1. By doing something, S + V + O
Ex:

By spending money protecting minority

Ex:

3. If S + V + O, S + V + O

Ex:

If air travel is restricted, people would opt for

4. Instead of V-ing, S + V + O

Ex:

Instead of driving cars, people should use

Ex:

The use of private cars is insceasing in Ha Noi,

s.th/ the demand for s.th
Ex:

Many people in the countryside migrate into

Ex:

When a language dies out, a whole way of life

Ex:

While some students drop out after a few years
