7. Clauses –NOTES 7.19B, 7.19Avii • An independent (Main)clause is the same as a simple sentence. It has a subject and a predicate (verb). It may also have an object and modifiers, such as adjectives, adverbs, and/or phrases. • A dependent (subordinate) clause is a group of related words that contains a subject and a verb but that cannot stand alone. It requires the addition of an independent clause to make it a complete thought.

8. Sentence Types –NOTES 7.19B, 7.19Avii • Compound Sentences are made up of 2 independent (main) clauses joined together by a comma and a coordinating conjunction (FANBOYS) OR by a semicolon. • Complex Sentences are made up of at least one independent clause and a dependent clause joined together through the use of a subordinating conjunction.

9. Compound Sentences- Activity7.19B, 7.19Avii Separate the independent (Main) clauses by circling the coordinating conjunction (FANBOYS). Label each clause as Ind/Main • The cat was unsuccessful in his attempt to catch the mouse, and the mouse was equally as unlucky in his attempt to get the cheese. • The dog had watched all of this, but he had refused to become involved. • The mouse could wait until dark, or he could risk a daylight raid on the pantry. • The cat usually slept during the day, yet curiosity held him at the corner of the kitchen.

10. Complex Sentences- ACTIVITY7.19B, 7.19Avii Separate the independent (Main) clauses from the Dependent (Subordinate) Clauses with a slash mark. Then label each clause as either Ind/Main or Dep/Sub • After he gave it some thought, the mouse decided to wait until later for his trek. • The cat fell asleep on the warm kitchen because he was deprived of sleep the night before. • When the mouse heard the soft snoring of his sleeping nemesis, he scurried to the pantry and grabbed enough food for a week. • The dedicated, feline sleuth keeps his nightly vigil even though the foresighted mouse will not be venturing out this week.

11. Complex Sentences- Commas- NOTES 7.19B, 7.19Avii • When a complex sentence begins with a dependent (subordinate) clause, a comma is needed to separate it from the independent (main) clause. • When a complex sentence begins with the independent (main) clause the subordinating conjunction that begins the dependent (subordinate) clause acts to separate the clauses so no comma is needed.

12. Complex Sentences- Commas- ACTIVITY Add Commas where needed 7.19B, 7.19Avii 1. When he handed in his homework he forgot to give the teacher the last page. 2. The teacher returned the homework after she noticed the error. 3. The students are studying because they have a test tomorrow.4. After they finished studying Juan and Maria went to the movies. 5. Juan and Maria went to the movies after they finished studying.

13. Subject Verb Agreement-NOTES7.19Av • Singular subjects need singular verbs; plural subjects need plural verbs. • My brother is a nutritionist. • My sisters are mathematicians. • Sometimes modifiers will get between a subject and its verb, but these modifiers must not confuse the agreement between the subject and its verb. • The mayor, who has been convicted along with his four brothers on four counts of various crimes but who also seems, like a cat, to have several political lives, is finally going to jail.

14. Subject Verb Agreement-ACTIVITY7.19Av The trick is to identify the subject and ignore the prepositional phrase. • That silk flower by the candles (look, looks) real. • One of my son’s worst habits (is, are) leaving an assortment of dirty plates on the kitchen counter. • The rust spots on the back of Emily’s car (need, needs) to be cleaned with a special polish. • The collection of medicine bottles in my parents’ bathroom (overflow, overflows) the cabinet shelves. • 10.
