    Jestice/English 2 Name: ________________________________________ Period: __________________ Date: ___________________ Grammar for Sophomores—40 points I. Commas Define an independent clause . __________________________________________________________ Big Kid Comma Rules . Rule #1: Use commas to separate items in a series. This independent clause forms a simple sentence. Examples: I love reading, writing, and hiking. I wrote a book, went hiking, and cooked dinner. Write two sentences, using the rule. 1. 2. Jestice/English 2 Rule #2: Use a comma after an introductory word group, which is called a dependent clause. This forms a complex sentence. Examples: After the school year finishes, I am going on vacation. Inside the cave, the mountain lion watches intruders. Write two sentences, using the rule. 3. 4. Rule #3: Use a comma to combine independent clauses BEFORE a coordinating conjunction (FANBOYS). This forms a compound sentence. Examples: The spaceship landed, and the alien opened the door. I liked the cake, but the icing was too sweet. Write two sentences, using the rule. 5. 6. Jestice/English 2 If you join independent clauses with only a comma, that is called a COMMA SPLICE!!!!!!!!!

  • Independent Clauses Are Strong a Single Independent Clause Is the Same As a Simple Sentence
    Xu°ba lJll ege Writing& Language Development Center Clauses: Independent & Dependent A clause is a word group containing a subject and verb pair. If a clause can stand alone, it is independent. If a clause cannot stand alone, it is dependent. Independent clauses are strong A single independent clause is the same as a simple sentence. An independent clause contains at least one subject-verb pair, expresses a complete thought, and can be ended with a period: Bob and Marcie love Thai food. They eat there often and bring all their friends. Bowling is fun. Bowling shoes are stinky and sweaty. A single independent clause may have compound subjects (Bob and Marcie), compound verbs (eat and bring), compound adjectives (stinky and sweaty) or other compound elements. Joining independent clauses Coordinating conjunctions join independent clauses. They are preceded by a comma when they join independent clauses (but not necessarily when they join other compound elements). Here are the coordinating conjunctions: ,for ,or ,and ,yet ,nor ,so ,but You may combine independent clauses with a semicolon or with a comma plus coordinating conjunction: Bob and Marcie love Thai food; they eat there often and bring all their friends. Bowling is fun, but bowling shoes are stinky and sweaty. You may join more than two independent clauses using the same methods: Bowling is fun, but bowling shoes are stinky and sweaty, so we always bring thick socks. When you combine independent clauses, you create a compound sentence. You may NOT try to join independent clauses with only a comma. This is an error called a comma splice.

  • The Relative Verb Forms of Cuwabo (Bantu P34) As Contextually Oriented Participles
    This is the pre-final version of a paper published in Linguistics 2020, 58(2), 463-491 The relative verb forms of Cuwabo (Bantu P34) as contextually oriented participles Rozenn Guérois Denis Creissels Ghent University University of Lyon Abstract. Cuwabo (Bantu P34, Mozambique) illustrates a relativization strategy, also attested in some North-Western and Central Bantu languages, whose most salient characteristics are that: (a) the initial agreement slot of the verb form does not express agreement with the subject (as in independent clauses), but agreement with the head noun; (b) the initial agreement slot of the verb form does not express agreement in person and number-gender (or class), but only in number-gender; (c) when a noun phrase other than the subject is relativized, the noun phrase encoded as the subject in the corresponding independent clause occurs in post-verbal position and does not control any agreement mechanism. In this article, we show that, in spite of the similarity between the relative verb forms of Cuwabo and the corresponding independent verb forms, and the impossibility of isolating a morphological element analyzable as a participial formative, the relative verb forms of Cuwabo are participles, with the following two particularities: they exhibit full contextual orientation, and they assign a specific grammatical role to the initial subject, whose encoding in relative clauses coincides neither with that of subjects of independent verb forms, nor with that of adnominal possessors. 1. Introduction In the languages of Sub-Saharan Africa, it is very common that the verb forms found in relative clauses are different from those found in the corresponding independent clauses.

    The Learning Hub Clauses & Phrases Writing Handout Series Grammar, Mechanics, & Style When constructing sentences, writers will use different building blocks of clauses and phrases to construct varied sentences. This handout will review how those phrases and clauses are constructed and where they can be placed in a sentence. Clauses Dependent Clauses A dependent clause has a subject and a verb but does not express a complete idea and cannot stand alone as a simple sentence. The two clauses below do not express a complete idea because of the subordinator at the beginning of the clause. Subordinators are words that commonly used to make independent clauses dependent clauses that help a writer connect ideas together and explain the relationship between clauses. Common subordinators like after, although, because, before, once, since, though, unless, until, when, where, and while come at the beginning of the clause. Subordinator Verb Since it is going to rain soon Subject Common Subordinators After Before Since When Although Even though Then Where As Even if Though Whether Because If Until While Independent Clauses An independent clause has a subject and a verb, expresses a complete idea, and is a complete sentence. The soccer game was cancelled Subject Verb Independent clauses are also referred to as simple sentences or complete sentences. Combining Clauses When combining independent and dependent clauses, there is a simple rule to remember. If the dependent clause comes before the independent clause, there must be a comma that separates the two clauses. If the dependent clause comes after the independent clause, then no comma is needed.

  • WRITING TIPS from the Writing Instructors at the Academic Support Center
    WRITING TIPS From the Writing Instructors at the Academic Support Center WRITING CLEAR SENTENCES The key to accurate and clear sentences lies in simply identifying CLAUSES. There are 2 types of clauses: INDEPENDENT and DEPENDENT. They both have a subject and a verb, but only an independent clause can stand alone. All dependent clauses must be joined to an independent clause. All sentences must have at least ONE independent clause and may also have one or more dependent clauses. All sentences and clauses have at least one subject and one verb. Identifying all subjects and verbs in the sentence precedes identifying the type of clause(s) in the sentence. A sentence with just one independent clause is a simple sentence. A sentence with independent and dependent clause(s) is a complex sentence, and a sentence with 2 or more independent clauses is a compound sentence. Properly identifying the type of clauses in the sentence will lead to accurate punctuation and to the elimination of comma splices, run-on sentences, and sentence fragments. TIPS FOR FINDING SUBJECTS AND VERBS IN A SENTENCE OR CLAUSE First, find the VERB(S) in the sentence, which can lead you to the SUBJECT(S). The verb may be either an action word (to run) or a state-of-being word (it was). The verb may also be more than one word (he can run). - Next, identify the SUBJECT(S) in the sentence, usually that to which the verb refers. Some things to remember about the subject: The subject, although it usually precedes the verb, does not always do so.

  • Infinitive Clause Syntax in the Gospels
    INFINITIVE CLAUSE SYNTAX IN THE GOSPELS by Edgar J. Lovelady Submitted in partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Master of Theology in Grace Theological Seminary May 1976 Accepted by the Faculty of Grace Theological Seminary in partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree Master of Theology Examining Committee James L. Boyer Homer A. Kent Jr. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS It is not always the case that one can complete his advanced theological degree with thesis advisors who were the student's first teachers of Greek 18 years previously. It is also not always the case that one is allowed the freedom to go out on a theoretical limb to pur- sue a project which is somewhat a departure from traditional topics in theology. Happily, both of these exceptions blended effectively in the advising and production of this study. The natural modesty of both of my advisors, Dr. James Boyer and Dr. Homer A. Kent, Jr., prevents me from heaping upon them the praise for their scholarship and counsel that is their due. But I should like them and the readers of this thesis to know just how deeply I appreciate their contributions to my work. Just about all of the Greek I now know and recently have had the joy of teaching, is attributable to the efforts of these men of God. I have profited from their insights in courses in grammar, exegesis, tex- tual criticism, extra-Biblical Koine, and classical Greek. Indeed, many of the essential concepts in this work have been either shaped or tem- pered by their knowledge, and a part of their earthly satisfaction should be to see their own work extended through their students.

  • Rules for Using Commas
    Rules for Using Commas WHY USE A COMMA? Commas serve a variety of uses, but their main purposes are to indicate a pause in the sentence or to clarify meaning for the reader. TERMS TO KNOW TO UNDERSTAND COMMA RULES: Clause: A group of words that contains both a subject and a verb Example: Patrick loves music. Types of clauses: ● Independent clause: A clause that contains a subject and a verb and can stand alone as a sentence ○ Example: Jim studied for his chemistry quiz. ● Dependent clause: A clause that cannot stand alone as a sentence. Therefore, it depends on being linked with an independent clause to form a complete sentence. ○ Example: Jim studied for his chemistry quiz after he finished his English Composition essay. ● Essential clause: In a sentence with an ambiguous/general noun, an essential clause limits this noun and tells us “which one?” ○ Example: The woman who interviewed you is my sister. ● Nonessential clause: A clause that describes a noun, but is not necessary to define an ambiguous noun ○ Example: My uncle, who is eighty years old, walks three miles every day. Coordinating conjunction: A word used to combine two independent clauses. You can remember the independent clauses with the acronym FANBOYS: For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, So Example: Sarah is an undergraduate student, but she is already conducting independent research. HOW TO USE COMMAS: Dependent Clause: Do not put a comma after the main clause when it is followed by a dependent clause. ● Example with mistake: I walked to campus, while listening to music. ● Correction: I walked to campus while listening to music.
