  1. Lc 1.3 Use Subordination, Coordination, Apposition, And Other Devices To Indicate Clearly The Relationship Between Ideas.

  2. Clause • A group of words containing a subject and a verb and forming part of a compound or complex sentence. • Example: • Mrs. Mazzotta is running five miles today.

  3. Independent Clause • What is an independent Clause? • Independent Clause: An independent clause is a group of words that contains a subject and verb and expresses a complete thought. • An independent clause is a sentence that can stand alone • Example: • Jim studied in the Sweet Shop for his chemistry quiz.

  4. Subordinate Clause (Dependent) • Dependent Clause: has only a noun or adjective or adverb within the sentence, and can not stand alone. Usually, we use conjunctions to connect clauses • Example: • When Jim studied in the Sweet Shop for his chemistry quiz . . . • What happened when he studied? The thought is incomplete

  5. Conjunction • After at • Although than • As that • Because though • Before unless • Even until • If when • Even whenever • though where • If wherever • in order whether • That while • Once than • Provided so • That since • Rather than

  6. Colon ::::::: • When do you use a colon? • Student writers, and many other writers, too, frequently confuse the functions of colons and semicolons. Both are internal stop signs. Like commas and dashes, they stand inside a sentence, not at its end. • A colon usually introduces the reader to whatever follows it, signaling: “Here is something you should pay attention to.” A colon is used to introduce some more information about something previously mentioned in the sentence. • Example: • There were two pets in the house: a dog and a cat. • An independent clause and a dependent clause

  7. SemiColon ;;;;;;;;; • When do you use a semicolon? • A semicolon, by contrast, joins together two independently expressed ideas; it also implies a relationship between them. • Example: • No one was hurt in the accident; the only real injury was a broken finger. • Two independent clauses

  8. Comma ,,,,,,,,,, • When do you use a comma? The comma tells the reader to pause, just as the blinking yellow light tells a driver to slow down and proceed with caution. 1. When you are listing three or more items in a sentence, simply place a comma between each member of the list. • Example: Mr. Sanchez used the money that he won from the sweepstakes to buy a house, a car, and a small yacht 2. More often we glue two sentences together with a comma and conjunction (such as and or but). • I like to water ski, but I love to wakeboard too. 3. To Attach Words to the Front or Back of Your Sentence. • Example: However, I can eat twelve pancakes in one sitting.
