Coordinated Clauses Definition: The loose structure of the long second sentence and ugliness, the narrator's ironic reservations Example: I like ice cream but I hate chocolate'

Subordinate Clauses A group of words that has both a subject and verb but (unlike an independent clause) cannot stand alone as a sentence. Examples: -“After Amy sneezed all over the tuna salad” -”Who ate handfuls of Cheerios with his hands”

Parallelism Definition: The relationship among the parts of a sentence through making the elements of a series or in pairs of words, phrases or clauses. Example: You need to work quickly and decisively. He was a prolific author, writing poems, short stories, novels, and screenplays.

Parallel Clause Definition: Serves to builds toward a climax Example: Ashley likes to ski, to swim and to jump. This is correct and uses parallel structure. An incorrect version of this sentence would read: Ashley likes to ski, to swim and jumping.

Loose/ Cumulative Sentence Definition: Presents ideas in the order of subject-verb objective Example: Florida is a great vacation spot for families, with Disney World, Universal Studios, and Sea World.

Periodic Sentence A complex sentence in which the main clause comes last and is preceded by the subordinate clause. Examples: -”In spite of heavy snow and cold temperatures, the game continued.” -”Because they are independent, take care of themselves, and purr, I prefer cats over dogs
