VARYING SENTENCE STRUCTURE

ADDING VARIETY TO SENTENCE STRUCTURE To make your writing more interesting, you should try to vary your sentences in terms of length and structure. You can make some of your sentences long and others short. Read the two paragraphs on the next page.

READ THE PARAGRAPHS BELOW. CHOOSE THE PARAGRAPH THAT IS MORE EFFECTIVE. I love living in the city. I have a wonderful view of the entire city. I have an apartment. I can see the Golden Gate Bridge. I can see many cargo ships pass under the bridge each day. I like the restaurants in San Francisco. I can find wonderful food from just about every country. I don’t like the traffic in the city. I love living in the city of San Francisco. I have a wonderful view of the entire city from my apartment window. In addition, I can see the Golden Gate Bridge under which many cargo ships pass each day. I also like San Francisco because I can find wonderful restaurants with food from just about every country; however, I don’t like the traffic in the city.

HOW DO YOU VARY SENTENCE STRUCTURE? You will want to use a variety of sentence structures in your writing. There are three types of sentences we will study in this lesson: - Simple Sentence - Compound Sentence - Complex Sentence

THE SIMPLE SENTENCE A simple sentence has one independent clause (one subject and a verb): I live in San Francisco. (subject)(verb)

COMPOUND SENTENCE She works in the city, but she lives in the suburbs. (Independent clause)

COMPOUND SENTENCE You can make a compound sentence by joining two logically related independent clauses by using… - a semicolon - a coordinating conjunction - a transition

USING A SEMICOLON Independent Clause ; Independent Clause I love living in the city ; there are so many things to do.

USING A COORDINATING CONJUNCTION Independent Clause,coordinating conjunction Independent Clause He couldn’t watch the show, so he decided to tape it.

COORDINATING CONJUNCTIONS Logical Relationship Coordinating Conjunction AdditionAnd ContrastBut, yet ChoiceOr, nor CauseFor ResultSo

CAUTION! Do NOT use a comma every time you use the words and, or, but, nor, for, so, yet. Use a comma only when the coordinating conjunction joins two independent clauses. Independent Clause No comma- not an independent clause

USING A TRANSITION Independent Clause

COMPLEX SENTENCES A complex sentence contains at least one independent clause and one dependent clause. John cannot set up his typewriter because the wall has no outlet. Independent Clause Subordinating Conjunction Dependent Clause

EXAMPLE- COMPLEX SENTENCE A complex sentence contains at least one independent clause and one dependent clause. She will go to school in the city until she finds a job. Independent Clause Subordinating Conjunction Dependent Clause

COMPLEX SENTENCES Use a comma after a dependent clause if it begins the sentence. When I first moved to the city, I was afraid to drive the steep and narrow streets. Subordinating Conjunction Use a comma if the dependent clause is the first part of the sentence. Independent Clause
