Presentation transcript:

TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 9 AND 10 I can correctly use commas with nonessential clauses or phrases. I can determine meanings of words using context clues. I can demonstrate comprehension of text. I can create a first draft of a narrative writing.

Grammar Rule #4b- Use commas with interrupters. Use commas to set off nonessential clauses and nonessential participial phrases. A nonessential clause or participial phrase is one containing information that isn’t needed to understand the main idea of the sentence.

Examples My cousin, walking home one day, found a large snapping turtle. That scarf, which is real silk, was made in India. Don’t get these confused with essential phrases or clauses- one that cannot be left out without changing the meaning of the sentence. Essential clauses and phrases are not set off by commas. Example: A book written by Maxine Hong Kingston is about growing up as a Chinese American woman.

Vocabulary Match
