Good afternoon.

Today’s agenda:

3. Continue with Sentence combining

coordination and subordination

We will finish at 2:15 today.

Are there any that you would you to discuss?

2. know ask

Sentence combining

sentence types:

simple

compound

complex

You have to be able to write these.

Fundamental skills for us

sentence combining – put this knowledge and skills into practice

Two choices besides Simple sentences:

(often Simple sentences are not possible when conveying a lot of dense information)

1. coordination – co together, cooperate, coworker

two things on the same level

coordinate clauses – two clauses on the same level of importance

Compound sentences AAAA , SOBA CCCC.

AAAA; TRANS, CCCC.

2. subordination – sub, lower, subway, substitute

two things not on the same level

subordinated clauses – adverb, adjective, and noun clauses

Complex sentences

We can either coordinate information or subordinate information.

We have to be conscious about this. When we are writing, we have to decide what kind of sentence we want to write: simple, compound, complex.

If you don’t decide what kind of sentence you want to write, your sentence may turn out to be a mess.

Sentence combining allows us opportunity to practice this.

Your examples of #2 from Homework – Type your answer in Chat, and tell us what kind of sentence you wrote: simple, compound, complex.

1. The object that appears rounded has a diameter that measures about 1/8 inch. complex -adj cl

2. The object which has many flat sides and a diameter that measures about 1/8 inch appears rounded. complex-adj cl

3. The object has many flat sides but appears rounded, and it has a diameter that measures about 1/8 inch. compound complex

4. The object has many flat sides but appears rounded with a diameter measuring about 1/8 inch. Simple

5. The object has many flat sides; also, the object appears rounded. Compound

The object has a diameter that measures about 1/8 inch. Complex

6. The object has many flat sides and appears rounded than a diameter each is meansure about 1/8inch XXX RW rewrite

This is a challenge.

If you can this, you can go to any college and write.

Is this too hard? I can give you easier sentence combining exercises. Let me know. I can give you easier ones.
