Copy down these three sentences:1. Although scholars are not 100% sure his birthdate, they think

he probably lived around 700

B.C.

Homer’s two epic poems( The Iliad and The Odyssey) became the basic textbook for every young Greek

Because the epic poems were originally told orally, it was monumental for Homer to put them into written form.Slide7

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.

.Slide32

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

,

he was late to the interview.

Cat hair clung to Marvin’s pant legs. He still got the job.

Even though cat hair clung to Marvin’s pant

legs, he

still got the job.

The

first

clause is

less

important.

The

second

clause has

more

emphasis because its thought is

complete

.Slide35

Use

no punctuation if you subordinate the second

of the two clauses.

Marvin smiled at his success. Cat hair wafted in his wake.

Bell Ringers Feb 11/12

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

3. Use a semicolon to separate groups of words or items in a series that already contain commas. Slide69

What do all of these sentences have in common?

The statue

is being

visited by hundreds of tourists every year.

The house had been broken into by someone while the owners were on vacation. Slide88

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
