  1. Sentence imitation #3 grendel

  2. Copy the sentence “She hears them coming. I duck into the gloom to watch and wait” (Gardner 126).

  3. Try it: Compound sentence • Conjoin the two simple sentences to make a compound sentence • Use FANBOYS and proper comma placement. She hears them coming, so I duck into the gloom to watch and wait (Gardner 126).

  4. Try it: Complex sentence • Conjoin the two sentences to create a complex sentence • Use a subordinating conjunction and proper comma placement Since she hears them coming, I duck into the gloom to watch and wait (126). Or I duck into the gloom since she hears them coming (126).

  5. Compound sentence & conjunctive adverbs • Another way to create a compound sentence is by using conjunctive adverbs She hears them coming; consequently, I duck into the gloom to watch and wait (Gardner 126).

  6. Common Conjunctive adverbs • Accordingly hence • Additionally however • Again in addition • Almost in fact • Anyway instead • As a result likewise • Besides meanwhile • Certainly moreover • Comparatively eventually • Consequently equally • Contrarily finally • Conversely further • Furthermore nonetheless • Otherwise similarly • Subsequently therefore • Thus on the other hand

  7. The rule • Use a semicolon and a comma when a conjunctive adverb separates two main clauses. She hears them coming;consequently, I duck into the gloom to watch and wait. • As it follows, you will use a comma after one of these adverbs if you start a sentence with one, too. Consequently, I duck into the gloom to watch and wait.

  8. Try it now Write your own original sentence on a topic of your choice using a conjunctive adverb with proper punctuation.
