  2. One A simple sentence expresses ONE complete thought.

  3. Every simple sentence has a subject and predicate.

  11. Practice:

  12. 2 + A compound sentence expresses two(or more) complete thoughts.

  13. To make a compound sentence, you can 1) join two simple sentences with a coordinating conjunction (and, but, or, nor, for, so, and yet).

  14. Practice I wanted to see an action movie. My boyfriend wanted to see a love story.

  15. and, but, or, nor, for, so, yet We read the recipe carefully and measured all the ingredients. The cake was a complete success.

  16. and, but, or, nor, for, so, yet There was an old man. Maybe he was a young man.

  17. and, but, or, nor, for, so, yet The captain knew the ship was going to go down. He never lost his cool.

  19. The final game sounded. The game was over.

  20. Everyone cheered loudly. The girls’ team had just beaten their rival.

  21. Never... …connect two simple sentences using both a semicolon and a coordinating conjunction.

  22. You won’t be happy with the results.

  23. Use subordinate conjunctions to create more complex sentences

  24. Reminder: a subordinate clause can not stand as a sentence by itself.

  25. It needs an independent clause to be added in order to make sense.

  26. Common subordinate conjunctions • after • although • as • as if • as though • because • before • if • since • though • unless • until • when • whenever • while

  27. Use a comma AFTER a subordinate clause

  28. Practice Unless you turn off the lights I won’t tell a ghost story.

  29. Because I skipped breakfast, I was starving by lunchtime.

  31. If you want to compete against Hans you had better lift those weights.

  32. After we got back from Montana I wanted to sleep for a week.

  33. Although many people associate Idaho with potatoes it’s also a great state for snowboarding.

  34. Do NOT use a comma BEFORE a subordinate clause • I was starving by lunchtime because I skipped breakfast. • Jaun sped through his science test as if he had become Albert Einstein.

  35. Practice • I get goose bumps whenever she smiles at me. • My mom won’t let me go to the Killers concert unless it’s on a weekend.

  36. Descriptive • People often have a favorite possession. Think about a possession you have that you consider your favorite. Write an essay describing this object and explaining why it is important to you.

  37. Narrative • Write a real or imagined story about a misunderstanding between people. It can be funny or serious. Tell how the misunderstanding causes problems for the characters and how these problems are resolved at the end. Develop your story with details.

  38. Expository • People often talk about entire generations having certain shared beliefs, interests, and attitudes (such as Generation X, the Baby generation, the World War II generation, and so on). What are some of the characteristics of your generation? Think of the things people in your age group have in common. Write an essay that explains the defining characteristics of your generation. Be specific in your explanation.

  39. Persuasive In some communities, boys and girls have the opportunity to attend gender-specific high schools. Only girls go to one high school, and only boys go to another high school. Write a persuasive essay taking a position on whether or not you favor gender-specific schools. Be sure to support your position with reasons, examples, and/or personal experiences.

  40. Persuasive • In a letter to your principal, discuss one school rule that you think should be changed. Explain why this rule should be changed and what the new rule should be. Provide support for your suggestion.
