Grammar Prepositional Phrase (Activity 5.5, p346)

A prepositional phrase consists of a preposition, its object, and any modifiers of the object. Common prepositions include about, across, in, by, after, onto, until, and up. A preposition shows the relationship or connection between its object and some other word.

From the text: “by” shows the relationship between “1950s” and “Jim Crow” in the sentence, “By the 1950s, Jim Crow was the colloquialism whites and blacks routinely used for the complex system…” Asyndeton (Activity 5.11, p368)

Asyndeton is the omission of the conjunctions that ordinarily join coordinate words or clauses (as in “I came, I saw, I conquered” instead of “I came, and I saw, and I conquered”) Punctuation in Quotations (Activity 5.17, p381)

A direct quotation can be set off from the rest of a sentence by a comma, a question mark, or an exclamation mark.

Commas and periods are placed inside quotation marks.

Colons and semicolons are placed outside closing quotation marks.

Question marks and exclamation marks are placed inside if the quotation itself is a question or exclamation. Compound Sentences (Activity 5.18, p382)

An independent clause is a group of words that contains a subject and a verb and can stand alone as a sentence.

A sentence having more than one independent clause is a compound sentence.

One way to combine two such clauses is to use a coordinating conjunction: and, or, but.

Unless the clauses are both short and simple, you need to place a comma before the coordinating conjunction between the two independent clauses.

Example: I did not remember our moth, but Jem did… Parallel Structure (Activity 5.22, p394)

Parallel structure is the use of the same grammatical structures – words, phrases, or clauses—to balance related ideas. Writers perform this balancing act because it makes their writing more effective. Readers can see the commonalities and relationships clearly when the structures are parallel.

Example: …the assumption…that all Negroes lie, that all Negroes are basically immoral beings, that all Negro men are not to be trusted around our women. … (parallel adjective clauses) Character Chart
