This document discusses the basics of sentences, including the different types of sentences and the use of clauses and punctuation. It explains that a sentence contains a subject and a verb and makes complete sense on its own. There are four types of sentences: statements, questions, commands, and exclamations. The document also discusses main and subordinate clauses, noting that main clauses can stand alone as sentences while subordinate clauses provide extra information but not stand alone. Commas are used to separate items in lists and set off introductory phrases, tags, and parenthetical information to aid readers.
Periods are used at the end of sentences, with abbreviations, before decimals, and between dollars and cents. Question marks and exclamation points are used to end questions and sentences expressing strong emotion. Commas are used to separate introductory phrases from the main clause, in appositives, with independent clauses joined by conjunctions, and to separate items in a series.
This document provides an overview of sentences and sentence structures in English. It defines what constitutes a sentence and identifies the key elements of a subject and predicate. It describes the four basic types of sentences: simple, compound, complex, and compound-complex. It also covers sentence functions, common sentence errors like fragments and run-ons, and ways to correct run-on sentences.
The document discusses different types of phrases and clauses. It defines a phrase as a group of words that acts as a unit, usually built around a main word. Noun phrases are built around a noun. A clause contains a subject and verb and can form a complete sentence. The document provides examples of different phrases like noun phrases, prepositional phrases, and adverbial phrases. It also discusses clauses, auxiliary verbs, modal verbs, and determiners.
There are five main rules for using commas that are discussed in the document. The rules cover using commas before coordinating conjunctions in compound sentences, after prepositional phrases at the beginning of sentences, in complex sentences with dependent adverb clauses before independent clauses, after listing and time order signals, and to separate items in a series of three or more items.

This document discusses the basics of sentences including phrases, clauses, auxiliary verbs, and modal verbs. It defines phrases as groups of words that act as a unit, usually built around a main word. Phrases do not contain verbs and can be noun, prepositional, adjectival, or adverbial phrases. Clauses contain both a subject and a verb and can stand alone as a complete sentence. The document also discusses common auxiliary verbs like is, are, and has that help verbs and modal verbs like can, may, and must that express possibility or necessity.
This document discusses finite and non-finite verbs. A finite verb shows tense and has a subject, while a non-finite verb does not show tense or have a subject. The document provides examples of infinitives, gerunds, and participles as types of non-finite verbs. It also discusses clauses, types of sentences including simple, compound, complex and compound-complex, and includes exercises to identify verbs and sentence structures.
Adverb clauses powerpoint (ms standard 4c4)jeremybrent
This document discusses adverb clauses, which are groups of words that contain a subject and finite verb that describe or add to the meaning of a verb, adjective, or other adverb. It defines 8 types of adverb clauses: time, reason, concession, contrast, result, purpose, place, and manner. Examples are provided for each type introduced by common subordinating conjunctions like when, because, although, whereas, so that, where, and as.
This document discusses fragments, run-ons, and how to correct them. It defines a fragment as an incomplete sentence missing an essential element, and identifies common types of fragments. A run-on is formed when two complete sentences are incorrectly joined without proper punctuation. The two types of run-ons are fused sentences joined without punctuation and comma splices joined solely by a comma. The document provides examples and explains four main ways to correct fragments and run-ons: adding missing elements, attaching to another sentence, and separating or joining sentences using punctuation like periods, semicolons, or conjunctions.
This document provides tips for varying sentence structure to improve writing. It recommends varying sentence lengths by using conjunctions to join short sentences together. Both short and long sentences should be used. Sentence type, such as simple, compound, complex, and compound-complex sentences, should also be varied. Additionally, sentence beginnings can be varied by using prepositional phrases, adverbs, and -ing phrases. Resources for further information on sentence variation are also included.

Introduction to Clauses Welcome to your GBushraIshrat3
This document discusses different types of clauses, including independent clauses, dependent clauses, adverb clauses, and adjective clauses. It provides examples of each type of clause and how to identify them based on their use and structure. Adverb clauses typically begin with subordinating conjunctions and modify verbs, adjectives or other adverbs. Adjective clauses begin with relative pronouns like who, whom, whose, which, and that and are used like adjectives to modify nouns. The document emphasizes identifying clauses based on their function, not just the introductory words.
Punctuation is used to separate sentences and parts of sentences to make their meaning clear. The main punctuation marks are the period, question mark, exclamation mark, comma, colon, semicolon, parentheses, hyphen, apostrophe, quotation marks, and dash. Each punctuation mark has specific uses, such as commas separating elements in a list, periods ending sentences, question marks following questions, and quotation marks enclosing direct quotes.

The document discusses active and passive sentences, as well as root words, prefixes, and suffixes. Active sentences follow the subject-verb pattern and show what the subject is doing, while passive sentences focus on what happened and can omit or reveal who did the action using "by". Prefixes are added to the beginning of words to change their meaning, and you can determine a prefix's meaning by analyzing words that share it. Suffixes are added to the end of words to change grammar, such as indicating an action or adding an "er" or "est" for comparisons.

This document discusses formal and informal language and how it depends on audience and purpose. It explains that formal language is used in school and when writing to unknown people, avoiding contractions and using proper vocabulary and grammar. Standard English should be used in most school writing and unknown audiences to communicate formally. The audience is who is listening or reading, and the purpose is the reason for communicating - to entertain, inform, instruct, persuade or explain - which determines whether language is formal or informal.

1. The basics of sentences
Thinking about sentences, main and subordinate clauses.
Sentences – sentence types + punctuation; main and subordinate clauses; commas.
2. Sentences
A sentence is a group of words that work together as a unit
of meaning.
It starts with a capital letter.
It ends with a full stop, question or exclamation mark.
It makes sense on its own.
3. Sentences
There are 4 types of sentence:
a. Statements – tell you something:
- John walked down the road.
b. Questions – ask you something:
- Why did John walk down the road?
c. Commands (an order) tell you to do something:
- Walk down the road!
d. Exclamation (what/how) exclaim about something:
- What a long way to walk! How tall you have grown.
4. Reminder - clauses
A clause is a group of words built around a verb.
Clauses can be complete sentences.
The dog ate the bone.
The dog ate the bone before jumping onto the sofa.
The dog ate the bone, jumped onto the sofa and snoozed.
5. Main and Subordinate Clauses
• The main clause can stand on its own as a sentence.
The old man ran down the hill.
• It is the main thing in the sentence.
• The subordinate clause is an extra piece of information.
The old man ran down the hill after eating lunch.
6. Main and Subordinate Clauses
• Subordinate means ‘less important.
• Subordinate clauses do not make sense on their own.
… after eating lunch.
• Subordinate clauses need the main clause to make sense.
The dogs slept after eating lunch.
7. Main and Subordinate Clauses
• Subordinate clauses can be found in different places in a sentence:
• After the king ate the donut, the monkey slept.
• Rain falls when clouds get too heavy.
• Pete, who was feeling weary, sat down on a bench.
• After running for a long time, Bob sneezed until his glasses
fell off.
8. We use Commas to help the reader
1. In lists to separate items:
He picked up a lemon, an apple, three buns and a cake.
2. After fronted adverbials:
Slowly, she walked down the road.
Excited by the news, she skipped.
After that, turn on the machine.
Furthermore, many people believe in fresh food.
9. We use Commas to help the reader
3. After subordinate clauses that start sentences:
Hoping she would not be seen, she ran.
Because it was cold, they wrapped up warm.
4. After subordinate clauses that are tagged on:
• She ran, stumbling on the pavement.
• The cows stood still, bewildered by the noise.
10. We use Commas to help the reader
5. To indicate parenthesis (adding in extra information):
• Bill, the pirate’s son, ran for it.
• Bill, who was scared, ran for it.
• Bill, hoping he would be saved, ran for it.
6. In punctuating speech:
“Hello,” he said.
11. We use Commas to help the reader
