  1. Syntax [part 2] By: Zxena, Ellie, Tyrelle, Kristian

  2. Coordination • Definition: A reference to the equivalent importance of two clauses. • Example: The bowl of squid eyeball stew is hot and delicious. The squid eyeball stew is so thick that you can eat it with a fork or spoon.

  3. Coordinated Clauses Definition: The loose structure of the long second sentence and ugliness, the narrator's ironic reservations • Example: I like ice cream but I hate chocolate'

  4. Subordinate Clauses • A group of words that has both a subject and verb but (unlike an independent clause) cannot stand alone as a sentence. • Examples: -“After Amy sneezed all over the tuna salad” -”Who ate handfuls of Cheerios with his hands”

  5. Parallelism Definition: The relationship among the parts of a sentence through making the elements of a series or in pairs of words, phrases or clauses. • Example: You need to work quickly and decisively. He was a prolific author, writing poems, short stories, novels, and screenplays.

  6. Parallel Clause • Definition: Serves to builds toward a climax • Example: Ashley likes to ski, to swim and to jump. This is correct and uses parallel structure. An incorrect version of this sentence would read: Ashley likes to ski, to swim and jumping.

  7. Loose/ Cumulative Sentence • Definition: Presents ideas in the order of subject-verb objective • Example: Florida is a great vacation spot for families, with Disney World, Universal Studios, and Sea World.

  8. Periodic Sentence • A complex sentence in which the main clause comes last and is preceded by the subordinate clause. • Examples: -”In spite of heavy snow and cold temperatures, the game continued.” -”Because they are independent, take care of themselves, and purr, I prefer cats over dogs
