Complex sentences- adverb clauses

 

The three golden words for adverb clauses:

‘because’                                  ‘if’                                    ‘when’

 

These three words are the most commonly used for adverb clauses.

You can say a lot using ‘because’, ‘if’, and ‘when’.

e.g

Martia came to Canada as a refugee because there is a war in her country.

 

-two clauses        -independent clause, main clause, simple sentence

                               -dependent clause, subordinate clause

Grammar words, nomenclature- look it up on your own

 

 

Martia came to Canada as a refugee because of the war in her country. SIMPLE SENTENCE

Next week- causative verbs

Because there is a war in her country. fragment, casual talking, not good for writing

 

Because the bus broke down. casual talking

I was late because the bus broke down. writing COMPLEX SENT-ADV CL

 

 

TWO WAYS TO DO THIS:

1.    Martia came to Canada as a refugee because there is a war in her country. no comma

2.    Because there is a war in Martia’s country, she came to Canada as a refugee. Use a comma,

NOTE: Some teachers say to not begin a sentence with ‘because’. It’s ok.

 

Example:

I am going out for a dinner because it is my birthday. no comma

Since/because it is my birthday, I am going out for a dinner. comma

Your stylistic choice. What do you want to emphasize?

 

Because of my birthday, I am going out for a dinner.SIMPLE

I am going out for a dinner because of my birthday. SIMPLE

 

I am going out for a dinner because is my birthday. XXX

Since it’s your birthday, you can leave early today.

 

Martia came to Canada as a refugee because there is a war in her country.

Martia came to Canada as a refugee as there is a war in her country.

‘as’ is not used as much as ‘because’

Martia came to Canada as a refugee since there is a war in her country.

 

Martia came to Canada as a refugee because there is of a war in her country. SIMPLE

Martia came to Canada as a refugee because there is due to a war in her country. SIMPLE

 

Old-fashioned rule: Don’t start a sentence with ‘because’.

Not a  grammar error. You choice.

 

-‘if’ – maybe yes, maybe no, not sure yet

Jun will not go to the park if it rains tomorrow.

If it rains tomorrow, Jun will not go to the park.

If it is raining tomorrow, Jun will not go to the park.

 

An dependent clause needs a independent clause to be a sentence.

independent clause- mother

dependent clause- child

 

if you want

Let’s go downtown if you want.

 

 

 

 

 

STYLISTIC POINT: AVOID STARTING YOUR SENTENCES WITH LONG DEPENDENT CLAUSES: If the Bank of Canada continues to raise interest rates in an effort to curb inflation on core goods and services such as groceries, gas, and rent, consumers will be forced to continue tightening their belts.

Friendlier to the reader. They get the main idea first.

Consumers will be forced to continue tightening their belts if the Bank of Canada continues to raise interest rates in an effort to curb inflation on core goods and services such as groceries, gas, and rent.

IDIOM tighten your belt- spend less money

The prices of groceries has shot up in the past year, so we have had to tighten our belts.

 

REWRITE FOR SIMPLICITY

The prices of goods such as groceries, gas, and rent have been going up. Consumers are forced to tighten their belts. As a result, the Bank of Canada will continue to raise interest rates in an effort to curb inflation.

 

Long sentences ask a lot of the reader.

 

Please let me know if that time works for you.

Please let me know if that time is convenient for you.

Please let me know if you are available at the time.

 

 

-when- time
