The document discusses the four types of sentence structures: simple, compound, complex, and compound-complex. It provides examples and definitions of each type. A simple sentence contains one independent clause. A compound sentence contains two independent clauses joined with a conjunction. A complex sentence contains one independent clause and one or more dependent clauses. A compound-complex sentence contains two or more independent clauses and one or more dependent clauses. The document concludes with a practice quiz to test identification of these sentence structures.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
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.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
3. There are two types of clauses: independent clauses and
dependent clauses.
Independent Clause
An independent clause
(also called a main clause)
can stand alone as a
complete sentence
because its meaning is
complete. It must contain
at least one subject and
one verb.
Dependent Clause
A dependent clause
(also called a subordinate
clause) is a group of words
that contains a subject and
verb but does not express a
complete thought.
Therefore, a dependent
clause cannot be a
complete sentence on its
own.
4. The four basic types of sentence structures :
Simple, Compound, Complex, and Compound-Complex.
Simple sentence. It consists of a single independent
clause, no more, no less. This includes subject and verbs, but can
also include objects.
• He gets up early every day.
• Joy ate many cookies.
• Athena goes to the library and studies every day.
5. A Compound sentence consists of two independent clauses
joined together.You can connect the independent clauses in two ways:
1. Using a comma and a coordinating conjunction.
2. Using a semicolon between the clauses.
6. Examples:
• It was rainy, so we stayed inside.
(Two independent clauses joined by “so” and a comma).
• Everyone was busy; I went to the movie alone.
(Two independent clauses joined by a semicolon)
7. A Complex sentence contains one main
independent clause and one or more dependent clauses.
To join the clauses together ,complex sentences use
subordinating conjunctions.
8. Examples:
• She fell asleep because she was tired.
(Note that there is no comma in this sentence because it
begins with an independent clause.)
• When she was younger, she believed in fairy tales.
(Note the comma in this sentence because it begins with
a dependent clause.)
• After she sent the mail, she went to the shop, which is
near her house.
(One independent clause and two dependent clauses).
9. A Compound-complex sentence
consists of two or more independent clauses
connected by a coordinating conjunction and one or
more dependent clause. This type shares the
characteristics of both compound and complex
sentences.
10. Examples:
• I studied Japanese at one point, but I can’t remember
much of it because it was such a long time ago.
• The kid fell down while she was playing and she
started crying due to pain.
• The cat ran away, but nobody was worried because
he was trained to find his home.
11. Take up this practice quiz and
see if you can determine the
different types of sentences. All
the best!

Editor's Notes
A clause is the part of a sentence that contains a subject and verb.
remember that the number of independent clauses and dependent clauses can also determine the sentence type as a simple, compound, complex, or a compound-complex sentence.”
“Let us take a deeper look at each type of sentence structure and how to form it.”
“There various ways a simple sentence can be constructed. Simple sentences can consist only of one word, and can be longer. Just make sure that in constructing simple sentences longer, always see to it that it only has one independent clause.”
Take note: The dependent clause can come at the beginning of the sentence or at the end. If the dependent clause comes first, use a comma before the independent clause. If the independent clause comes first, we do not need a comma at all.
“Note that just by adding a subordinating conjunction, you can turn an independent clause into a subordinating clause.”
also;;The dependent clause can be anywhere in the sentence
