduces the subject, while the controlling idea guides the reader toward a specific interpretation.

10 Powerful Ways to Supercharge Your English Learning

تطبيق بنية الجملة في مهام التحدث 🎙️

Let’s apply this concept to a Duolingo English Test speaking question:

❓ Question: Talk about something you would not normally do. What was it? If you could go back in time, would you do it again?

✅ Response: I’d like to talk about something I would not normally do: joining a baseball team as a kid.

Topic: Joining a baseball team
Controlling idea: Learning resilience, teamwork, and making lasting memories

لماذا ينجح هذا الأسلوب:

The topic is clear (joining a baseball team).
The controlling idea adds depth (it was a valuable learning experience).
The response remains structured and engaging, guiding the listener through the thought process.

لماذا بنية الجملة ضرورية لـ Duolingo English Test ✍️

1️⃣ ارتباط المهمة (Task Relevance)

If your response strays from the controlling idea, you risk a lower score for task relevance. The AI evaluates how directly your response answers the prompt.

2️⃣ تطوير الفكرة (Idea Development)

Your controlling idea should support your topic with depth. Responses that lack development appear too simple and receive lower production scores.

3️⃣ الاتساق والوضوح (Cohesion and Clarity)

When sentences flow logically, your writing and speaking become more natural. Using transition words like "for instance," "on the other hand," and "as a result," improves cohesion.
