Wow! When you feel comfortable, start the homework:

Create a Google Doc to answer questions #1-9 of the handout. (You do not need to write your own sentences; just find the interjection in each sentence. You are welcome.)

If you have trouble making a Doc, you can print out the handout, write on it, and upload a picture of it. You can also just do it on notebook paper and take a picture of that. Don't forget to submit this assignment!

Take the "quiz" to correct your homework.

Read p. 174 in your textbook. Practice a few of the exercise questions from your book.

This lesson makes note of conjunctions that are often misused, changing the meaning of sentences.

The first set of words that are mixed up are "unless" and "without". "Unless" always introduces a dependent clause (remember, clause = subject and verb):

I will do great on the test UNLESS I don't study for it.

(Most of the time, these are misused in the local dialects of our Southern states, not in California.)

The second set your book gives us, like, as if, and as, are a cause for concern in the Californian dialect (even leaving aside our tendency to throw "like" into sentences as an interjection, like, you know?).

•Use "like" as a preposition with an object:

I am most like Snape.

•Use "as if" to introduce a clause (subject and verb):

He speaks as if he were king.

•Use "as" either as a conjunction introducing a clause:

I smiled as I fell.

...or as a preposition with an object:

She lived as a member of the community.

Read p. 172 in your textbook. Practice a few of the exercise questions from your book. If you need extra help, check out the link.

Subordinate conjunctions are used to connect an independent clause and a dependent clause.

Remember:

•an independent clause has a subject and a verb and makes sense on its own: "I went to the store."
•a dependent clause ALSO has a subject and a verb, but doesn't make a complete thought on its own: "Because I can't do handstands."

It might also help you to memorize that list on p. 172.

SKIP #4. There was an error in the quiz booklet; this is actually a correlative conjunction, not a coordinating conjunction.

Use this to study for the quiz tomorrow. After 2:00, I'll post the answers so that you can check your work and study the correct thing!

Read p. 170 in your textbook. Practice a few of the exercise questions from your book. If you need extra help, check out the link.

These are basically just weirdo conjunctions (connecting words) that can also be used as adverbs. They come with a couple of rules:

•use a semicolon (;) before the conjunctive adverb
•put a comma (,) after the conjunctive adverb
•"parenthetical expressions" are also used in exactly this way; you can tell the difference between them because the conjunctive adverbs are mostly one word (the exception really is "in fact")

Such as:

I never wanted to see him again; nevertheless, there he was in my house.

(Sounds like the start to a Forensics Files episode.)

It might also help you to memorize that list on p. 170.

These conjunctions usually are used to give a choice or show a relationship between two things:

"BOTH Lisa AND I are on the class picnic committee."

They come in pairs (such as "both . . . and") to connect two things in the sentence.

Watch out for "neither . . . nor", which indicates not a choice between two things, but two things that are not choices.

Remember:
•A conjunction connects words or groups of words
•Common conjunctions include "and", "but", and "or" (see how the "and" worked there?)

(Your book calls the "regular" conjunctions you've been learning about for years "Coordinating" conjunctions.)

Read p. 160 in your textbook. Practice a few of the exercise questions from your book. If you need extra help, check out the link.

Remember:
•A clause needs a subject and a verb.
•An independent clause can stand on its own as a complete, understandable thought:
"My dog is cute."
•A dependent clause is an incomplete thought:
"Because I went to school when it was closed."
(well, what happened? ...and?)

So:
•a SIMPLE sentence is one clause that expresses a complete thought ("My dog is cute.").
•a COMPOUND sentence is two complete thoughts joined together ("My dog is cute and I love him.").
•a COMPLEX sentence is one complete thought joined with a clause expressing an incomplete thought--a dependent clause ("Because my dog is cute, I love him.")

Remember: to find an object of a preposition, find the preposition--the placement word--and then ask yourself, "[preposition] what?"

Example: "My friends talked about what were the most violent kinds of storms."
Preposition: about
About what? "what were the most violent kinds of storms"

Remember, too, to look for words like "that", "who", "what", "how" to start the noun clause.

Read p. 156 in your textbook. Practice a few of the exercise questions from your book. If you need extra help, check out the link. (There's no sound, but it shows how to make a noun clause a direct object in a simplified way.)

Notice that when there is a noun clause being used as an direct object in a sentence ("I'll choose [whatever looks best on me]."), it comes AFTER the action verb.

Remember: to find the direct object, ask yourself, "[verb] what?" In the example above, you find it by asking "Choose what?" (Choose "whatever looks best on me.")

Remember, too, to look for words like "that", "who", "whatever", "how" to start the noun clause.

When you feel comfortable, start the homework:

Create a Google Doc to answer questions #1-14. Name each direct object (ask yourself, "[verb] what?" to find them), and then say whether the direct object was a noun or a noun clause.

Read p. 154 in your textbook. Practice a few of the exercise questions from your book. If you need extra help remembering what an appositive is, check out the link.

Notice that when there is a noun clause being used as an appositive in a sentence ("The theme [that hatred leads to tragedy] is central to the play ROMEO AND JULIET."), it renames a noun in the sentence ("theme"). Also look for words like "that", "who", "whatever", "how" to start the noun clause.

When you feel comfortable, start the homework:

Create a Google Doc to answer questions #1-8. Name each noun clause and the word that it renames.

Notice that when there is a noun clause being used as the subject complement in a sentence ("The best solution is [that everyone brings food to share]."), it's always at the end of the sentence.

Also look for words like "that", "who", "whatever", "how" to start the noun clause.

When you feel comfortable, start the homework:

Create a Google Doc to answer questions #1-13 on p. 101, and #1-13 on p. 102.

Make sure you are naming the noun clauses in each sentence; on p. 101, you're also naming the subject of each sentence, but on p. 102, YOU ARE TELLING WHETHER THE CLAUSE IS A SUBJECT OR SUBJECT COMPLEMENT.

Notice that when there is a noun clause being used as the subject in a sentence ("[That the five singers were anxious] was apparent to everyone."), it's always at the beginning of the sentence. Most of the time, the verb in the clause is going to be in the past tense. Also look for words like "that", "who", "whatever", "how" to start the noun clause.

When you feel comfortable, start the homework:

It'll help you identify adverb clauses if you look out for the subordinate conjunctions listed on the page--it might help to memorize these, just like you may have had to memorize some of the other key words earlier in the book.

Also remember: adverb clauses, like adverbs, describe verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. They tell when, why, how, how much, and under what condition something is or is happening.

Example: After the game ended, we quickly drove home.

"After" can be used as a preposition, but in this case it's introducing a clause because there is a verb included ("ended"). "After the game ended" is a clause telling WHEN they drove home. (Ask yourself, "'After the game ended,'" what?" to see what the clause describes. [In this case, it's that they drove.])

When you feel comfortable, start the homework:
