  1. SENTENCE TYPES SIMPLE, COMPOUND, COMPLEX, COMPOUND-COMPLEX

  2. Subject • The subject of a sentence is the person, place, thing, or idea that is doing or being something. • dog, Ms. Brunson, Chili’s, my soul

  3. Verb • Verbs are a class of words used to show the performance of an action (do, throw, run), existence (be), possession (have), or state (know, love) of a subject. To put it simply a verb shows what something or someone does.

  4. CLAUSES • A clauseis a group of related words containing a subject and a verb • An independent clausecan stand on its own • She is older than her brother. • A dependent clause cannot stand on its own • Since she is older than him, she can tell him what to do. • (Subordinating conjunction: will review later in the slides.)

  5. SIMPLE SENTENCES • one independent clause • Can stand alone • Example: • We drove from Connecticut to Tennessee. Lone Ranger

  6. COMPOUND SENTENCE • More than one independent clause • Contains one FANBOYS(aka coordinating conjunctions): • For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, So • Example: • We were exhausted, butwe arrived in time. i.e. love birds

  7. COORDINATING CONJUNCTION • FANBOYS: • For • And • Nor • But • Or • Yet • So * A semi-colon can also be used in the place of a “comma conjunction” as long as the two independent clauses relate to one another.*

  8. COMPLEX SENTENCES • One independent clause, and at least one dependent clause • Contains a subordinating conjunction: establishes a connection from the independent clause to the dependent clause • Examples: • Since he loved acting, he refused to give up his dream of being in the movies. • Unless we act now, all is lost. i.e. Disney World
