  3. types of essays/paragraphs • Illustration • Narration • Description • Process Analysis (giving directions)

  4. Vocabulary(Commonly confused words) • What are the MOST COMMON words on the list?

  5. Identify Sentence vsFragment • To be a sentence it needs: • Subject (who/what is doing the action) • Verb (the action) • A complete thought. • Watch out for those prepositional phrases! • Prepositional phrases can NEVER have the subject or the verb!

  6. Run-ons (Pg 145) • Run-ons are independent clauses that have been combined incorrectly. • There are several types: • The AND run-on • The Fused run-on • The comma splice We will be going into detail on each one

  7. The and run on (pg 146) • The AND run-on: two or more relatively long independent clauses with a coordinating conjunction without any punctuation. • I met Charlyce in a yoga class a the YWCA and we liked each other immediately and we soon became friends and we often hang out at each other’s houses.

  8. The Fused run on (pg 146) • The Fused run-on : two or more independent clauses run together without any punctuation. • I met Charlyce in a yoga class at the YWCA we soon became friends.

  9. Preposition (pg 41!!!!!) • Pg 41 • Video - http://ttosspon.wikispaces.com/Grammar+Rocks%21#Prepositions • Over the rainbow.

  10. Finding the Subject The person/thing doing the action

  11. Commands and Requests • In 'commands' and 'requests' the subject is usually not stated. The predicate is the entire sentence. The pronoun 'you' is understood to be the subject. Examples are: Listen! Please see me. Be careful. [You] [You] [You]

  12. Questions • Questions frequently begin with a verb or a helping verb or the words 'who, whom, what, when, where, why,or how.' examples are: • Did he reply? Have you read Nikki Giovanni's poetry? What do they sing? • In these cases, the subject generally follows the verb or helping verb. • To find the subject of a question, rearrange the words to form a statement. • Example: He did reply. You have read Nikki Giovanni's poetry. They do sing. Verb Verb Verb

  13. Inverted Sentence Order • A sentence written in 'inverted order', in which the predicate comes before the subject, serves to add emphasis to the subject. • Examples are: Under the moonlight sat the old cypress tree. Above the forest circled three hawks. Verb Verb

  14. Here and There • The word 'there' or 'here is' is almost never the subject. • When the word 'there' or 'here' begins a sentence and is followed by a form of the verb 'to be', the subject follows the verb. • Example: Here 'are' (P) the 'quilts' (S)from my grandma. • Rephrase it!The quiltsarefrom my grandmother.

  15. Prepositional Phrases • Remember, a word in a prepositional phrase is never the subject. • Prepositions are words that tell where or what kind. Word list on pg 41:
