Module 6 lesson 6.1
This document provides information about three types of sentences: simple sentences, which have one independent clause; compound sentences, which join two independent clauses with a coordinating conjunction; and complex sentences, which have one independent clause and one or more dependent clauses. Examples of each type are given along with explanations of when each type should be used. The document aims to help writers understand and employ different sentence structures to vary their writing.
Module 5 lesson 5.1
There are two types of clauses in English: independent clauses and dependent clauses. An independent clause can stand alone as a simple sentence because it contains a subject and verb and expresses a complete thought. A dependent clause does not express a complete thought on its own and must be attached to an independent clause; it begins with a subordinating conjunction like "because", "when", or "after". Together, the independent and dependent clauses form a complex sentence expressing a full idea. Common time-related subordinating conjunctions that introduce dependent clauses include after, as soon as, before, until, when, whenever, and while.
Module 5 lesson 5.2
The document discusses complex sentences, which contain one independent clause and one or more dependent clauses. It provides examples of complex sentences and notes that the order of the independent and dependent clauses can be reversed when the dependent clause begins with an adverb subordinator. It also notes that a comma should be used after the dependent clause if it comes first, but not if the independent clause is first.
Module 3 lesson 3.3
The document discusses run-on sentences and comma splices, which are two types of sentence errors that occur when two simple sentences are incorrectly joined together without proper punctuation or conjunctions. It provides examples of run-on sentences and comma splices, and explains the correct ways to separate sentences using periods or joining them using coordinating conjunctions like "and", "but", or "so" along with a comma. The key is to identify the individual simple sentences and either separate them with periods or connect them in a way that maintains the intended meaning.
Module 4 lesson 4.1
Prepositions are small words like "of", "to", and "at" that indicate relationships between other words such as time, place, or direction of movement. The document lists many common prepositions and categorizes them as prepositions of place, movement, or time depending on the relationship they indicate. It provides examples of how each type of preposition is used in sentences. Some words like "to" can be either prepositions or other parts of speech depending on how they are used in the context.
Module 8 lesson 8.1
This document discusses subject-verb agreement in sentences, noting that the verb must match the subject in number - singular verbs for singular subjects and plural verbs for plural subjects. It provides examples of sentences with singular and plural subjects. It also addresses cases where the subject has a prepositional phrase, explaining that the subject, not the prepositional phrase, determines the verb form.
Module 7 lesson 7.12
This document discusses complex sentences and subordinate clauses. It provides examples of complex sentences using time subordinators like after, before, until, when, and while. It then introduces reason subordinators because and since, giving examples of their use and noting that they have the same meaning. The document explains that because and since can be used interchangeably to introduce a dependent clause explaining the reason for something.
Module 7 lesson 7.2
This document provides guidelines for correctly punctuating titles of different works. It explains that titles of books, movies, plays, TV shows and magazines should be capitalized in a specific way and underlined when handwritten or italicized in a word processor. It also notes that titles of stories, articles, songs and poems should be enclosed in quotation marks.
Module 4 lesson 4.3
This document provides 4 additional capitalization rules:
1) Capitalize names of specific structures like buildings, roads, and bridges.
2) Capitalize names of specific organizations like businesses, schools, and clubs.
3) Capitalize names of days, months, holidays, and special time periods but not seasons.
4) Capitalize geographic areas but not compass directions.
Examples are given to illustrate the correct and incorrect capitalization for each rule.
Module 6 lesson 6.2
This document outlines four additional rules for using commas:
1. To separate thousands, millions, billions, etc. in numbers but not years or addresses.
2. To separate the parts of dates and years within sentences.
3. To separate parts of a U.S. address except between the state and zip code within a sentence.
4. To use after the greeting and before the closing in letters.
Module 3 lesson 3.1
The document discusses compound sentences and their structure. A compound sentence contains two independent clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction such as "for", "and", "nor", "but", "or", "yet", or "so". Proper punctuation, usually a comma, must be used to separate the two clauses. Examples are provided to illustrate compound sentences and distinguish them from simple sentences containing compound verbs.
Module 5 lesson 5.3
A sentence fragment is an incomplete sentence that lacks either a subject, predicate, or does not communicate a complete thought. Examples of fragments include "Saw that it was time to leave" which lacks a subject and "The king and all his men" which lacks a predicate. Dependent clauses like "Before the test began" and "As soon as you get home" are also fragments because a clause cannot stand alone as a sentence. To fix fragments, an independent clause must be added to form a complete sentence.
Module 3 lesson 3.2
This document discusses the uses of different conjunctions to connect sentences. AND is used to connect two similar ideas or sentences with the same polarity. BUT connects two contrasting or opposite ideas. OR connects alternatives or choices. SO connects a reason with a result. Examples of sentences using each conjunction are provided.
Module 5 lesson 5.4
There are five main rules for using commas that are discussed in the document. The rules cover using commas before coordinating conjunctions in compound sentences, after prepositional phrases at the beginning of sentences, in complex sentences with dependent adverb clauses before independent clauses, after listing and time order signals, and to separate items in a series of three or more items.
Module 6 lesson 6.3
This document provides four additional capitalization rules: (1) capitalize only the first letter of abbreviations for a person's title, (2) capitalize all words in a greeting and the first word in the closing of a letter, (3) capitalize the first and last words of a title, and (4) capitalize the first word of every line of a poem or song. The information comes from a book on academic writing by Hogue published in 2008.
Module 2 lesson 1.1
This document discusses simple sentences and their structure. It notes that a simple sentence contains one subject-verb pair and provides examples of simple sentences with compound subjects and compound verbs. While the subject or verb may be compound, as long as there is only one subject-verb pair, it remains a simple sentence. Formulas are presented to illustrate the subject-verb structure of different simple sentence types.
Module 2 lesson 1.3
This document provides guidelines for capitalization in the English language. It discusses capitalizing the first word of a sentence, the pronoun "I", names of people and their titles, nationalities, languages, religions, ethnic groups, names of school/college courses with numbers, and specific places that could be found on a map. Examples of both correct and incorrect capitalization are given for each guideline. The document is intended to help with capitalization for academic writing.
Module 2 lesson 1.2
The document discusses the uses of the conjunctions "and" and "or" in sentences. It explains that "and" is used to join two or more similar items in positive sentences, while "or" is used to join items in negative sentences or when providing choices or alternatives. Some examples are provided to illustrate the proper uses of each conjunction.
Module 8 lesson 8.2
This document provides examples of pronouns correctly and incorrectly matching their antecedents. In the first example, "he" correctly refers to "Ramon" while changing it to "she" would be incorrect. The second example correctly uses "we" to refer to "my family and I" while changing it to "she" would not match the antecedent.

Space order involves describing a setting from one area to another, such as from top to bottom or left to right. Specific details allow the reader to visualize what is being described rather than relying on vague terms. Sample topic sentences, paragraphs and outlines are provided as models to demonstrate how to structure an effective description.

Module 7 lesson 7.3
- 1. Information taken from: Hogue, A. (2008). First steps in academic writing. Longman: N.Y.
- 2. When you are going to write what other person says, you need to use quotation marks (“ ”). In this lesson you will learn rules for punctuating quotations correctly.
- 3. Rule 1 Quotation marks “ ” are placed before and after a speaker’s EXACT words. “Did you make that mess?” his mom asked. The teacher said, “Quotation marks are important.” She said, “Good bye.”
- 4. Rule 2 Use a reporting phrase (he says, he said, he stated, etc) before, after, or in the middle of the quotation. Before: The teacher said, “Quotation marks are important.” After “Did you make that mess?” his mom asked. In the middle “Quotation marks,” the teacher said, “are important.”
- 5. Rule 3 Capitalize the first word of each sentence in a quotation. When a quoted sentence is in separate parts, begin the second part with a small letter. The teacher said, “Quotation marks are important.” “Did you make that mess?” his mom asked. “Quotation marks,” the teacher said, “are important.”
- 6. Rule 4 We usually use a comma to separate the quotation mark from the rest of the sentence. The teacher said, “Quotation marks are important.” “Quotation marks,” the teacher said, “are important.” “This is a good book,” stated Tom.
- 7. Rule 5 Commas (,), periods (.), and question marks (?) go inside the second quotation mark . The teacher said, “Quotation marks are important.” “Did you make that mess?” his mom asked. “This is a good book,” stated Tom. Incorrect “Did you make that mess” ? his mom asked. The teacher said, “Quotation marks are important” .
