  8. Clauses, and Conjunctions • [The judges choose ] [whoever had the highest scores.] • {Theresa ran the concession ]and [she sold the goods] [when it opened.] • [Zachery showered ][after the race was completed.] • [Ellen went on a shopping spree ]and [then she ate dinner] [when her credit card was maxed out]. • [The doctors examined the children ][who came to the clinic.]

[ ] • CIRCLE all subordinating conjunctions. • Underline the subject once and the verb twice. • Label each clause as ind. or dep. • Label each sentence type. • Correlative conjunctions: either, or neither, nor • Either [Sally will ride in your car], or[ she will not attend the concert.]= compound

  10. Using a comma is NOT Optional. • Always use a comma before a FANBOY. • Always use a comma after a transition or direct address. • Always use a comma after an introductory dependent clause. • Always use a comma when using an appositive brushstroke. • Always use a comma when listing items. • Always use a comma with a dialogue expression.

  11. Correlative Conjunctions: • Come in pairs. If there are not two, then its not correlative. • Either, or, neither, nor then, so • Neither my class nor the seventh grade classes knew their parts of speech definitions. • Either the sixth graders, or the seventh graders will need to practice more often with their definitions.

  12. Complex vs Compound Sentences: • Compound has two independent clauses. • EX: Bethany walked to the store, so I asked her to pick up a gallon of milk. • Complex : has one independent clause and one dependent clause. • EX: When Bethany walked to the store, I asked her to buy a gallon of ice cream. • EX: Bethany walked to the store after I asked her to buy a gallon of milk.
