The document discusses the key elements of sentence construction, including subjects, predicates, phrases, clauses, and types of sentences. It notes that every sentence has a subject and predicate, where the subject is typically a noun or pronoun paired with a verb. Phrases contain related words but do not express a complete thought or have a subject-predicate relationship. Clauses contain a subject and predicate. Independent clauses can stand alone as complete sentences, while dependent clauses require more words. Compound sentences join two or more independent clauses.
Conjunctive adverbs (which are sometimes also called
sentence connectors or transitional words) are commonly
used in serious business, technical, and academic writing.
Conjunctive adverbs are.similar in meaning to other types
of connecting words such as and, but, or, etc., but they
have one very important difference: they join sentences,
not parts of sentences.

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

1. ELEMENTS OF SENTENCE
CONSTRUCTION
Subjects and Predicates
Parts of speech have specific tasks to perform when
they are put together in a sentence.
A noun or pronoun functions as the sentence
subject when it is paired with a verb functioning as
the sentence predicate.
4. S O M E T I M E S A V E R B W I L L E X P R E S S B E I N G O R

6. Because we use such statements when we are talking directly
to someone, we omit the word you. It is understood in the
sentence. Therefore, in statements like this one, we say the
subject is
you (understood).
This kind of sentence is an imperative sentence.
7. A PRE DICATE IS A VE RB THAT

STATE OF BE ING. E X AMPL E :
8. Sometimes the predicate will be composed
of two or three verbs that fit together - the
main verb preceded by one or more auxiliary
(helping) verbs.
9.
10. IMPORTANT NOTE: To be a predicate, a verb
that ends in -ing must ALWAYS have a helping
verb with it. An -ing verb WITHOUT a helping
verb cannot be a predicate in a sentence.

14. PHRASES
A phrase is a group of related words that
1. does not express a complete thought
2. does not have a subject and predicate pair
One type of phrase is a prepositional phrase.
16. Even though these phrases contain nouns (pronouns)
and/or verb forms, none of the nouns/pronouns/verbs
are subjects or predicates. None of them work as a
partnership.
Also, these phrases do NOT express complete thoughts.
17. CLAUSES
Words and phrases can be put together to make clauses.
A clause is a group of related words that contain a subject
and predicate.
Note the difference between phrases and clauses in the
following examples:
18.
19. ONLY ONE OF THE CLAUSES IS
A SENTENCE.
Clause #1 gives a thought or an idea that is COMPLETE, that can
stand by itself, independent of other words.
However, clause #2 gives an INCOMPLETE thought or idea, one
that cannot stand by itself, one that needs some more words to
make it whole. The word after changes the meaning, making the
thought incomplete. After reading this clause, we are left hanging.
20.
21. These two clauses illustrate the two kinds of clauses:
independent clauses and dependent clauses
An independent clause is a group of words that contains a subject, a
predicate, and a complete thought.
A dependent clause is a group of words that contains a subject and a
predicate, but does NOT express a complete thought.
22. COMPOUNDING SENTENCE
ELEMENTS
Words, phrases, and clauses may be joined to one another inside a
sentence with a conjunction.
The coordinating conjunctions and, but, or, and nor may join
subjects, predicates, adjectives, adverbs, prepositional phrases or
dependent clauses within a sentence. This process is called
"compounding.“ The following examples show the process of
compounding
29. In other words, a simple sentence is actually the SAME thing as
an independent clause.
Dependent clauses or phrases are called fragments because they
are missing one or more parts needed to make a sentence.
Therefore, they are only pieces or fragments of complete
sentences.
31. AVOIDING COMMA SPLICES
AND FUSED SENTENCES
Sometimes two independent clauses (simple
sentences) can be joined to form another kind of
sentence: the compound sentence.
Two major errors can occur when constructing
compound sentences.
32. 1: THE COMMA SPLICE
Writers make this error when they try to separate the two
independent clauses in a compound sentence with a comma
alone.
A comma is not a strong enough punctuation mark to separate
the two independent clauses by itself; thus, using it causes the
clauses to be spliced together.
36. 3. by changing the punctuation and adding an
appropriate conjunctive adverb
37. 2: THE FUSED SENTENCE
Writers make this error by joining two independent clauses
into a compound sentence without using any punctuation
between them.
No punctuation between the two independent clauses
causes them to "fuse" into an INCORRECT compound
sentence.
