Compound Sentence with Elliptical Construction Sentence Pattern 2 Compound Sentence with Elliptical Construction SV DO or SC ; S , DO or SC. (Omitted Verb)

Explanation This pattern is really the same as PATTERN 1, but here you will omit the verb in the second clause if it would needlessly repeat the verb of the first clause. The COMMA says to the reader, “Here you should mentally insert the same verb you have already read in the first clause.”

Examples The Scottish Highlander sports a tam-o’-shanter; the Texas Ranger, a ten-gallon hat. The Russian ballerina wears a tutu; the Malaysian dancer, a brightly colored sarong. A red light means stop; a green light, go.

CHECKPOINTS: Write this Down! Be sure that you really have 2 independent clauses (SV) even though the second has an “implied” verb. The verb in the 2nd clause MUST match the verb in the 1st clause exactly. Be sure the structure is parallel & the thought is complete.

Exercises (1)Use a comma in the 2nd clause to substitute for the verb in the 1st clause. (2) Write a complete thought for a missing 1st clause. 1. A Threatening sky with black clouds usually signals an approaching storm ; ___________________________________. 2. ___________________________________ ; Passover and Easter , the season of renewal. 3. An owl symbolizes wisdom ; ________________________________________.
