13. ELACC5L1: Demonstrate command of the conventions of Standard English grammar and usage when writing a. Explain the function of conjunctions, prepositions, and interjections in general and their function in particular sentences. A conjunction is a word that links words, phrases, or clauses. There are three types of conjunctions: coordinating conjunctions, correlative conjunctions, and subordinating conjunctions. Coordinating Conjunctions may join single words, or they may join groups of words, but they must always join similar elements such as subject+subject, verb phrase+verb phrase, or sentence+sentence. When a coordinating conjunction is used to join elements, the element becomes a compound element. Examples: and, but, or, yet, for, nor, so Example: I like to play baseball, but I like to play soccer too. I would like a new bike for Christmas or a baseball.

14. Correlative Conjunctions also connect sentence elements of the same kind, however, unlike coordinating conjunctions, correlative conjunctions are always used in pairs. Examples: both - and not only - but also not - but either - or neither - nor whether - or as - as Example: I want both a steak and a salad.

15. Subordinating Conjunctions: These are the largest class of conjunctions. They connect subordinate clauses to a main clause. They are adverbs used as conjunctions. Examples: Time: after, before, since, when, while, until Reason: because, since, so that, why Place: where, wherever Condition: if, unless, until, in case Manner: as if, as though, how Example: After eating lunch, we will eat dessert. We will eat dessert after eating lunch.

18. b. Form and use the perfect (e.g., I had walked; I have walked; I will have walked) verb aspects. The three perfect tenses in English are the three verb tenses which show action already completed. (The word perfect literally means "made complete" or "completely done.") They are formed by the appropriate tense of the verb to have plus the past participle of the verb. Present Perfect: I have seen it. (Present tense of to have plus participle. Action is completed with respect to the present.) Past Perfect: I had seen it. (Past tense of to have plus participle. Action is completed with respect to the past.) Future Perfect: I will have seen it. (Future tense of to have plus participle. Action is completed with respect to the future.)

19. d. Recognize and correct inappropriate shifts in verb tense and aspect.* http://srjcwritingcenter.com/clearsentcs/shifts /shifts.html http://srjcwritingcenter.com/clearsentcs/shifts /shifts.html
