Learning GoalStudents will be able to write, use and properly punctuate the four basic sentence structures. Learning the four sentence structures will help us to become better writers by showing us how to use varying sentence lengths. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b84H3Hnr5N8&t=5s
Four Basic Sentence Structures Simple (s) Compound (c) Complex (cx) Compound-Complex (ccx) Let’s watch a little video that introduces 3 of these. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98OcAe5O0Ws
Compound Sentence • A compound sentence has more than one part that can stand alone (independent clauses). • Independent clauses are connected by coordinating conjunctions, conjunctive adverbs or a semi-colon.
COMPOUND SENTENCE:CONJUNCTIVE ADVERBS Bob is handsome; moreover, he is rich. Note: Semicolon before conjunctive adverb and comma after conjunctive adverb!
COMPOUND SENTENCESemicolons • “If the relation between the ideas expressed in the main clauses is very close and obvious without a conjunction, you can separate the clauses with a semicolon” (Little, Brown Handbook, 9th Edition, p. 361).
Complex Sentence • A complex sentence has at least two parts: one that can stand alone and another one that cannot • The part that cannot stand alone is linked to the rest of the sentence by a subordinating conjunction
COMPLEX SENTENCE:SUBORDINATING CONJUNCTIONS The most common subordinating conjunctions are"after," "although," "as," "because," "before," "how," "if," "once," "since," "than," "that," though," "till," "until," "when," "where," "whether,” and while."
Complex Sentence Since we wanted to have fun, we went to San Juan yesterday.
Complex Sentence Sincewewantedto have fun, Subordinating Conjunction Part that cannot stand alone Subject Predicate wewentto San Juan yesterday.
Compound-Complex Sentence • This type of sentence has more than one part that can stand alone, and at least one that cannot. • Conjunctions link the different parts of this sentence.
Compound-Complex Sentence Since we wanted to have fun, my boyfriend and I went to San Juan yesterday, and we danced all night.
