1 Clauses, Conjunctions, and Sentence Structures 7 th Grade Grammar

2 Conjunctions

3 Conjunctions You are going to watch a video about the different types of conjunctions. Coordinating Correlative Subordinating While you watch the video, take copious notes Leave a space in your notes after each type of conjunction. We will be adding approximately 1/3 of a page of information to each type. nglish/grammar/conjunction s/ Coordinating Conjunctions Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Cras bibendum vestibulum dolor vel ullamcorper. Nullam sit amet placerat purus. Pellentesque habitant morbi Correlative Conjunctions tristique senectus et netus et malesuada fames ac turpis egestas. Sed non enim at lectus pharetra fringilla.

4 Conjunctions A CONJUNCTION connects words or groups of words. There are three types of conjunctions: Coordinating Correlative Subordinating Conjunction Junction (You do not have to take notes): v/w/apzodwaiyx

5 Coordinating Conjunctions A COORDINATING CONJUNCTION connects similar words or groups of words. For And Nor But Or Yet So

6 Practice Coordinating Conjunctions DIRECTIONS: try to fill in the blanks using the appropriate conjunction. Use commas if necessary. 1. My dad I are going fishing this afternoon. 2. The old man doesn t have much money he always seems to have nice things. 3. I don t have much time hurry up! 4. He wasn t a popular king all of his country men hated him. 5. I want to get there early we should leave soon. 6. We don t like red do I like blue. 7. I ran after the cat could not catch her. 8. We played very well we still lost the game.

7 Correlative Conjunctions Pairs of words that connect similar kinds of words or groups of words. FYI: A correlation is a mutual relationship or connection between two or more things For example, there is a strong correlation between the times Billy pretends not to hear his parents and the times when he is sent to his room.

8 Correlative Conjunctions Both and Either or Neither nor Not only but also Whether or

9 Correlative Conjunctions Practice 1. You should either study for your test or finish your homework. 2. Neither Rory nor Amy plays the trombone. 3. The girl not only won the game but also received a prize! 4. "Education is not the filling of a pail but the lighting of a fire. (William Butler Yeats) 5. "To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe." (Anatole France) 6. "Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." (Benjamin Franklin) 7. "It is difficult to produce a television documentary that is both incisive and probing when every twelve minutes one is interrupted by twelve dancing rabbits singing about toilet paper." (Rod Serling) 8. "Either you decide to stay in the shallow end of the pool or you go out in the ocean." (Christopher Reeve)

(Rod Serling) 8. "Either you decide to stay in the shallow end of the pool or you go out in the ocean." (Christopher Reeve)

11 Be Careful!!!!! "A rule of traditional grammar limits the use of correlative conjunctions to two elements. Sentences using three or more correlative conjunctions are widely viewed as erroneous in their construction. Thus sentences like the following are widely viewed as mistakes: Both her mother, her father, and her sister are great public speakers. The team has neither the talent, discipline, nor stamina to win the championship." The American Heritage Guide to Contemporary Usage and Style. Houghton Mifflin, 2005

12 Subordinate Conjunctions A subordinate conjunction Provides a necessary transition between the two ideas in a sentence. This transition will indicate a time, place, or cause and effect relationship Reduces the importance of one clause so that a reader understands which of the two ideas is more important A subordinate conjunction is essential for creating a subordinate clause

13 Subordinate Conjunctions Common After Although As As if As long as As though Before Even though Subordinating If In order that Since Still So that Than Though Unless Rather than In order to Conjunctions Until When Whenever Whereas Where Whenever Where Wherever While

14 Practice Subordinating Conjunctions 1. He behaves he rules the world. 2. We started moving he took his foot off the brake. 3. kill living animals for food, I am going to become a vegetarian. 4. I waited my mom paid for the groceries 5. I ran I was scared. 6. We will go running we tie our shoes. 7. We can eat lunch you like. 8. I get happy I smile. 9. I m not leaving you say you re sorry. 10. We cannot go skiing we have skis. 11. I turned the key start the car. 12. I want to go money grows on trees.

15 Practice Subordinating Conjunctions 1. He behaves as though he rules the world. 2. We started moving after he took his foot off the brake. 3. Rather than kill living animals for food, I am going to become a vegetarian. 4. I waited while my mom paid for the groceries 5. I ran because I was scared. 6. We will go running after we tie our shoes. 7. We can eat lunch if you like. 8. As I get happy I smile. 9. I m not leaving until you say you re sorry. 10. We cannot go skiing unless we have skis. 11. I turned the key in order to start the car. 12. I want to go where money grows on trees.

16 Be Careful! Sometimes what appears to be a subordinating conjunction is actually a preposition. To differentiate between the two, decide if the word is a part of a prepositional phrase or a clause The changes made in the budget will not take place until next year. Preposition Until she learns how to play the banjo, Amy must play the guitar. Subordinating conjunction The depletion of the forests for grazing land is affecting the climate worldwide. Preposition Amy decided not to go to the mall, for she had not finished her homework. Coordinating conjunction Before answering this question, consider the consequences. Preposition Maybe Alicia will stop here before she leaves for Paris. Subordinating conjunction

17 Conjunctive Adverbs Recognize a conjunctive adverb when you see one. Conjunctions have one job, to connect. They join words, phrases, or clauses together to clarify what the writer is saying. Their presence provides smooth transitions from one idea to another. When the job of an adverb is to connect ideas, we call it a conjunctive adverb. Here is the list: accordingly also besides consequently conversely finally furthermore hence however indeed instead likewise meanwhile moreover nevertheless next nonetheless otherwise similarly still subsequently then therefore thus

18 Conjunctive Adverbs A conjunctive adverb can join two main clauses. In this situation, the conjunctive adverb behaves like a coordinating conjunction, connecting two complete ideas. Notice, however, that you need a semicolon, not a comma, to connect the two clauses: The dark skies and distant thunder dissuaded Clarice from her afternoon run; moreover, she had thirty calculus problems to solve for her morning class. Leon's apartment complex does not allow dogs over thirty pounds; otherwise, he would have bought the gangly Great Dane puppy playing in the pet store window. The cat ate a bowlful of tuna; then, to the squirrels' delight, the fat feline fell asleep in the rocking chair.

19 Conjunctive Adverbs A conjunctive adverb will also introduce, interrupt, or conclude a single main clause. In this situation, you will often need commas to separate the conjunctive adverb from the rest of the sentence. Maria declined Jeff's third invitation to go out. This young man is determined, nevertheless, to take her to dinner one night soon. After mowing the yard in the hot sun, Pedro was too hungry to shower. He did wash his dusty hands, however. If the break is weak, do not use comma(s). Anna called to say her car would not start. Rafael will therefore have to walk to school. The long noodles splashed tomato sauce all over the front of Brenda's shirt. Ordering fettuccine was a mistake indeed.

20 Review DIRECTIONS: Find the conjunction (or conjunctive adverb) and decide if it is: Coordinating Conjunction, Correlative Conjunction, Subordinating Conjunction, or Conjunctive Adverb? 1. The drivers left the deserted station and headed for the next stop. 2. Without a map to guide her, Susan pushed through the jungle after her plane crashed. 3. The governor works harder than anyone on his staff does. 4. Ted thinks that idea is good; nonetheless, you will still need to persuade the boss. 5. Because most of the contributions were made this month, the organization is able to pay the rent. 6. Chris is excited, but Anthony is absolutely hysterical. 7. Either you need to leave or they will be forced to call security. 8. As fair as the system is, it is not perfect. 9. Theo said that he wanted to go with us to the movies. 10. Not only the Mets but also the Yankees are in the World Series. 11. The test is offered tomorrow; otherwise, you will need to wait until next term. 12. Does the coordinator know when the plane leaves? 13. Tess can take the money or risk everything on the next question.

22 Clauses

23 Take Notes Watch the following video and take copious notes. Leave a space under each section of notes. You will be adding more information later. You will learn about Subordinate (dependent) and independent clauses Simple and complex sentences Noun, adjective, and adverb clauses

24 Clauses There are two kinds of clauses 1) Independent An independent clause has a subject and a predicate (verb) and can stand alone as a sentence. This stand-alone sentence is called a simple sentence. S V My lovely llama loves lollypops. S V Every day, I give him a new flavor.

25 Clauses There are two kinds of clauses: 2) Subordinate (dependent) A dependent clause has a subject and a predicate but cannot stand alone as a sentence. After reading a dependent clause, the reader is left with a question, not a complete thought. When left to stand alone, a dependent clause is a fragment. Subordinating Conjunctions are used to begin most dependent clauses. S V After he played a song. S V When they heard the banjo music.

26 Grammar Tip All clauses are either independent or subordinate (dependent).

27 Practice-Draw a line between the independent and dependent clauses in each sentence. Write an I over the independent clause and a D over the dependent clause. Underline the subordinating conjunction. 1.Jason took a nap before he left for his friend's house. 2. You can keep your privileges as long as we continue to see progress. 3.Hannah wasn't feeling well, which Dad noticed immediately. 4. Although you may disagree, I still say Sheila is the best person for the job. 5.There would be less tension between them if they could just see eye to eye. 6.I'm bringing my homework along even though we don't plan to stay long. 7.George, whom I've never met before, seemed like a pretty nice guy. 8.In order that we may be respectful of the presenters, please turn off your cell phones. 9.I knew this was going to be an exciting game when Andrew took his first swing. 10.Margaret, whose earrings I borrowed last week, told her dad that she was tired and wanted to go home.

28 Dependent Clauses are in Bold: 1.Jason took a nap before he left for his friend's house. 2. You can keep your privileges as long as we continue to see progress. 3.Hannah wasn't feeling well, which Dad noticed immediately. 4. Although you may disagree, I still say Sheila is the best person for the job. 5.There would be less tension between them if they could just see eye to eye. 6.I'm bringing my homework along even though we don't plan to stay long. 7.George, whom I've never met before, seemed like a pretty nice guy. 8.In order that we may be respectful of the presenters, please turn off your cell phones. 9.I knew this was going to be an exciting game when Andrew took his first swing. 10.Margaret, whose earrings I borrowed last week, told her dad that she was tired and wanted to go home.

29 Sentences

30 Simple Sentences A simple sentence is a sentence with one independent clause. Note what the definition does not say. It doesn't say that a simple sentence is short or easy to understand. It doesn't say anything about phrases. A simple sentence can have forty-seven phrases, but only one independent clause. Let's look at an example: I love simple sentences. (That's easy enough. It is obviously one independent clause.) But look at this: Being an English teacher with a penchant for syntactical complexity, I love simple sentences.

31 Simple Sentences Just like the last examples showed you, simple sentences can take many forms: One subject and verb The siren sounded. Compound subject Cats and dogs ran down the street. Compound verb My sister acts and sings in the play. Compound subject and verb Art and archaeology reflect and explain Jerusalem s history. Compound direct object He opened the letter and the box. Compound prepositional phrase It can rain from the east or from the west. Practice: WB page 83, Exercise 1

32 Compound Sentences A compound sentence contains two or more independent clauses joined by a comma and a coordinating conjunction OR a semi-colon. I love chocolate ice cream, but my sister loves vanilla. I love chocolate ice cream; my sister loves vanilla. Sometimes a compound sentence contains more than two independent clauses. I love chocolate ice cream, but my sister loves vanilla, and my brother likes strawberry. Sometimes the independent clauses are joined by a conjunctive adverb and a semi-colon. I have an ice cream machine at my house; therefore, my friends love to visit me! Practice: WB page 83, Exercise 2

33 Complex Sentences A complex sentence consists of one independent clause and one or more dependent clauses. If the dependent clause comes first, it DEPENDS on a comma and an independent clause to be a complete sentence. EX: When the fog lifted, we continued our trip. If the independent comes first, no comma is necessary before the dependent clause. EX: We continued our trip when the fog lifted. The dependent clause could also split up the independent clause. EX: The person who will speak last is my sister. Example: The man, who was wearing a bow-tie, and the woman, who was wearing red shoes, began to dance the tango after the music began. The independent clause is in blue, the dependent clauses are green, red, and yellow. Practice: WB page 85, Ex. 1 & page 86 Ex. 1

34 Pg. 85, Ex I clean up the mess that you made. 2. The car, which had run smoothly all day, suddenly stopped. 3. While I was watching the parade, someone stole my wallet. 4. If our school wins, we will be state champions. 5. The soldiers, who had not eaten all day, were famished by nightfall. Pg. 86, Ex The main road was closed after the bridge collapsed. 2. The actress whom I admire the most is Carol Burnett. 3. We continued our vacation trip when the dense fog lifted. 4. If you are not happy with their work, you can wallpaper the room yourself. 5. The cactus will grow if you do not overwater it.

I love shoes, and I love shopping. Write your own compound sentence using a semi-colon and a conjunctive adverb. I love shoes; however, I only buy them on clearance. Write your own complex sentence with the dependent clause coming first. After I shop for shoes, I am happy. Write your own complex sentence with the independent clause coming first. I am happy when I shop for shoes.

42 Adjective Clauses An ADJECTIVE CLAUSE is a subordinate clause that modifies a noun or pronoun (dependent clause acting like an adjective) The koala, who was climbing a tall tree, decided to rest. The koala that is resting winked at me! The eucalyptus tree, which is the koala s favorite food, grows best in Australia. (more examples on next page)

43 Adjective Clauses 1. The student whom I asked for help turned pages of music for me. (which student?) 2. By pushing the pedal that is connected to the drum, you will make sound. (which pedal?) 3.

The piano, whose strings were hit by hammers to produce sound, can be mad louder or softer by the foot pedals. (what kind of piano?) 5. At the moment when the pedal is pushed, the damper inside the piano changes the tone. (which instrument?)

44 Adjective Clauses- Tips An adjective clause Usually follows the noun or pronoun that it modifies Often begins with a relative pronoun (that, who, whom, whose, which, where, when, and why) May begin with an adverb but function as an adjective clause This is the house where I used to live.

45 Practice Adjective Clauses 1. Mike, whose ancestors came from Ireland, marched in the St. Patrick's Day parade. 2. The woman who lives next door is a registered nurse. 3. Williamsburg, Virginia, is a place that I'd like to visit. 4. Math, which is Dave's favorite subject, has always been easy for him. 5. There is the house that I'd like to buy. 6.

47 Adverb Clauses A subordinate clause that modifies a verb, an adjective, or an adverb Answer the questions: Where? When? In what way? To what extent? Under what conditions? Why? Always introduced by a subordinating conjunction The subordinating conjunction will usually appear at the Beginning (when an adverb clause begins a sentence) In the middle (if the adverb clause is at the end or the middle of the sentence). (examples on the next page)

48 Adverb Clauses Tommy scrubbed the bathroom tile until his arms ached. (How did Tommy scrub?) Josephine s three cats bolted from the driveway once they saw her car turn the corner.
