  10. Example: “Yeah, okay, three weeks ago, you bought crunchy peanut butter but now you want the girls to play D & D – do you have a drug problem?” A Dash Sentence:A punctuation mark that indicates a sudden change in thought or tone, sets off a brief summary, or sets off a parenthetical part of a sentence. It often conveys a casual tone for the sentence.

  11. Example: “That's not an apology; that's simply an acknowledgment that I was right.” The Semicolon Sentence:This punctuation mark gives equal weight to two or more independent sentences; the syntactical balance reinforces parallel ideas and imparts equal importance to the sentences.

  12. Example: “Penny, while I subscribe to the ‘Many Worlds’ theory which posits the existence of an infinite number of Sheldons in an infinite number of universes, I assure you that in none of them am I dancing.” A Periodic Sentence:A sentence that makes sense only when the end of the sentence is reached.

  13. Example: While Leonard worked in the laboratory at the university, Sheldon installed a high-tech security system in their apartment. Subordinate Clause: While Leonard worked in the laboratory at the university, Independent Clause: Sheldon installed a high-tech security system in their apartment. A Complex Sentence:A sentence that contains both a Subordinate (Dependent) Clause and an Independent Clause.

  14. Example: “Well, well, well, if it isn't WilWheaton...the Green Goblin to my Spider-Man, the Pope Paul V to my Galileo, the Internet Explorer to my Firefox!” A Parallel Structure Sentence:A sentence that uses the same pattern of words to show that two or more ideas have the same level of importance.
