This document discusses strategies for avoiding run-on sentences and sentence fragments. It provides definitions of run-on sentences and fragments, then lists five strategies effective writers use to correct run-ons: separating sentences with end punctuation and capitalization, using conjunctions preceded by commas, inserting semicolons, adding conjunctive adverbs with commas, and turning one sentence into a subordinate clause. Examples of fragments involving dependent clauses, -ing and to words, and missing subjects are given, along with explanations and corrections.
The document discusses run-on sentences and sentence fragments, providing examples of each. A run-on sentence improperly combines two independent clauses without punctuation or conjunctions, while a fragment is an incomplete sentence lacking a subject or verb. It is important to avoid both so readers can clearly understand the text.
This document discusses sentence fragments and run-on sentences. It defines a sentence fragment as a group of words that does not express a complete thought, often missing a subject or verb. A run-on sentence improperly combines two or more independent clauses without correct punctuation or capitalization. Examples of fragments and run-on sentences are provided along with explanations of how to identify and correct them.
This document discusses sentence fragments and run-on sentences. A sentence fragment is incomplete and missing either a subject or verb or does not express a complete thought. Run-on sentences incorrectly combine two or more sentences without proper punctuation or capitalization so the reader cannot distinguish where one sentence ends and the next begins. The document provides examples of fragments and run-ons and explains how to identify and correct them.
The document discusses noun phrases and their structure. A noun phrase typically consists of a headword noun and can include determiners and adjectives before the noun (the pre-head string) and other nouns or prepositions after the noun (the post-head string). Only the headword noun is obligatory in a noun phrase - the pre-head and post-head strings can be omitted while still having a complete noun phrase, but omitting the headword leaves an incomplete phrase. Exercises are provided to identify noun phrases and headwords in sentences.
This document discusses defining and non-defining relative clauses. It provides examples of different types of relative pronouns used in defining clauses, including subject, object, and possessive relative pronouns. It also discusses the punctuation used with non-defining relative clauses.
This document discusses different types of sentences including complete sentences, fragments, run-on sentences, and compound sentences. It defines independent and dependent clauses and provides examples. It also discusses ways to identify and fix fragments and run-on sentences such as attaching fragments to complete sentences, adding missing elements, or rewriting. The document emphasizes the importance of sentence structure and variety.
The document summarizes different types of adjective phrases in English, including their structure and syntactic functions. It discusses:
- The typical structure of an adjective phrase includes a premodifier (adverb), head (adjective), and postmodifier (adverb or prepositional phrase).
- Adjectives can function as subject complements, noun pre-modifiers, postpositive modifiers, heads of noun phrases, and in verbless and contingent adjective clauses.
- Adjectives are classified as central if they can be both attributive and predicative, or attributive-only if restricted to modifying nouns.

Relative clauses provide additional information about a noun called the antecedent. There are two types of relative clauses: defining and non-defining. Defining clauses give essential information to identify the antecedent, while non-defining clauses provide non-essential information between commas. Relative pronouns like who, which, that introduce the clause and can be the subject or object, with object pronouns sometimes omitted. The meaning of sentences depends on whether a defining or non-defining clause is used.
The document defines and describes adjective phrases. It begins by explaining that an adjective phrase is a group of words that serves to describe a noun or pronoun, functioning like an adjective. It then provides tips for identifying adjective phrases based on the first word. An adjective phrase can be made of an intensifier and adjective or multiple adjectives.

The document discusses syntax and its basic properties in English. It defines syntax as the property of human language related to sentence construction and how words are grouped to form phrases and sentences. Syntax is part of grammar and studies the syntactic properties of a language. The document then provides examples of basic syntactic structures in English including phrases, clauses, and sentence types.
The document discusses fragments and run-on sentences, providing examples and explanations of each, as well as methods for correcting them. Fragments are groups of words that do not express a complete thought because something important is missing, such as a subject or verb. Run-on sentences improperly combine two or more independent clauses without the proper punctuation. The document offers practice identifying and correcting fragments by adding the missing part of speech, and correcting run-ons by using a period, semicolon, or comma with a conjunction.
Relative clauses are clauses that begin with relative pronouns like who, that, which, whose, where, when to provide additional information about a noun. There are two types - defining relative clauses that identify the noun and non-defining clauses that provide extra information. Relative pronouns can sometimes be omitted in spoken English, especially when they are the object of the clause or when the clause uses a present or past participle with the verb "to be".
The document discusses adjective phrases. It begins by explaining that an adjective phrase is a group of words that serves to describe a noun or pronoun in a sentence, rather than just having an adjective.

1) Latin word order is different from English, with the subject usually coming first followed by objects and the verb at the end.
2) To translate Latin, one must identify the case, number, and gender of nouns and determine if they are subjects, objects, or possessors. Verb tenses and voices must also be identified.
3) A step-by-step process is outlined to approach translating sentences: identify the subject, verb, prepositional phrases, objects, and remaining words to deduce the overall meaning.
4) Practice is emphasized over vocabulary memorization, as understanding grammar and applying
There are three types of prepositions - simple, compound, and phrasal. Prepositions show the relationship between an object and another word in a sentence in terms of time, space, or other senses. Prepositional phrases consist of a preposition and an object, which is usually a noun or pronoun. Prepositional phrases can function as adjectives or adverbs, modifying nouns/pronouns or verbs/adverbs/adjectives respectively. It is important to identify prepositional phrases and their objects correctly.
The document discusses noun phrases and their importance in enriching writing. It provides examples of modifying nouns with adjectives and other words to add more descriptive detail.

Essay from my classmate
Essay 1. name :
Ciana Rogers
Ha Jin’s voice is humble. Reflecting that of an immigrant working to make their place in America. As English is his second language the word choices are simple and easy to follow. However, he is clearly educated and utilizes more colorful vocabulary; for example, “vivacious” and “imminent”. He is able to describe pivotal moments in his life, showing the transition from China to America and his acceptance of his new surroundings. At first, everything smelled “like a combination of chemicals and perfumes” but soon he was “unable to detect it anymore”. During his walk along the river, he describes his home land being “overused and exhausted” compared to an“extraordinarily generous” America.
The main character could easily be described as hard working, determined and courageous. With English as his second language, he was able to buckle down on his studies and gain admittance to an American literature program, then continue onto a university in the United States. Jin continued to show great perseverance as he describes his struggle to work and save money in order to bring his family to America.
The events of this essay are written in chronological order but occurred in the past. The author uses time specific phrases, “In 1982” as well as “in the winter of 1984”. He also utilizes non specific transitional phrases to show the passing of time, “The next spring”, “At the end of the semester” and “The next afternoon”. Jin spoke in great detail about the long process of working, earning and saving money to bring his wife to America. From the various custodial duties of “washing glass doors, picking up trash from the offices” and his wife spending months bribing officials to get her visa approved by performing tasks. The last line of the essay brings the reader back to a more recent time and a hopefulness that their time apart will soon end.
One of the responses about this essay from my classmate:
Hi Ciana,
I have not read this story but I like the way you explain how his word choice comes from his background and where he is from but also that he is intelligent it shows that you were really paying attention to word choice and that you learned the personality of the writer based on that.
You also made a good point on how his 'telling details' of how is view of America was changing was as simple as him not being able to smell the harsh chemicals anymore and how he was seeing his own country in a different light as well.
