Slide1

Coordination and SubordinationSlide2

A clause contains both a subject and a predicate and is usually set apart by commas

or a

semicolon.

It

can either be

independent

, forming a sentence in its own right, or it can be

dependent

, where it is only a fragment. Slide3

Examples

Sally went to the store

,” contains a subject (Sally) and a predicate (went to the store) and is a full sentence on its own, so it is an

independent

clause.

When Sally went to the store

, she forgot to buy eggs,” contains a subject (Sally) and a predicate (went to the store), but the portion before the comma is not a full sentence, so it is a

dependent

clause.Slide4

In order to connect clauses together, one often has to use a

conjunction

.

There are two types of conjunction: coordinating and subordinating.Slide5

Coordinating Conjunctions

Coordinating conjunctions

are used to connect two

independent clauses

that are of equal importance. They typically go between the two clauses. Some common coordinating conjunctions can be remembered with the acronym fanboys, which stands for ForAndNorButOrYet

So

Steve loves to hike,

so

he spent his spring break attempting a section of the Appalachian trail.

Caroline couldn’t wait to go to her friend’s house,

but

she had to finish all of her homework first

.Slide6

Subordinating Conjunctions

Subordinating conjunctions

show that one part of a sentence

is

more important than another. They typically go at the beginning of the first clause in question, which will make it a

dependent

clause

.

There are too many subordinating conjunctions to list, but some common ones include “although, whenever, unless, because, since, whereas,” etc.

Although

Tim finished his test early, he did not do as well as his classmates

.

Since

Vera was ill, she wasn’t able to participate in the basketball game.
