Understanding Sentence Patterns and Cohesion: Key Components of Effective Writing

This guide explores essential elements of sentence structure, focusing on predicate and subject slots, as well as cohesion within composition. It discusses how predicates inform about the subject and highlights the importance of subjects in sentence formation. Additionally, the concept of cohesion is explained as the connective element that unifies sentences, enhancing clarity and flow. Examples illustrate how to apply these concepts, including the use of pronouns and various sentence patterns, to create coherent and engaging writing.

  1. Sentence Patterns and Cohesion Ashley White Megan Feldmann Alyssa Doyle

  2. Predicate Slots {} The placement of the predicate (tells something about the subject) in a sentence. Subject slots BOLD The placement of the subject (what/whom the sentence is about) in a sentence. Ex. Judy and her dog {run on the beach every morning}. Terms and Examples Cohesion the ties that connect sentences or the glue that holds too sentences together.

  3. Subjects What/whom the sentence is talking about also what the pronoun replaces in a complex sentence like, The dress, Lauren, The Dog Ex.Laurenis at the gym with her roommate until 6. Thedress at Macy’s is only $30. Thedog next-door is barking really loudly.

  4. Pronoun: words that replace the subject in a sentence such as he, she, it, or they. Ex.Laurenis at the gym with her roommate until 6. She will be back soon. I have a biology test tomorrow. It is going to be really hard if I do not study. I love chocolate cake during finals. It relieves my stress.

  5. Sentence Patterns/Schemas A-B, B-C, C-D New information in one sentence becomes the known information in the next sentence. Ex. Lauren has a big dog named Toby. He has spots all over him. They are black.

  6. Sentence Patterns/Schemas A-B,A-C,A-D The subject is introduced in the first sentence. All sentences preceding restate the subject. Ex. Lauren has little pink boots. Laurens’ boots have fur on the top. Lauren’s boots are very cute.
