-EXTREMELY IMPORTANT

Does it look like an essay?

 

-EXTRA EXTREMELY IMPORTANT

the quality of the sentences!!

Every sentence has to be simple, compound or complex. If they are not, it’s not English.

 

MY OBSERVATION: When people write about things that they care about, the grammar goes out the window.

 

Optional RW for 1 point- pass in today or first thing tomorrow

 

DISTRIBUTE         “Simple, Compound, Complex, and Compound-Complex Sentences”

 

Sentences:

Every sentence in English has to have a subject and a verb.

COMPOUND   SV, SOBA SV.       SV; TRANS SV.

COMPLEX

In school writing, don’t begin a sentence with SOBA. It’s too casual.

 

ww

And we like to go downtown.

FIX

We like to go downtown.

Also, we like to go downtown.

 

ww

But it is hard to get a job.

FIX

It is hard to get a job.

However, it is hard to get a job.

Nevertheless, it is hard to get a job.

 

We have to internalize these sentence styles.

They have to become automatic.
