Independent and Dependent ClausesSlide8
Independent Clauses
An independent clause is a group of words that contains a subject and verb and expresses a complete thought. An independent clause is a sentence:
Odysseus
fought
in the Trojan War.Slide9
Dependent Clause
A dependent clause is a group of words that contains a subject and
verb
but does not express a complete thought. A dependent clause
cannot be a sentence
. Often a dependent clause is marked by a
dependent marker word.After Odysseus fought in the Trojan War . . . (What happened after he fought? The thought is incomplete.)Slide10
Dependent Marker Word
A dependent marker
word is a word added to the beginning of an independent clause that makes it into a dependent clause.
After
Odysseus fought in the Trojan War, he set out on an epic journey.Slide11
Dependent Marker Word
Some common dependent markers are: after
,
although
,
as
, as if, because, before, even if, even though, if
, in order to, since,
though
, unless, until, whatever, when, whenever, whether, and while.Slide12

Coordination and Subordination
Should I
coordinate
with
for
?
Or would it be better to
subordinate
with
because?Slide27
This presentation covers the differences between
coordination
and
subordination
and the relationship between
clauses
within a sentence.Slide28
A coordination and/or subordination item on an objective test might look like this
. . .Slide29
Sample Item
Jeremiah forgot to bring a pencil since he had to beg Amanda to borrow one of hers.
Since Jeremiah forgot to bring a pencil, he had to beg Amanda to borrow one of hers.
Even though Jeremiah forgot to bring a pencil, he had to beg Amanda to borrow one of hers.
Jeremiah forgot to bring a pencil since he had to beg Amanda to borrow one of hers.
Since Jeremiah forgot to bring a pencil, he had to beg Amanda to borrow one of hers.
Even though Jeremiah forgot to bring a pencil, he had to beg Amanda to borrow one of hers.
Is the subordination effective at
A
,
B
, or
C
?
Subordinating the
first
clause with
since
, as option
B
does, is correct.Slide30
Coordination gives
equal attention
to
two
items.
Use coordinating conjunctions: and, but, for, or, nor
,
yet
, and
so
.
Compound Sentences =Coordinating conjunctions
The dog ate Marvin’s favorite tie. The cat rubbed white hair on Marvin’s black suit.
The dog ate Marvin’s favorite tie
, and
the cat rubbed white hair on Marvin’s black suit.
Both clauses
could
stand
alone
. When
joined
with
and
,
they get
equal attention
.Slide31
You can also coordinate with a
semicolon.

Subordination gives
less attention
to
one
idea so that the
other has emphasis.Use subordinate conjunctions, such as because, even though, and when. Complex sentences = Subordinating conjunctions
Marvin tried to clean his suit. He was late to the interview.
Since
Marvin tried to clean his suit

second

more

no punctuation if you subordinate the second
of the two clauses.

Identify if the sentences below are Simple, Compound, or Complex.Polyphemus
couldn’t keep his eye on Odysseus, and he paid the price
.
Even though Odysseus is crafty, his pride made him taunt Polyphemus, and several men died as a result.
Odysseus is an epic hero.Slide52
Compound sentences
The seven coordinating conjunctions used as connecting words at the beginning of an independent clause are for
,and
,
nor, but, or,
yet
, and so (FANBOYS) When the second independent clause in a sentence begins with a coordinating conjunction, a comma is needed before the coordinating conjunction:Polyphemus couldn’t keep his eye on Odysseus, and he paid the price. Slide53
Complex Sentences
A complex sentence has an independent clause joined by one or more dependent clauses. A complex sentence always has a subordinator such as because, since
,
after
,
although
, or when (and many others) or a relative pronoun such as that, who, or which.Even though Odysseus is crafty, his pride made him taunt Polyphemus, and several men died as a result. Slide54
Simple Sentence
A simple sentence, also called an independent clause, contains a subject and a verb, and it expresses a complete thought.Odysseus is an epic hero. Slide55

Understanding Active and Passive Voice
The Path to Effective WritingSlide89
Verbs and Voice
Voice
is the form a verb takes to indicate whether the subject of the verb performs or receives the action.
There are two types of voice:
active voice
and passive voice.Slide90
Active Voice
Active Voice
– indicates that the subject of the verb is acting
Because the subject does or "acts upon" the verb in such sentences, the sentences are said to be in the
active voice
.Slide91
Active Voice
These examples show that the
subject
is
doing
the verb's action.
The dog jumped onto the boy.The dog (subject) is doing the jumping (verb).Slide92
Passive Voice
In a
passive voice sentence
,
the subject and object flip-flop. The subject becomes the passive recipient of the action.
Because the subject is being "acted upon" (or is
passive), such sentences are said to be in the passive voice.Slide93
Passive Voice
These examples show the
subject
being acted upon by the verb.
The boy was jumped on by the dog.
Boy (
subject) was being jumped on (verb)Slide94
Reasons to Use the Active Voice
Most writers prefer to use active voice because it is more direct.
Compare
Active
: The waiter dropped the tray of food.
Passive
: The tray of food was dropped by the waiter.Slide95
Form of Passive Voice Verbs
Writers should be familiar with the forms of "to be" , often called linking verbs, so that they can easily identify the passive voice in their work.
Review the forms of "
to be
":
am, is, are, was, were, be, being, beenSlide96
Form of Passive Voice Verbs
Note the forms of "to be" in the examples of the verb "to kick" in various forms of the passive voice:
is
kicked----------------had
been
kicked
was kicked-------------is going to be kickedis being kicked---------will be kickedhas been kicked-------can be kicked
was being kicked------should be kickedSlide97
Form of Passive Voice Verbs
Examples:
Passive
: The cookies were eaten by the children.
Active:
The children ate the cookies.
Passive: The tunnels are dug by the gophers.
Active: The gophers dug the tunnels.Slide98
