*SIMPLE    SV   SSV   SVV   SSVV   Imperative (command)   Question (interrogative)

 

SIMPLE SENTENCES

It is overcast today. We will go for a walk on the beach. 2 SIMPLE SENTENCES

 

No quiz on simple sentences

 

*COMPOUND – two simple sentences, join then together into one

It is overcast today. JOIN We will go for a walk on the beach.

 

How do you join them together?

 

FANBOYS – 7 coordinating conjunctions used for compound sentences

FANBOYS – for and nor but or yet so

FANBOYS  for and nor but or yet so   mnemonic, memory device

 

TRUTH   , FANBOYS not realistic, not that useful, not authentic English

 

In compound sentences: for nor yet rarely used in compound sentences by English speakers

-taught in grammar books, but not often used

 

 

-for  

Maria is going to carry her umbrella, for it is going to rain. VERY UNUSUAL, sounds like a grammar book, doesn’t sound like a real English speaker

MORE LIKELY: Maria is going to carry her umbrella because it is going to rain. COMPLEX SENT, ADVERB CLAUSE- will learn next week

because/since/as

 

-nor   Joan does not like dogs, nor does she like cats.  VERY UNUSUAL, NOT AUTHENTIC ENGLISH, like a grammar book

MORE LIKELY: Joan does not like dogs or cats. SIMPLE

 

You probably studied ‘neither...nor’. We don’t talk like that.

“either … or” – occasionally , not often

 

You can either get a new video game or a new pair of sneakers for your birthday.

 

-yet   It is cloudy today, yet it is still warm. NOT AUTHENTIC, SOUNDS WEIRDLY FORMAL

MORE LIKELY: It is overcast today, but it is still warm. AUTHENTIC

 

‘yet’ Are you finished yet? Have you had your supper, yet?

NOT A COMPOUND SENTENCE, SIMPLE SENTENCE

 

 

MY ADVICE: Forget about ‘for’, ‘nor’, and ‘yet’ for compound sentences.

 

FANBOYS

SOBA

Forget about FANBOYS. Use SOBA. so or but and    New mnemonic

***These are the ones we use: so or but and ***

 

** When you think about compound sentences, think about a delicious plate of yakisoba.**

 

Let’s focus on SOBA.

 

Some teachers teach , FANBOYS. for and nor but or yet so

for nor yet Not commonly used

Why learn them if we don’t use them?

 

Focus on the four coordinating conjunctions that we use all the time:

, SOBA   , so   , or   , but   , and

 

Easier to remember: soba noodles- buckwheat noodles

yakisoba- Japanese noodles

 

 

**      FORM FOR COMPOUND SENTENCES:

SV, SOBA SV.

 

The cat is asleep. The dog is awake. 2 simple sentences

The cat is asleep. JOIN The dog is awake.

Join with , SOBA.

 

The cat is asleep, and the dog is awake. COMPOUND

The cat is asleep, but the dog is awake. COMPOUND

*NOTE: You need the comma.

I will teach you the details of punctuation.

 

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SIMPLE AND COMPOUND

Mei loves dark chocolate but hates white chocolate. SIMPLE SVV

Mei loves dark chocolate, but she hates white chocolate. COMPOUND SV, SOBA SV.

 

COMPOUND:   SV, SOBA SV.

 

COMPARISON OF SIMPLE AND COMPOUND

 

SIMPLE-

Mei loves to dance but doesn’t like to sing.
SVV   Mei loves to dance but doesn’t like to sing.*

* no comma

 

Mei loves to dance, but doesn’t like to sing. XXX

* no comma in simple sentence

 

COMPOUND SV, SOBA SV.
