Title: Sentences


1
Sentences
  • Writing sentences that make sense!

2
A sentence is also known as an independent
clause and consists of two separate parts
  • the SUBJECT
  • the PREDICATE

3
Subjects Predicates
  • The complete subject of a sentence includes all
    the words that tell who or what the subject is.
  • The complete predicate includes all the words
    that state the action or condition of the
    subject.
  • EXAMPLE
  • The dusty old car / wont start anymore
  • subject predicate

4
  • Zeus wont let mortals have power, so they got
    mad at him.
  • Hope was considered an evil, yet it inspired
    mortals to try to overcome odds anyway.
  • Women are a beautiful evil, but men loved them
    anyway.
  • Pandora was the first woman in Greek mythology,
    so she was responsible for unleashing all the
    evil in the world.

Practice Simple Sentences
  • With a partner, create one of each type of these
    simple sentences
  • As a result, you will each have three original
    sentences total in your notes
  • 1 SS with Compound Subject (1 minute)
  • 1 SS with Compound Predicate (1 minute)
  • 1SS with Compound Subject AND Compound Predicate
    (2 minutes)

  • The boy threw the ball

Subject

8
Independent Clauses
  • A simple sentence is also known as an independent
    clause that means it can stand on its own
    because it has a clear subject and predicate.
  • Example
  • The chef created a sumptuous meal
  • Subject Predicate
  • for his diners.
  • Prepositional phrase adds additional details

9
Compound Sentences
  • Two Independent Clauses (clauses that can stand
    alone as a sentence) combined into one sentence
    using proper punctuation and conjunctions.

10
Think of joining two independent clauses like two
trains heading toward each other on the same
track
11
Without a link, what will happen?
  • With trains. Uh Oh!
  • With sentences or ideas?.... Confusion
  • Adam is a sweet boy he really loves animals. His
    father works at a zoo and he leaves for work in
    the morning he works all day but calls home twice
    once in the morning and again after lunch just to
    check in on him and his little brother Adam got
    his sweetness from his mother she is a baker in a
    donut shop. Ha ha ha ha Do you get why he is so
    sweet his mother works in a bake shop
    consequently Adam is a sweet boy? I bet he likes
    candy and brownies too.

12
The Link!!
  • There are actually THREE ways to make a compound
    sentence!
  • Theyre all based on the rule of combining two
    independent clauses
  • The way you join them can change!

13
Compound Sentences
  • Two independent clauses joined by a comma and a
    coordinating conjunction
  • Ex Emma is talented at drawing, so she
    illustrates all of her notes.

14
Coordinating Conjunctions
  • F
  • A
  • N
  • B
  • O
  • Y
  • S

or
nd
or
ut
r
et
o
15
Method 1
  • Two independent clauses joined by a comma and a
    coordinating conjunction
  • Ex Garrets performance art show opened today,
    and the crowd was immense.
  • Ex Ruby wanted to buy a French bulldog puppy, so
    she started saving her money

16
Your Turn
  • With a neighbor, create a compound sentence using
    Method 1. Remember, you need to use a
    coordinating conjunction (or FANBOYS word) to
    join your two independent clauses (2 mins)

17
Coordinating Conjunctions
  • and means in addition
  • but, yet means in contrast
  • for means because
  • nor means not either
  • or means either, a choice
  • so means as a result
  • Using any of these conjunctions in a compound
    sentence has a very specific meaning

18
A Word of Caution!
  • BE CAREFUL Then, also, and plus are not
    coordinating conjunctions. By themselves, they
    cannot join two ideas.

19
Some Examples
Result Josh doesnt like mushrooms or peas, so
he refused to eat his dinner. Because Jane was
stranded in the street, for her car broke
down. Result  We failed to complete the task, so
we now have to do it for homework.
20
You Try!
  • We couldnt play basketball. It was snowing
    outside.
  • The kids woke up late. They were late for
    school.
  • We wanted to go sledding. It was too cold
    outside.

21
Practice
  • Pick one of these conjunctions to create compound
    sentences using Method 1 (2 mins)
  • (try to avoid using and)

22
Method 2
  • Two independent clauses joined by a semicolon
  • Ex. Its too hot inside my apartment lets go to
    the lake.
  • Ex. This was a beautiful autumn the colors of
    the leaves were stunning.

23
Whats a Semi-Colon?
  • A semi-colon joins two independent clauses to
    create a compound sentence
  • A semi-colon is used in place where a conjunction
    has been left out.
  • Example I used to think semi-colons could only
    be used to send winks via text messages I now
    see their relevance in creating compound
    sentences. )

24
Your Turn
  • With a neighbor, using facts from the two myths
    our groups recently read (The Blue Corn Maiden
    The Origins of the Seasons), create an
    original compound sentence using METHOD 2
    (2 mins)
  • Independent clause Independent clause
    Method 2

25
Creating Compound SentencesMethod 3
  • Two independent clauses joined by a semicolon and
    a conjunctive adverb
  • A conjunctive adverb can join two main clauses.
    In this situation, the conjunctive adverb behaves
    like a coordinating conjunction, connecting two
    complete ideas.
  • Notice, however, that you need a semicolon, not a
    comma, to connect the two clauses

26
Recognize a Conjunctive Adverb When You See One
  • Conjunctions have one job, to connect. They join
    words, phrases, or clauses together to clarify
    what the writer is saying. Their presence
    provides smooth transitions from one idea to
    another.
  • When the job of an adverb is to connect ideas, we
    call it a conjunctive adverb.

27
(some) Conjunctive Adverbs
accordingly still furthermore
moreover similarly however
nevertheless besides incidentally
indeed nonetheless therefore
consequently instead thus
finally likewise otherwise
undoubtedly further meanwhile
28
Some Examples of Compound Sentences using Method
3main clause    conjunctive adverb
 ,  main clause.
  • Ex. It rained heavily in the afternoon however,
    Sarah managed to have the picnic anyway.
  • Ex. Liam couldn't make it to the summit and back
    before dark therefore, he decided to camp for
    the night

29
Compound Sentence Practice!
  • With a neighbor, write your own sentence
    describing events from your weekend using Method
    3 (3 mins)
  • Method 3
  • main clause    conjunctive adverb  ,  main
    clause.

30
When do you use them?
  • Each method has a different application.
  • Methods 1 and 3 emphasize relationship and
    cause-effect
  • Method 2 is for two related ideas that do not
    need an explicit link
