Conjunction ReviewConjunctions combine words, sentences, ideas.
Conjunctions help to show a relationship.
There are three types of conjunctions: subordinate, coordinate, and correlative
There are only 7 coordinate conjunctions (FANBOYS). Always in the middle of a sentence.
There are many subordinate conjunctions. They can be in the middle or beginning.
There are several correlative conjunctions. They are always in pairs.Slide8

Task 1: WorksheetComplete the Conjunction Worksheet. Share your answers with your class. Put it in your binder. Slide10
Unit 2: Sentence TypesSlide11
4 TypesSimple = Independent Clause
Compound
= Independent Clause + Independent Clause
Complex
= Independent Clause + Dependent Clause
Compound-Complex
= Independent + Independent + Dependent Slide12
ClausesClauses are a group of words that have a
subject
and a
predicate
.
Essential Questions:
What is a subject? What is a predicate?
Can you find them in a sentence?Slide13
Subject and PredicateSubjectAlways a noun/pronoun.
It tells us who or what the clause is about.
It is usually (but not always) towards the beginning of the
clause.
Predicate
Always a verb.
It tells us what the subject is doing (action verb) or what the subject is like (linking verb).
It usually (but not always) comes after the subject. Slide14
TASK 1Complete the worksheets on subject and predicate. Slide15
Journal 4
Write five sentences with a coordinating conjunction (FANBOYS) and five with a subordinate conjunction (ABBI SAW A WUWU).
I like pizza
and
tacos.
1. I got an A
because
I studied.
2.
3.
4.
5. Slide16
Journal 5Write one sentence for each coordinating conjunction:
F
or – (it’s a fancy way of saying “because”)
A
nd – (that’s easy!)
N
or – (tell me two things you won’t do)
B
ut – (tell me something that is opposite)
O
r – (give me two options)
Y
et – (tell me something that doesn’t make sense)
S
o – (tell me why you did something)Slide17
Moving OnNow that we know what a subject and a predicate are, we can go back to learning about CLAUSES.
Review:
Subject
– Who/What the sentence is about (Noun or Pronoun)
Predicate
– What the subject is doing OR What the subject is like (Verb)Slide18
ClausesA group of words with a subject and predicate is called a CLAUSE. There are two types of clauses:
Independent Clause
– This is a fancy word for a sentence. It is a complete thought.
Dependent Clause
– Dependent clauses look like sentences, but they are
not a complete thought
. This usually happens when there is an
subordinate conjunction (ABBI SAW A WUWU)
in front of the clause.Slide19
Independent or Dependent?Complete thought or not?The boy ran in the street.
Yesterday, I got sick.
Because he went to Florida.
But he is my friend.
I love her, but she doesn’t love me back. Slide20
TASK 2Complete the worksheets on “Dependent and Independent Clauses.”
Essential Questions:
Can you tell the difference between a complete and
incomplete sentence?Slide21
Journal # 6Write 5 independent clauses.Write 5 dependent clauses (remember ABBI SAW a WUWU).Slide22
Journal 7A dependent clause (or subordinate clause) is a group of words that has a subject and a predicate, BUT it is
not
a complete thought (and therefore not a complete sentence). Usually, dependent clauses start with a subordinate conjunction (ABBI SAW A WUWU).
Write ten subordinate clauses. Slide23
Remember: 4 TypesSimple = Independent Clause
Compound
= Independent Clause + Independent Clause
Complex
= Independent Clause + Dependent Clause
Compound-Complex
= Independent + Independent + Dependent Slide24
Simple1 independent clause
Examples:
I ran.
My friend loves to eat cheese pizza on the weekends with his mom and his sister who lives in Iowa. Slide25
Compound2 or more independent clauses
Note
: Independent clauses are usually connected with a comma and a coordinate conjunction (FANBOYS)
Examples
:
Jesse wants to go skiing for Christmas
, but
Jeff wants to go to Florida.
English is my favorite class
, so
I usually do well in it
. Slide26
Complex
Independent Clause +
Dependent Clause
Dependent Clause
+ Independent Clause
Note
: Dependent Clauses MUST have a subordinate conjunction (ABBI SAW A WUWU) in front of it.
Note
:
If
the sentence starts with a dependent clause
,
it must have a comma separating the two clauses (just like this sentence).
Examples:
If
I study
,
I will do well on this quiz
.
I will do well on this quiz
if
I study
. Slide27
Compound-Complex2 independent clauses + dependent clause
TIP
: It must have a FANBOYS and an ABBI SAW A WUWU.
Example:
I like fruit
,
and
I like salad
because
I am trying to be healthy.Slide28
TASK 3Complete the worksheet that makes you identify the three main types of sentences: simple, compound, and complex. Slide29
Journal # 8Compound Sentence PracticeThere are seven coordinate conjunctions (FANBOYS). Write a
compound sentence
with each one. Remember, you must have a comma before the conjunction in order to get credit on your upcoming quiz. Slide30
Notes: Compound SentencesCompound Sentences must have a coordinate conjunction (FANBOYS) in them. There are only seven of them…
FOR – shows cause; a fancy word for because
AND – shows addition
NOR – shows that two options are not good
BUT – shows contrast or opposite idea
OR – provides a second option
YET – shows unexpected outcome
SO – shows effectSlide31
Task 4Using three different colored pencils, complete the worksheet titled “Sentence Types – Writing Practice.” Slide32
Journal # 5__________________, for ________________.
__________________, and _______________.
__________________, nor _______________.
__________________, but _______________.
__________________, or ________________.
__________________, yet ________________.
__________________, so _________________.Slide33

to make a complex sentences.
D.C. + comma +
I.C
.
I.C
. + D.C.
Remember – You need a subordinate conjunction (ABBI SAW A WUWU) in order to make a dependent clause.
