Sentence Structure
Pg. 114 – Just as there are signal words to show time order and spatial order, there are also words and phrases that help your reader understand similarities and differences. Find the words that show similarities and differences in the model paragraph.
Two Varieties of EnglishAlthough US English and British English are mutually understandable
languages, there are quite a few differences. One difference is spelling. Some words are spelled one way the United States but spelt another way in Great Britain. A person goes to a British theatre but to a US theater. In US schools, students theorize, analyze and socialize, whereas British students theorise, analyse, and socialise. A second area difference is vocabulary. For example, the word college names two very different types of schools in the United States and Great Britain – university level in the United States and pre-university level in Great Britain. Also, British university students live in halls on campus and flats off campus, but US students live in dormitories on campus and apartments off campus. Finally, there are many differences in pronunciation. In Great Britain, the sound of a in the words path, laugh, aunt, plant and dance is like the a in father. In the United States, in contrast, the a sound in the words is like the a in car. All in all, though there are differences between the English spoken in the United States and the English spoken in the British Isles, we understand each other most of the time!

Sentence Types
There are four sentence types. We will discuss three types today.
pg. 189:
Simple SentencesCompound SentencesComplex Sentences
Simple Sentences
Simple sentences have one independent clause. An independent clause has a subject and a verb.
• Spring has arrived.• The flowers are blooming.• The sun is shining brightly.• People are walking and jogging in the park.
Simple Sentences use conjunctions to combined subjects or verbs. They do not combined two separate ideas.
Compound Sentences
Compound sentences have two independent clauses.
• The sun is shining, and there are no clouds in the sky.
• It was a beautiful day, so we decided to go to the skateboarding park.
Compound sentences use coordinating conjunctions. There are seven different coordinating conjunctions. We remember them by the word FANBOYS.
FANBOYS
• F• A• N• B• O• Y• S
for, yet, nor: pg 69
• For• And• Nor• But• Or• Yet• So
Yet has approximately the same meaning as “but”; that is it shows contrast or joins opposites. Use “yet” when the second part of the sentence says something unexpected or surprising.
For has the same meaning as “because”; use “fore” to introduce a reason or cause.
Nor means “not this and not that”; use “nor” to join two negative sentences.
And joins sentences that are alike
But joins sentences that are opposite or show contrast.
So joins sentences when the second sentence expresses the resultof something described in the first sentence.
Or joins sentences that give choices or alternatives.
and, but, so, or – pg 30
Complex Sentences
Complex sentences have one independent clause and one (or more) dependent clause.
• As soon as we arrived, we pu ton our rollerblades.• Alex broke his arm because he wasn’t careful.
Complex sentences have a subordinating conjunction. The subordinating conjunction starts the dependent clause.

Clauses into Sentences
Pg. 100 – A clause is a group of words that contains at least one subject and one verb.
Anna left the party earlybecause she was tired
There are two kinds of clauses: independent and dependent.
Independent
Dependent
Independent Clauses
An independent clause can be a sentence by itself. It is independent! It is another name for a simple sentence.
• I felt sick the next day.• He goes to school.• Jack excels at sports.• They run everyday.
Dependent Clause
Dependent clauses cannot be a sentence by itself because its meaning is not complete. A dependent clause “depends” on something else to complete the meaning.
• because he trains hard• whenever I don’t sleep well• as they want to compete in the marathon• after he finishes work
Dependent Clause
Dependent clauses cannot be a sentence by itself because its meaning is not complete. A dependent clause “depends” on something else to complete the meaning.
• because he trains hard• whenever I don’t sleep well• as they want to compete in the marathon• after he finishes work
Subordinating conjunctions make dependent clauses
Complex Sentences
• As they want to compete in the marathon, they run everyday.
• Jack excels at sports because he trains hard.• Whenever I don’t sleep well, I feel sick the
next day.• He goes to school after he finishes work.
