Brad Johnson Eng 81, 16th class Some need to make an appointment to see Brad. Do this soon. QUIZ Draw out or list 5 sentence options from p. 365 from yesterday. Can use abbreviations. Do not have to write out what these are. 1. Ic. Ic. 2. Ic.,f ic 3. Ic ; ic 4. Dc, ic or ic, dc 5. Ic, ca, ic Remember: fanboys – stands for coordinating conjunctions. F=for A=and N=nor B=but O=or Y=yet S=so Conjunctive or coordinating adverbs: (c/a) show connection or relationship. See p. 365. Some examples of these coordinating adverbs are: c/e (remember that “c/e” stands for cause and effect). Because of a, b happens: ic,ca ic. Example: “John ran very quickly, however, he was very tired.” Something opposite needs to happen. In this example, ‘John was very tired.” The opposite happened: “He ran very quickly.” 1. As a result: c/e 2. Therefore: c/e 3. Consequently: c/e 4. However: opposite 5. Moreover: addition 6. In fact: further information is needed 7. Then, meanwhile – time Meanwhile at the same time p. 365, Option 4 1. If – speculation 2. After – time 3. Although – opposite 4. As if – speculation 5. Since – because 6. Unless – conditional 7. Until – conditional/time 8. When whenever – time 9. Whereas – conditional 10. While – time Use the above in all your writings. p. 367, Practice 11 – Determine relationships. These exercises help you know what coordinating conjunctions to use. p. 371 The way to fix comma splices: period. Semi-colon, or comma fanboy: ,f. Run on sentences and c/s (comma splices) are not good. Run on sentence, c/s do not have the power of a period ( . ), a comma fanboy ( ,f ) or a semicolon ( ; ). ic,ic is like a cut and needs a band-aid. The band-aids are: a period, semicolon, and a comma, fanboy Remember: a comma splice is not a good thing (c/s). An example of what not to do: “Julia plays the violin very well, she practices every day.” An example of what to do: “Julia plays the violin very well; she practices every day.” Or “Julia plays the violin very well, and she practices every day.” p. 372, Practice 1 1. This is a run-on because there is no punctuation: “Identity theft is the fastest- growing crime in the United States it costs society $4 to $5 billion a year.” Correct: “Identity theft is the fastest-growing crime in the United States, and it costs society $4 to $5 billion a year.” Correct: a period after United states Correct: use a semi-colon 3. “For the victim, identify theft can mean the shock of violation, large financial losses and ruined credit.” This sentence is correct. Identify theft is the subject “Is miserable” is the verb Commas are good to use in a series. Because there are commas in a series, don’t think that this is a comma splice. You need to use commas to separate ideas in a series. “On Feb. 1st, while the leaves were rustling in the morning, I went out for a walk.”–Tthis is an interesting sentence. Remember: a run-on sentence has no punctuation 5. S is for stingy people should be stingy about giving their valuable social security, bank account., and credit-card numbers to others. This is a run-on sentence Corrected sentence: “S. is for stingy. People should be stingy about giving their valuable social security, bank account, and credit-cared numbers to others. 6. C stands for check all financial statements carefully for unauthorized withdrawals or purchases. This sentence is correct. 8. The final step is M, maintaining careful records of bank and financial accounts, these records can help dispute any problems. You could put a period after “accounts”. Corrected sentence: “The final step is M, maintaining careful records of bank and financial accounts. These records can help dispute any problems.” p. 365, option # 5 Starting sentences with conjunctive adverbs and not having an independent clause (i.c.) creates a frag. You need to have i.c. to make it complete. Example: “Because he ate too much.” This is a frag. needing an i.c. Correct: “Because he ate too much, he felt sick in two hours.” p. 376 The examples on this page help you to avoid frags. Watch out for: that, which, whose, who’s, who is Example: “Bill, who is 6’2’”, runs track.” Bill – subj. Runs – verb Who is 6’2” frag Bill who is 6’2” Bill runs track and does When using that, which, whose, who’s, who is make sure that you have an i.c. supporting the d.c. Example: “The restaurant that serves Indian food is located on 7th Avenue.” “that serves Indian food” is the d.c. “The restaurant is located on 7th Avenue.” Is the i.c. p. 378 #5 “The comic strip, Peanuts, which was created by Charles Schulta. which tells that there is a secondary idea which was created by … is secondary idea. Be careful because this is a frag. needing a i.c. Correct: ‘The comic strip, Peanuts, which was created by Charles Schultz, is found in the Comic Section of many newspapers. p. 376 #10 Join sentences 9 & 10 p. 377 #1 “When Sandra completes her commercial jet training.” This is a frag. needing an i.c. Correct: “When Sandra completes her commercial jet training, she will look for a job in aviation.” p. 365, option # 5 Be careful. When using these conjunctions, you are writing a d.c. which needs an i.c. p. 377, # 3 This is not complete. It is a frag. p. 377 #4 This is correct. Note: “If she speaks Portuguese fluently” is a frag. “she will probably get the job.” Is an i.c. Joining these two together creates a complete, interesting sentence: “If she speaks Portuguese fluently, she will probably get the job.” JOURNAL ENTRY: J/E Young Radicals: “New Radical -You Get What You Give” Listen and write whatever comes to your mind.
