Week 2 Ways to combine sentences + more Using “Float On” by Modest Mouse

Grammar Lesson: To avoid run-on sentences, you must combine two independent clauses by using a comma conjunction (For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, So…FANBOYS) or a semicolon. You can also separate the independent clauses by using a period and starting a new sentence. Examples: Semi-colons If I knew how to play the guitar well, I would sign up for the talent show; that would be an amazing experience. Comma Conjunctions I am learning to play the guitar, but it is very hard for me to memorize the chords. I love listening to music, but I hate to dance. Note that you don’t need a comma when the conjunction isn’t followed by a complete sentence. I love listening to music and dancing.

Why do you think the writer changed the original lyric “car” to “ride #MentorSentenceMonday Link to Song I backed my ride into a cop car the other day, but he just drove off; sometimes life is ok. Why do you think the writer chose to combine the last sentence with a semi-colon rather than another comma conjunction? Imagine this sentence broken into 3 different sentences. How would it sound? I backed my ride into a cop car the other day. He just drove off. Sometimes life is ok. What makes this a well-written sentence?

We’ll float on good news is on the way. #TransformItTuesday Link to Song We’ll float on good news is on the way. Correct: We’ll float on; good news is on the way. Or… We’ll float on, and good news is on the way. Or… We’ll float on. Good news is on the way. Grammar Rule: “We’ll float on” and “Good news is on the way” are two independent clauses that must be combined using a semicolon, comma conjunction, or separated with a period to avoid run-on sentences. Complex sentence example: Though we are having hard times, we’ll float on; good news is on the way. 1. Transform this sentence into a correct sentence by adding punctuation. 2. Next, rewrite this compound sentence to transform it into a complex sentence.

#TestPrepThursday Resilient people don’t give in to anger or despair when faced with a setback. Instead, they tap into a greater purpose to bounce back stronger than ever. Highly resilient people know that they will experience failures and tragedies but they have habits in place to overcome these inevitable setbacks. 1. No Change Add a comma before or Add a comma after or Add a comma before when 2. Add a comma before and Add a comma before but Add a comma before and and but A. Because the conjunction, or, doesn’t need a comma when it doesn’t combine two independent clauses. “Despair when faced with a setback” isn’t an independent clause. 2. C. Because the conjunction, but, is combining an independent clause with another independent clause. See above for why you don’t need a comma with “and.”

Even if things get heavy, we’ll all float on alright. #FiguresOfSpeechFunDay Link to Song He took every last dime with that scam; it was worth it just to learn from his sleight of hand. Even if things get heavy, we’ll all float on alright. Idiom: An expression whose meaning is not predictable based on the individual meanings of the words that make up the phrase. Metaphor: A non-literal representation of a way to vividly describe something. 1. Decide which figure of speech is being used in each clause. 2. Decipher the deeper meaning of each sentence.
