So far these are the sentence types that we have been learning:

 

*SIMPLE

SV   SSV   SVV  Imperative   Interrogative

It is raining today.

 

*COMPOUND

, FANBOYS – not the most useful way to look at it

, SOBA   , so   , or   , but   , and    – more useful in my opinion, 90% of the time

SV, SOBA SV.

Marin is tired, so she wants to have a nap.

SV, so SV.

SV, or SV.

SV, but SV.

SV, and SV.

 

 

*COMPLEX

-adverb clause- today, next week

-adjective clause – next week

 

 

** Adverb clauses***

adverb modifies a verb, usually a ‘ly’ word

She sings beautifully. ‘beautifully’ talking about the verb ‘sings’

She has a beautiful voice. adjective

 

adverb – describes a verb

 

beautiful – adjective, describes a noun  Her smile is beautiful.

He walks slowly.

quickly

carefully- You drive your car carefully.

irregular goodly well  She speaks English very well.

good (adj) The cookies look good.

She speaks English well. adverb

She is a good speaker. adjective good  describes ‘speaker’, noun, not the verb

angrily? quickly? patiently? carefully?

expand the idea of adverbs into adverb clauses – S+V

 

 

- adverb clause- subject + verb SV

 

THREE MOST COMMON WORDS FOR ADVERB CLAUSES:

because   if   when

 

Most of the time, we use these three words. – high frequency, used often , all day long, every day

 

OTHER WORDS THAT MIGHT NOT BE AS FAMILIAR

since

unless

even though

 

EF6 - teach about 25

*TRUTH- BIG SMALL SECRET: You only need about 8-10

 

Let’s focus on these three to begin with: because   if   when

 

**because- give a reason why

Commas with adverbs clauses- You will see difeerent styles from different writers. I am teaching you some simple firm rules to follow. As you become stronger writers, you can choose your own comma usage.

Like driving lessons – 10&2 on the steering wheel

 

Some teacher say ‘Never start a sentence with ‘because’. This is not really true.

You can if you want. Remember the comma.

e.g.

Maris is wearing a sweater because it is chilly today.

Because it is chilly today, Maris is wearing a sweater.

 

SEVERAL WAYS TO GIVE THE SAME INFORMATION

Maris is wearing a sweater. It is chilly today. SIMPLES

Maris is wearing a sweater because it is chilly today. COMPLEX- ADV CL

Because it is chilly today, Maris is wearing a sweater. COMPLEX- ADV CL

It is chilly today, so Maris is wearing a sweater. COMPOUND

It is chilly today; therefore, Maris is wearing a sweater. COMPOUND

If you can learn this, you can do anything in English.

Our goals! We want to be able to write in all of these styles.

 

More examples:

 

1.    Joe bought new dress shoes because he has a job interview.

Because Joe has a job interview, he bought new dress shoes.

*Use the name first, then the pronoun.

Janet called her sister.

2.    Sam is quite nervous because she has her first presentation today.

Because she Sam has her first presentation today, Sam she is quite nervous.

3.    Sam is really good at typing because he always types at work.

Good for EF34567, English 10,11,12, college, university.

If you can master these sentence styles, you will be good to go.

 

EF7 and Eng 10 -same level

EF7 is for people who graduated high school already.

Eng.10 is for people who have not graduated high school already.

 

IDIOM good to go- ready, ready for anything
