  1. 10: Summary + I’m the King of the Castle Wednesday 8th October LO: to evaluate our summary. & to appraise the use of sentence structure in the novel.

  2. Experienced writers use a variety of sentences to make their writing interesting and lively. Too many simple sentences, for example, will sound choppy and immature while too many long sentences will be difficult to read and hard to understand. 

  3. Simple Sentences are… SIMPLE! For example ‘The sand was golden.’ Or ‘The sun was hot.’

  4. Compound Sentences are… When you have two or more short, independent, simple sentences which are of equal weight you can join them together using CONJUNCTIONS. For example: The sea was rough. The sun was shining. By adding a conjunction we can make the two simple sentences into one compound sentence. For example: The sea was rough but the sun was shining. The most common conjunctions are: and, as, but, or, so

  5. Complex sentences are… When you make a compound sentence you are joining two or more simple sentences together with a conjunction. If you took the conjunction away, the sentences would be complete and they would still make sense. Complex sentences don't just divide into neat, complete, simple sentences if you take out the conjunctions. In complex sentences the conjunction is used to join together clauses. A clause is a group of words that contains a subject and a verb. Some of these clauses might be complete short sentences, but in a complex sentence at least one of them will depend on the conjunction for its meaning. In other words, if you take the conjunction away, the sentence won't divide into complete units that make sense by themselves!

  6. Cordoba flourishes in May, although it rains in January. Cordoba flourishes in May – Main clause (complete, short sentence) Although – Conjunction It rains in January – Subordinate clause (Called this because it doesn’t really make sense on its own!)

  7. I tried to speak Spanish, and my friend tried to speak French. COMPOUND When he handed in his homework, he forgot to give the teacher the last page. COMPLEX Some students like to study in the mornings. SIMPLE Alicia goes to the library to study everyday. SIMPLE Mark played football, so Maria went shopping. COMPOUND Kelly and Beth went to the movies after they finished studying COMPLEX
