That doesn't seem right. Are you sure?

Could you please help me with the different possible functions of texts?
I'm currently writing an analytical commentary on the transcript of Quentin Bryce's Swearing in ceremony as Governor General, but I'm not sure what the function would be.
Thanks

What's your best guess at the moment? :)

Because it is a television broadcast of the ceremony (we have the written transcript) would the function be 'to inform' the viewers of the proceedings? I'm unsure if I were to mention the function of the ceremony, what it would be in simple terms, because obviously the purpose is to swear her in as governor general, but I'm unsure of the simple function of this.
Thanks for your help

Hmm that's actually a bit tricky. On the assumption that you're analysing the broadcast rather than the event itself (which I assume you are), I think I agree with "to inform". :) You're right, though - it's certainly the case that the actual function is to swear in Quentin Bryce haha.
Good question - would be interested in others' opinions! :)

Hey guys
I just have a question and was hoping if someone would help me.
I was wondering what type of sentence this is.
"Children who are never spoken to will not acquire language."
I thought it was simple but my teacher says because there are two verb that it is compound or complex with the sentence being ellipsed.
Thanks,
