  1. CLAUSEs and SENTENCE types

  2. NOUN and SUBJECT • A noun is a person, place, thing or idea • Mom • Potato • Coagulation • ______________ • A subject is a noun doing something • Mom reads books. • Potatoes grow in the ground. • The coagulation had begun. • ________________________.

  3. VERB and PREDICATE III. A verb is a word that shows action A. Run B. Jump C. Discombobulate D. ___________________. IV. A predicate is a verb that shows action of the subject. A. Skippy runs to help his heart. B. We jumped before running. C. The roller coaster discombobulated my head. D. ___________________.

  4. CLAUSE V. A clause is any subject and predicate combined (something doing something). • Gary scooted. • Betty hiccuped. • The week-old Pepsi coagulated.

  5. NOT A CLAUSE! VI. Watch out for these non-clauses (sentence fragments)! A. The verb phrase (needs a subject) 1. “Rolling down the street with a broken wheel…” B. The noun phrase (needs a predicate) 2. “The black and yellow house with an overgrown lawn…”

  6. DEPENDENT CLAUSES (don’t copy –just listen!) Dependent clauses are really needy clauses that are a complete pain and have such poor self-esteem that they feel like they always have to be in a relationship to feel like they have any self-worth. They just don’t sound like full sentences by themselves and they are dependent upon others. • Because we all want ice cream… • When the teacher returns… • If Johnny brings the poster paper…

  7. INDEPENDENT CLAUSES (Don’t copy– just listen!) Independent clauses are healthy and self-actualized without any kind of clingy dependency on other clauses. They are comfortable not being in a relationship with others because they are strong and make perfect sense all by themselves. • “We all want ice cream” • “The teacher returns.” • “Johnny brings the poster paper.”

  8. Coordinating Conjunctions VII. A coordinating conjunction is a conjunction that combines two independent clauses. A. For B. And C. Nor D. But E. Or F. Yet G. So

  9. NOT A coordinating conjunction (don’t copy—just listen) • Because • If • When • Where • What • How • As • While … and many more (these are called subordinating conjunctions. They are the enablers of dependent clauses)

  10. Compound Sentences IIX. A compound sentence is a sentence that combines two independent clauses with a coordinating conjunction. A. Bob eats, and Al sings. B. Dad washes, and Mom dries. C. The two-week-old Pepsi coagulated in the bottom of the cup, and Gary drank it anyways. D. _____________________________________

  11. The reason we learn this… • Because you need to use a comma when you write a compound sentence (right before the coordinating conjunction)! • I love pie, and you do not.

  12. On a new sheet of paper Write seven COMPOUND SENTENCES using each of the COORDINATING CONJUNCTIONS: • For (Marco will eat breakfast, for he is hungry.) • And (Thalia will play the guitar, and Andy will beat his bongo drums.) • Nor (Matthew will not talk in class, nor will he interrupt.) • But (William likes vegetables, but he doesn’t like fruit.) • Or (Colton will do a dance, or he will sing.) • Yet (Diego is a good writer, yet he is in high school.) • So (Lauren did her homework, so she has an A!) DON’T FORGET THE COMMA!!!!!!!

  13. 8. Write a compound sentence that uses two subjects in both clauses. Meejin and Yoon picked apples, and Cameron and Colin plucked carrots.

  14. 9. Write a compound sentence that uses two verbs in each clause. Brandon dunks basketballs and hits homeruns, but Bailey hits holes-in-one and rolls Yahtzees.

  15. 10. Write a compound sentence with two verbs and two subjects in each clause! Madison and Isabel skip around the maypole and flip tiddlywinks, and Hadis and Amanda dance and wave their arms.
