- Sept. 1 more class work on sentence types
-
A.) “de-” “non-” “co-” “en-” “ex” “em” “mid” “mis” “per” “sub” “mono” “para” “dis” “bi” “extra-” “uni” “post” “dis” inter” “re” “un” “pre”
B.) country, co-pilot, cost, come, company, community, control, co-writer, co-star, cooperate, coordinate, and cosign. The bolded ones are just spelled with a co in the beginning. Prefixes are better shown when you can take them off words and still have a word, like “cosign” and co-pilot.
C.) 1.) I saw a really nice pair of shoes, but I didn’t buy them.
2.) I saw my friend on the street but they didn’t see me.
3.) My mom sang and I covered my ears.
4.) I’m allergic to cherries, yet I still eat them.
5.) I spent all my money, so I can’t buy anymore books.Tiffany, your above five sentences correctly use co-ordinating conjuunctions, often called the FANBOYS words. The relationship bewteen the clauses or thought in all fiveis one of equal status, since both halves could stand independently.
D.) 1.) Before I left school, and packed up, I handed in my work for the day.
2.) While I was cooking my brothers were cleaning.
3.) I never stutter or cry until I’m angry.
4.) Although I want to go swimming, I can’t because I don’t have my swimwear.
5.) If the stage collapses, the performers on stage will be injured.All of these are good, but number 2 needs an internal comma.
A: anti, auto, circum, co, contra/contro , dis, de, en, ex, extra, non, post , pre, up.
B: preoccupied , contradict, unsatisfied, disapprove, uneducated, extraordinary , non responsive, uphill , antihistamine .
C: 1) I stayed up all night, so I was tired.
2) Sarah was pushed In the pool so her clothes got wet.
3) I had lunch, but I am still hungry.
4) she is popular ,yet is very shy. Errors: capitalization and structure. After “yet” you need a subject to justify the comma.
5) Michael sang and Bella danced.
D:
1) Whenever its cold out, I like to wear my fur coat.
2) Although she was strong , she wasn’t athletic.
3) because she was sick, she couldn’t go to school.
4) while I enjoy baking, I prefer cooking.
5) I want to call him, But I don’t have his number. You need subordinating words, not coordinating ones, like “but”Elin, you must always start a sentence with a capital letter. Numbers 1 through 4 are indeed complex sentences.
A) Co, Pre, Ex, Con, Non, Auto, Sub, Un, in, Pro, Bi, Homo, post
B) Cooperative, Automobile, Subtraction, Proactive, Condescending, Exploration, Homosexual, Inverted, Prefix, Uncomfortable, Unjust, Binomial.
B2) co-operative, co-sign, co-pilot, co-worker, co-incidental, co-analyze, co-produce.C) PLEASE NUMBER YOUR SENTENCES, Shane.
franks went to work while, Tim went to school THESE 5 must use FANBOYS words, not “while”; comma is incorrect.

Kofi sat on a bench while, Conner played on the swings. THESE 5 must use FANBOYS words, not “while”; comma is incorrect.
Gavin ran a 50 mile and, broke the school record. No. Without another subjectafter “and” you do not have two full thoughts–and your comma is in the wrong place.
None of the above five is correct.
D)

Yamani did her makeup so, she can look good for school.

You do not seem to see the difference between compound and complex. You barely have any of the subordinatinf words you’d need like since, because, when, if, and many others.
You should try again, Shane,
A) Anti-, semi-, post-, pre-, re- pro-, co-, com-, con-, under-, over-, extra-, hyper-, mis-. Dis-, de-, ir-, inter-, im-, em-, fore-, un-, non-, Sur-, sub-, and auto-.
Good, Zacarah, but none of them need capitals.
B) Co-exist, co-branding, co-locate, copilot, co-relation, cohesive, co-efficient, co-founder, co-writer, co-director, co-sign, coordination, coherent, cohort, adherence, co-analyze, and cooperation.A simple sentence has one independent clause with no conjunctions and no dependent clauses. A compound sentence contains multiple independent clauses joined together by conjunctions, without dependent clauses. A complex sentence has one independent clause addition to a dependent clause, they are combined with conjunctions and subordinators. Complex compound sentences contain multiple independent clauses and at least one dependent clause. Both of these sentences have conjunction and subordinators.
In the above explanation, please say “two or more” rather than “multiple” for better accuracy.
C) 1. Chantel heard that softest music when I was shopping at Barnes and Noble yesterday, and it reminded her of the lullabies that she used to sing to her daughter. Did you mean “we were”?

5. Every time I plan to go to Long Island for the weekend I like to leave while there I still daylight so that I don’t have to walk from Huntington train station when it is dark outside.Four of these are good but each one has three clauses. You can try to write complex sentences with just two clauses and omit the other clause that starts with a FANBOYS word.
ex. Since it was a holiday, the college was closed. This has one dependent and one independent clause and is good enough for what was requested.A) ab-, ad-, ante-, anti-, be-, com-, contra-, counter-, de-, dia-, dis-, ex-, extra-, semi-, hyper-, hypo-, in-, infra-, inter-, ob-, out-, over- peri-
B) cohost, copilot, hyperactive, designing, counterfeit, comparison, ex-husband, experience, overpriced, inter-fear wrong word/mispelling, outside, absent The best ones can have the prefixes removed and still have a word. These bolded ones may just be spelled that way. “abnormal” shows ab as a prefix.
