REVIEW-

1. SIMPLE   SV   SSV   SVV  SSVV   Imperative(command) Interrogative(question)

2. COMPOUND   , FANBOYS   , SOBA- much more useful

                               ; semicolon

                               ; therefore, TRANSITIONAL TERMS

 

3. COMPLEX SENTENCES- adverb clauses, noun clauses, adjective clauses

 

a. adverb clauses – because if when unless until after before although, etc

We will do about 20-30.

 

“Sarah doesn’t want to talk to Maria because they had an argument.”

main clause adverb clause  no comma

“Because Sarah and Maria had an argument, Sarah doesn’t want to talk to her.

adverb clause  main clause comma

If it rains, we won’t go to the beach.”

 

She is happy, because she won the lottery. XXX no comma, small error

She is happy because she won the lottery.

 

** IMPORTANT POINT: You always need a SV. If you don’t have a SV for each clause, you will likely run into trouble. Special case: imperative

Sit down. You sit down. implied subject

 

Example: My sister lives in Vancouver, works in a store. XXX

FIX

My sister lives in Vancouver and works in a store.

My sister lives in Vancouver, and she works in a store.

My sister lives in Vancouver; she works in a store.

who-people

that-things, animals

which- special things, unique things

 

“Fatima’s neighbour, who is 86 years old, still lives on her own.”

“Marta has some nice boots that she got from a fancy store in Tokyo.”

 

-         commas around adjective clauses – complicated  

- other words less important: ‘whom’ ‘whose’ ‘where’

 

COMPOUND COMPLEX

e.g. Mei loves to eat chocolate, but Junko doesn’t like it because she is allergic to it.

I don’t want to go to the party, but you should go if you want to.
