Test2 paragraph on “Ice Storm”
**Source of confusion- difference between compound and complex
sentences, specifically transitional terms and adverbial conjunctions (adverb
clause words)
e.g. however/although
- similar meanings, different usage, different grammar, different different
types of sentences
Your challenge is to figure them out.
*however COMPOUND It
is very cold today; however, we have to go to school.
*although COMPLEX- ADV
CL We have to go to school although it is very cold today.
* Compound sentence – transitional term
It snowed last night; therefore, the roads were slick
this morning.
* Complex sentence – adverbial conjunction (adverb clause
words)
The roads were slick this morning because it snowed
last night.
Because it snowed last night, the roads were slick
this morning.
These are different kinds of sentences. They may look
similar, but they are not. Definitely you will get them confused sometimes.
Very simple advice to you and to me:
If you want to learn piano, play
piano a little bit every day. In a year, you’ll be good.
If you want to learn piano
to write sentence styles in English, play
piano practice the
sentence styles a little bit every day. In a year, you’ll be good.
Put it in your phone calendar as a gentle reminder.
When your English is getting better, you will feel great!
However, you have to do the work.
If you learn these, you will be able to express 99.9% of
your ideas.
