  2. How to Create a Pattern 1 Sentence: • Compound sentence: semicolon no conjunction • S_______V: S_______V

  3. Explanation • These sentences help join two short simple sentences having two closely related ideas. Use a semicolon but no conjunction. • Most pattern 1 sentences have only two clauses but you can have more than that.

  4. The “DON’TS” of Pattern 1 Sentences • Run-on sentences and comma splices are common errors. Example of a run-on: My cat lost her ball I don’t know where. Example of a comma splice: The plant wilted, I forgot to water it.

  5. Don’ts contd. A fused or run-on sentence has no punctuation marks between two sentences that are being joined. A comma splice occurs when you use a comma rather than a period, semicolon, or colon to separate the two sentences joined.

  6. Other Common Errors • Using subordinating words: because, if, when, after, etc. • Fragments, for example: At the game, the reason for the loss in yardage being the broken shoestring on the left guard’s shoe.

  7. When to Use this Pattern • Use this pattern when you talk about similar ideas in several sentences. • After combining these ideas, you will have a single but more distinctive sentence. • When revising a piece of writing, look for small sentences with similar topics and use this pattern to combine them.

  8. Examples • Gloria, try on these jeans; they seem to be your size. • Some people dream of being something; others stay awake and are. • Reading is the easy part; remembering takes more effort.

  9. Examples • Waking up is never fun; students do not enjoy going to back to school. • Weekends are enjoyable; there's no need to worry about school.

  10. When and Why You use this when you talked about similar ideas in several sentences. If you combine these ideas, you will have a single, more powerful sentence.

  11. Which is the Pattern 1 Sentence? • He is courageous, smart, athletic. • She likes to play basketball and soccer and volleyball. • The food is very inexpensive; I paid less than five dollars for it. • She didn’t study for her test; therefore she did not pass.

  12. QUIZ! • She likes to swim; she goes swimming everyday. • It is raining outside; it is also thundering. • He studies a lot; maybe 10 hours. • Yesterday was the first day of school; it was very fun. • I like peaches; it’s good.

  13. Review • COMPOUND SENTENCE;COMPOUND SENTENCE. • Avoid a run- on sentence and the comma splice • Make sure both sentences can stand by itself
