如何打印文本每个句子中的前两个单词

Question

I have string with multiple sentences.

string1 = 'I am going to the shop. I would like some cheese! I am ready to go back home!'

How can i print the first two words of each sentence? And the last two words of each sentence?

The first two words of each sentence are:
I am I would I am
The last two words of each sentence are:
the shop some cheese back home

Answer 1

Try this one:

string1 = 'I am going to the shop. I would like some cheese! I am ready to go back home!'

# First two words
print('\nFirst two words')
print(' '.join(string1.split()[:2]))

# Last two words
print('\nLast two words')
print(' '.join(string1.split()[-2:]))

# First two and Last two with something inside...
print('\nFirst + something + last two words')
print(' '.join(string1.split()[:2]) + ' ...something... ' + ' '.join(string1.split()[-2:]))

Prints:

First two words
I am

Last two words
back home!

First + something + last two words
I am ...something... back home!

Answer 2

There are probably a hundred ways to do this but the first one that comes to mind for me would be to use the strings split() method. This will split the string up into a list and each element will be a word

first_2_words = string1.split()[0:1]

this will split the string by the spaces and only grab the first 2 words

Answer 3

Edit: To also print last two words of each sentence

import re
string1 = 'I am going to the shop. I would like some cheese! I am ready to go back home!'
split_list = re.split('[?.!]', string1)
for txt in split_list:
    print(txt.split()[:2],txt.split()[-2:] ) 

output

['I', 'am'] ['the', 'shop']
['I', 'would'] ['some', 'cheese']
['I', 'am'] ['back', 'home']
[] []
