Phrases and Clauses THE BUILDING BLOCKS OF SENTENCES

PHRASE a group of words that does not have both a subject and a verb

CLAUSE a group of words with both a subject & verb

What’s the difference between a phrase & a clause?

INDEPENDENT CLAUSE a complete thought that can stand alone

DEPENDENT CLAUSE group of words with both a subject and verb; cannot stand alone or it is a fragment

Independent clauses = a foundation and the frame of the house.

dependent clauses = like the windows or doors (they enhance what is already there, but can’t function alone)

Sentence Building Independent & Dependent Start constructing with ___________________. Improve sentence structure by adding _____________________.

DEPENDENT CLAUSES ADJECTIVE STARTERS 1) THAT 2) WHO 3) WHOM 4) WHOSE 5) WHICH

EXAMPLES The dog who lives by me is nice. The show that I watch is good. Jerry Spinelli is the author who wrote Maniac McGee.

How do we punctuate compound sentences? 1)Comma and a conjunction 2)Semicolon SpongeBob makes crabby patties. They are quite delicious!

COMPLEX independent + dependent Because he makes me laugh, I like SpongeBob.

Dependent clause punctuation Add a comma when a dependent clause starts a sentence Because he makes me laugh, I like SpongeBob.

Dependent clause punctuation Do not use a comma when the dependent clause is not at the beginning of a sentence. I like SpongeBob because he makes me laugh.

COMPOUND COMPLEX 2 INDEPENDENT + 1 DEPENDENT =

EXAMPLES Because they make me laugh, I like SpongeBob, and I like Plankton.

Turn these into complex _______________, I eat it quite often. ________________, I was punished! The dog, ______________, is stinky!

Turn these to compound I like dogs, but… I don’t like that they shed hair! Magicians love bunnies, and… they hide them in their hats!

Introductory Words Unfortunately, I love chocolate. Therefore, I eat it often. Also, I like ice cream. But, I am allergic to it. Thus, I should not eat it. Once, I saw a Yettie. Next, I saw Bigfoot. Finally, I caught a leprechaun!
