REVIEW
1. Write your quizzes and tests using Word or Wordpad or Textedit
2. Save your quiz or test file on your computer.
3. Give your quiz or test file a meaningful name. e.g. Don’t name it “Document 15”
Name it “Your name, time, class, Quiz#”
“Joe Chen, 8:30, EF6, Quiz2”
4. Attach your quiz or test file to your email.
5. In the subject line of the email, write “Your name, time, class, Quiz#”
6. Send the email.
7. I will read your writing and make comments.
8. Then I will return your quiz or test to you by email.
9. You can open the file and read my comments.
Could you read my comment?
If you can read my comment, everything is ok.
If you can’t read my comment, we will figure that out today.
Open up that file now and check if you are not sure.
**
Some students are still having trouble seeing my comment on their writing.
I use Microsoft Word to mark your writing and provide comments.
Microsoft Word is the software that Vancouver School Board provides to teachers. If you have MSWord, you should be able to view my comments on your writing.
Go to Review – All Markup
Show Markup - Comments.
If you do not have MSWord, you may be able to view my comments on your writing using an online viewer.
I found this one: https://onlinedocumentviewer.com/Viewer/
Your homework is to figure this out if it is still a problem. Let me know if you are having trouble.
Overview of Sentence Types
You are probably already experienced with English. I have some new things to teach you.
Full review of the three sentence types: very important, very useful, very practical
We study sentences so that we can use them, write them.
Quick overview of sentence types
1.SIMPLE
2.COMPOUND
3.COMPLEX
99% of the time, these three sentence types will allow to write anything you want.
I have a small business where I do editing for university students, mostly nurses. What I do is read their essays and papers and then edit their writing into simple, compound, and complex sentence.
1.SIMPLE – one main clause, one independent clause
one idea
subject and a verb
Subject+Verb, S+V
SV “It is raining.” It is raining.
SV “Today is cold.” Today is cold.
SV “The dog likes apples.”
IMPORTANT: Don’t forget a capital letter at the beginning. Don’t forget a period at the end.
An different style of simple sentence:
SSV subject subject verb “You and I are talking on the phone.”
Another style of simple sentence:
SVV “The dog is sleeping and snoring.”
Another style of simple sentence:
imperative, command sentence – tell somebody to do something
“Come in.” “Watch out.” “Sit down.” “Open the window, please.”
no subject “You come in.” implied subject
Another style of simple sentence:
interrogative sentence – question

“What time is it?”
