Exercise : Identifying Independent and Dependent ClausesA comma splice is the use of a comma between two independent clauses. You can usually fix the error by changing the comma to a period and therefore making the two clauses into two separate sentences, by changing the comma to a semicolon, or by making one clause dependent by inserting a dependent marker word in front of it.The following sentences in italics are incorrect. In the first question, fix the comma splice1.Incorrect: I like this class, it is very interesting.Repair the Fused SentenceFused sentences happen when there are two independent clauses not separated by any form of punctuation. This error is also known as a run-on sentence. The error can sometimes be corrected by adding a period, semicolon, or colon to separate the two sentences.2. Incorrect: My professor is intelligent I've learned a lot from her.Fix the Sentence FragmentSentence fragments happen by treating a dependent clause or other incomplete thought as a complete sentence. You can usually fix this error by combining it with another sentence to make a complete thought or by removing the dependent marker.3. Incorrect: Because I forgot the exam was today.Answer : Identifying Independent and Dependent Clauses1. I like this class. It is very interesting.-OR-I like this class; it is very interesting.-OR-I like this class, and it is very interesting.-OR-I like this class because it is very interesting.-OR-Because it is very interesting, I like this class.2.

How can a person find patriotism in a local night club? Well, it did not take me too long. About four weeks ago in a little night club in Louisville, Kentucky, a couple of my friends, Rick and Lon, the duo who were providing the entertainment that night for the club.2. For the past twenty years, the Survey Research Center at the University of Michigan has been measuring the level of Americans' trust and confidence in their politicians and quasi-political trust and confidence in their political institutions and their leaders. "Political" being all levels of government, and "quasi-political" churches, labor unions, large professional/business associations, educational institutions, and the like. The result is that a very sharp decline has taken place every year since 1964.3. For 200 years Americans believed in better jobs, better homes, a better life for one's children. This confidence no longer exists. Polls now indicate that fewer Americans feel they are better off today than they were five years ago. A public-opinion analysis group has found that large numbers of Americans, at some times and in some places, see themselves as lower on the ladder. Adding worse living conditions and anticipation of further decline over the next five years.4. Well, in looking at the picture at the left you see an old lady. She has a very funny look on her face. As if she's lonely and just wants to be left alone. She also looks as if she has seen a lot and experienced lots of things.5. A president is an appointed leader. Someone who is a decision maker in the executive branch of our government. This doesn't necessarily mean that the person the people elect is capable. Just hopefully assumes. Assumes through his past record as a politician, over the years' buildup of experience and handling situations.Answer : Sentence Fragments Exercise 2Here are some suggested answers.

2. Do you think people all over the world are largely similar? Why or why not? From my perspective, people all over the world are both largely similar and amply dissimilar. By saying that all people in the world are largely similar, I mean that the common aspirations of all humanities are nearly the same, i.e. pursuing peace, stability, development, common prosperity, justice and harmony, all of which are lofty goals to be realized through concerted efforts globally.

英语写作Types of Sentences
1.Identify the type of sentences listed.1.Ms.Lopez went to the store.2.Where is the store?3. Why did she check her list?4. Shut that door now.5. Stop, take your hands off me!6. Look, that man has green hair!2.We should know how to define simple, compound, and complex sentences before using them consciously .Experienced writers use a variety of sentences to make their writing interesting and lively. Too many simple sentences, for example, will sound immature while too many long sentences will be difficult to read and hard to understand.SIMPLE SENTENCEA simple sentence, also called an independent clause, contains a subject and a verb, and it expresses a complete thought. In the following simple sentences, subjects are in yellow, and verbs are in green.The three examples above are all simple sentences. Note that sentence B contains a compound subject, and sentence C contains a compound verb. Simple sentences, therefore, contain a subject and verb and express a complete thought, but they can also contain a compound subjects or verbs.COMPOUND SENTENCEA compound sentence contains two independent clauses joined by a coordinator. The coordinators are as follows: for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so. (Helpful hint: The first letter of each of the coordinators spells FANBOYS.) Except for very short sentences, coordinators are always preceded by a comma. In the following compound sentences, subjects are in yellow, verbs are in green, and the coordinators and the commas that precede them are in red.A. I tried to speak Spanish, and my friendtried to speak English.B. Alejandro played football, so Mariawent shopping.C. Alejandro played football, for Mariawent shopping.The above three sentences are compoundsentences. Each sentence contains two independent clauses, and they are joined by a coordinator with acomma preceding it. Note how the conscious use of coordinators can change the relationship between the clauses. Sentences B and C, for example, are identical except for the coordinators. In sentence B, which action occurred first? Obviously, "Alejandro played football" first, and as a consequence, "Maria went shopping. In sentence C, "Maria went shopping" first. In sentence C, "Alejandro played football" because, possibly, he didn't have anything else to do, for or because "Maria went shopping." How can the use of other coordinators change the relationship between the two clauses? What implications would the use of "yet" or "but" have on the meaning of the sentence?COMPLEX SENTENCEA complex sentence has an independent clause joined by one or more dependent clauses. A complex sentence always has a subordinator such as because, since, after, although, or when or a relative pronoun such as that, who, or which. In the following complex sentences, subjects are in yellow, verbs are in green, and the subordinators and their commas (when required) are in red.A. When he handed in his homework, heforgot to give the teacher the last page.B. The teacher returned the homeworkafter she noticed the error.C. The students are studying because theyhave a test tomorrow.D. After they finished studying, Juan andMaria went to the movies.E. Juan and Maria went to the moviesafter they finished studying.When a complex sentence begins with a subordinator such as sentences A and D, a comma is required at the end of the dependent clause. When the independent clause begins the sentence with subordinators in the middle as in sentences B, C, and E, no comma is required. If a comma is placed before the subordinators in sentences B, C, and E, it is wrong.Note that sentences D and E are the same except sentence D begins with the dependent clause which is followed by a comma, and sentence E begins with theindependent clause which contains no comma. The comma after the dependent clause in sentence D is required, and experienced listeners of English will often hear a slight pause there. In sentence E, however, there will be no pause when the independent clause begins the sentence.COMPLEX SENTENCES / ADJECTIVE CLAUSES Finally, sentences containing adjective clauses (or dependent clauses) are also complex because they contain an independent clause and a dependent clause. The subjects, verbs, and subordinators are marked the same as in the previous sentences, and in these sentences, the independent clauses are also underlined.Adjective Clauses are studied in this site separately, but for now it is important to know that sentences containing adjective clauses are complex."sentence identification" quizzes1: Helen Keller was born in Tuscumbia, Alabama, in 1880 and died in 1968.SimpleCompoundComplex2: Until she was 19 months of age, her sight and hearing were normal.SimpleCompoundComplex3: At the age of 19 months, a severe illness left her deaf and blind.SimpleCompoundComplex4: When she was seven, she began her education in reading and writing with Anne Sullivan of the Perkins Institute for the Blind.SimpleCompoundComplex5: Through persistence and stubbornness, Anne breaks through Helen's walls of silence and darkness and teaches her to communicate.SimpleCompoundComplex6: Helen Keller learned to read by the Braille system, and she learned to write by using a specially constructed typewriter.SimpleCompoundComplex7: Later, she entered Radcliffe College and graduated with honors in 1904.SimpleCompoundComplex8: Helen Keller's story needed to be told, so in 1962, a beautiful movie was made about her life.SimpleCompoundComplex9: "If there were only joy in the world, we could never learn to be brave and patient." -- Helen KellerSimpleCompoundComplex10: "Life is either a daring adventure, or it is nothing." -- Helen KellerSimpleCompoundComplextextbook: p37 P38 exercise.3.

1. The following essay lacks supporting details at certain key points. Identify the spots where details are needed.Formula for Happiness1Everyone has his or her own formula for happiness. 2As we go through life, we discover the activities that make us feel best. 3I’ve already discovered three keys to happiness. 4I depend on karate, music, and self-hypnosis.5Karate helps me feel good physically. 6Before taking karate lessons, I was tired most of the time, my muscles felt like foam rubber, and I was twenty pounds overweight. 7After three months of these lessons, I saw an improvement in my physical condition. 8Also, my endurance has increased. 9At the end of my workday, I used to drag myself home to eat and watch television all night. 10Now, I have enough energy to play with my children, shop, or see a movie. 11Karate has made me feel healthy, strong, and happy.The spot where supporting details are needed occurs after sentence _____.12Singing with a chorus has helped me achieve emotional well-being by expressing my feelings. 13In situations where other people would reveal their feelings, I would remain quiet. 14Since joining the chorus, however, I have an outlet for joy, anger, or sadness. 15When I sing, I pour my emotions into the music and don’t have to feel shy. 16For this reason, I most enjoy singing certain kinds of music, since they demand real depth of feeling.The first spot where supporting details are needed occurs after sentence ____.The second spot occurs after sentence _____.17Self-hypnosis gives me peace of mind. 18This is a total relaxation technique, which I learned several years ago. 19Essentially I breathe deeply and concentrate on relaxing all my muscles. 20I then repeat a key suggestion to myself. 21Through self-hypnosis, I have gained control over several bad habits that have long been haunting me. 22I have also learned to reduce the stress that goes along with my secretarial job. 23Now I can handle the boss’s demands or unexpected work without feeling tense.The first spot where supporting details are needed occurs after sentence ____.The second spot occurs after sentence _____.24In short, my physical, emotional, and mental well-being have been greatly increased through karate, music, and self-hypnosis. 25These activities have become important elements in my formula for happiness.2. The following essay contains irrelevant sentences that do not relate to the thesis of the essay or support the topic sentence of the paragraph in which they appear. Cross out the irrelevant sentences and write the numbers of those sentences in the spaces provided.Playing on the Browns1For the past three summers, I have played first base on a softball team known as the Browns. 2We play a long schedule, including playoffs, and everybody takes the games pretty seriously. 3In that respect, we’re no different from any other of the thousand or so teams in our city. 4But in one respect, we are different. In an all-male league, we have a woman on the team---me. 5Thus I’ve had a chance to observe something about human nature by seeing how the men have treated me. 6Some have been disbelieving; some have been patronizing; and, fortunately, some have simply accepted me.7One new team in the league was particularly flabbergasted to see me start the game at firstbase. 8Nobody on the Comets had commented one way or the other when he saw me warming up, but playing the actual game was another story. 9The Comets’ first-base coach leaned over to me with a disbelieving grin and said, “You mean, you’re starting, and those three guys are on the bench?”11I nodded and he shrugged, still amazed. 12He probably thought I was the manager’s wife. 13When I came up to bat, the Comet pitcher smiled and called to his outfielders to move way in on me. 14Now, I don’t have a lot of power, but I’m not exactly feeble. 15I used to work out on the exercise machines at a local health club until it closed, and now I lift weights at home a couple of times a week.16 I wiped the smirks off their faces with a line drive double over the left fielder’s head.The number of the irrelevant sentence: _____17The next game, we played another new team, the Argyles, and their attitude was patronizing. 18The Argyles had seen me take batting practice, so they didn’t do anything so rash as to draw their outfield way in. 19They had respect fro my ability as a player. 20However, they tried to annoy me with phony concern. 21For example, a redheaded Argyle got on base in the first inning and said to me, “You’d better be careful, Hon. 22When you have your foot on the bag, somebody might step on it. 23You can get hurt in this game.”24I was mad, but I have worked out several mental techniques to control my anger because it interferes with my playing ability. 25Well, this delicate little girl survived the season without injury, which is more than I can say for some of the “he-men” on the Argyles.The number of the irrelevant sentence: ____26Happily, most of the teams in the league have accepted me, just as the Browns did. 27The men on the Browns coached and criticized me (and occasionally cursed me) just like anyone else. 28Because I’m a religious person, I don’t approve of cursing, but I don’t say anything about it to my teammates. 29They are not amazed when I get a hit or stretch for a wide throw. 30My average this year was higher than the averages of several of my teammates, yet none of them acted resentful or threatened. 31On several occasions I was taken out late in a game for a pinch runner, but other slow players on the team were also lifted at times for pinch runners. 32Every woman should have a team like the Browns!The number of the irrelevant sentence: ____33Because I really had problems only with the new teams, I’ve concluded that it’s when people are faced with an unfamiliar situation that they react defensively. 34Once a rival team has gotten used to seeing me on the field, I’m no big deal. 35Still, I suspect that the Browns secretly feel we’re a little special. 36After all, we won the championship with a woman on the team.3. The following essays could be revised to improve their coherence. Answer the questions about coherence that come after each essay.Noise Pollution1Natural sounds---waves, wind, birdsong---are so soothing that companies sell recordings of them to anxious people seeking a relaxing atmosphere at home or in the car. 2One reason why “environmental sounds” are big business is the fact that ordinary citizens, especially city dwellers, are bombarded by noise pollution. 3On the way to work, on the job, and on the way home, the typical urban resident must cope with a continuing barrage of unpleasant sounds.4The noise level in an office can be unbearable. 5Form nine to five o’clock, phones and fax machines ring, computer keyboards chatter, intercoms buzz, and copy machines thump back andforth. 6Every time the receptionists can’t find people, they resort to a nerve-shattering public address system. 7And because the managers worry about the employees’ morale, they graciously provide the endless droning of canned music. 8This effectively eliminates any possibility of a moment of blessed silence.9Travelling home from work provides no relief from the noisiness of the office. 10The ordinary sounds of blaring taxi horns and rumbling buses are occasionally punctuated by the ear-piercing screech of car brakes. 11Taking a shortcut through the park will bring the weary worker face to face with chanting religious cults, freelance musicians, screaming children, and barking dogs. 12None of these sounds can compare with the large radios many park visitors carry. 13Each radio blasts out something different, from heavy-metal rock to baseball, at decibel levels so strong that they make eardrums throb in pain. 14If there are birds singing or wind in the trees, the harried commuter will never hear them.15Even a trip to work at 6 or 7 A.M. isn’t quiet. 16No matter which route a worker takes, there is bound to be a noisy construction site somewhere along the way. 17Hard hats will shout from third-story windows to warn their coworkers below before heaving debris out and sending it crashing to earth. 18Huge front-end loaders will crunch into these piles of rubble and back up, their warning signals letting out loud, jarring beeps. 19Air hammers begin an earsplitting chorus of rat-a-tat-tat sounds guaranteed to shatter sanity as well as concrete. 20Before reaching the office, the worker is already completely frazzled.21Noise pollution is as dangerous as any other kind of pollution. 22The endless pressure of noise probably triggers countless nervous breakdowns, vicious arguments, and bouts of depression. 23And imagine the world problems we could solve, if only the noise stopped long enough to let us think.1.In “Noise Pollution,” what is the number of the sentence to which the transition word Alsocould be added in para. 2?______2.In the last sentence of para. 2 to what does the pronoun This refer?__________3.What is the number of the sentence to which the transition word But could be added in para.3?_________4.What is the number of the sentence to which the transition word Then would be added in para.4?_____________5.What is the number of the sentence to which the transition word Meanwhile could be added inpara. 4?__________6.What word is used as a synonym for debris in para. 4?__________Weight loss1The big fraternity party turned out to be the low point of my first year at college. 2I was in heaven until I discovered that my date with handsome Greg, the fraternity vice president, was a hoax: He had used me to win the “ugliest date” contest. 3I ran sobbing back to the dorm, wanting to resign from the human race. 4Then I realized that it was time to stop kidding myself about my weight. 5Within the next two years, I lost forty-two pounds and turned my life around. 6Losing weight gave me self-confidence socially, emotionally, and professionally.7I am more outgoing socially. 8Just being able to abandon dark colors, baggy sweaters, and tent dresses in favor of bright colors, T-shirts, and designer jeans made me fell better in social situations. 9I am able to do more things. 10I once turned down an invitation for a great camping tripwith my best friend’s family, making up excuses about sun poisoning and allergies. 11Really, I was too embarrassed to tell them that I couldn’t fit into the bathroom in their Winnebago! 12I made up for it last summer when I was one of the organizers of a college backpacking trip through the Rockies.13Most important, losing weight helped me seek new professional goals. 14When I was obese, I organized my whole life around my weight, as if it were a defect I could do nothing about. 15With my good grades, I could have chosen almost any major the college offered, but I had limited my goal to teaching kindergarten because I felt that little children wouldn’t judge how I looked. 16Once I was no longer fat, I realized that I love working with all sorts of people. 17I became a campus guide and even had small parts in college theater productions. 18As a result, last year I changed my major to public relations. 19The area fascinates me, and I now have good job prospects there.20I have also become more emotionally honest. 21Rose, at the college counseling center, helped me see that my “fat and jolly” personality had been false. 22I was afraid others would reject me if I didn’t always go along with their suggestions. 23I eventually put Rose’s advice to the test. 24My roommates were planning an evening at a Greek restaurant. 25I loved the restaurant’s atmosphere, but there wasn’t much I like on the menu. 26Finally, in a shaky voice I said, “Actually, I’m not crazy about lamb. 27How about Chinese food?”28They scolded me for not mentioning it before, and we had dinner at a Chinese restaurant. 29We all agreed it was one of our best evenings out.30Fortunately, the low point of my first year turned out to be the turning point leading to what promises to be an exciting senior year. 31Greg’s cruel joke became a strange sort of favor, and I’ve gone from wanting to resign from the human race to welcoming each day as a source of fresh adventure and self-discovery.1.In “Weight Loss,” what is the number of the sentence to which the transition words For onething could be added in paragraph 2?_____2.What is the number of the sentence to which the transition word Also could be added inparagraph 2?_____3.What is the number of the sentence to which the transition word But could be added inparagraph 2?______4.In sentence 11, to what does the pronoun them refer?__________5.What is the number of the sentence to which the transition word However could be added inparagraph 3?_______6.What word is used as a synonym for obese in paragraph 3?_____7.How many times is the key word weight used in the essay?_____8.What is the number of the supporting paragraph that should be placed in the emphatic finalposition? _____。

Run-on Sentences:A Skill Sheet________________________________________________________________________ A run-on sentence occurs when two separate sentences are joined without any formof punctuation, or any sort of word connecting them. It is without question thesimplest of all sentence errors in that its cause is not the result of any particular misunderstanding or misconception.Below are several examples of run-on sentences.Examples of Run-on Sentences:1. The computer is a useful tool it can be used for writing papers.2. My mother says I can go first I have to empty the garbage, though.3. Once a time there was a man his name was Josh.4. Bees don’t eat flowers they gather nectar from them then they go back to thehive.5. I heard the tires squeal then the car came around the corner I got out of the wayfast.Explanation of the Problem:Run-on sentences usually occur because students either write very quickly, or aren’tpaying particular attention to their work. Such a reason should come as good news tomost students because it means that fixing the problem is often as simple as re-readingone’s work and then putting in an appropriate punctuation mark.How to Fix It:Fixing a run-on sentence is a matter of 1) detecting the sentence in the first place, andthen 2) adding in a punctuation mark.To detect the presence of a run-on sentence, a student should re-read his or her work. Reading aloud tends to be more effective than reading to oneself because voiceintonation reveals where individual sen tences start and stop. A sentence whichshould end in a period is typically accompanied by a drop in the voice. A sentence which should end with a question mark will be characterized by a rise in one’s voice. Likewise,a sentence that should end with an exclamation point will usually end with the voicetaking on a more forceful tone, or a punch.Reading the following sentences aloud will demonstrate the three types of sounds thatmight accompany the end of a sentence.The drop created by a period: I have to go.The rise created by a question mark: I have to go?The punch created by an exclamation point: I have to go!When reading a piece of writing aloud, a run-on sentence can easily be identified by listening to the tone of one’s own voice. Consider, for example, these next three run-on sentences:I have to go my dad says it’s time to eat.I have to go I’m not ready.I have to go if I don’t I’ll be late.The run-ons are thus easily detected, and can be corrected in the following manner:I have to go. My dad says it’s time to eat.I have to go? I’m not ready.I have to go! If I don’t I’ll be late.Fixing a run-on sentence, then, can be as simple as reading one’s work out loud and listening for places in which the voice signals a new sentence. At that point a student must decide which punctuation mark (a period, an exclamation point, or a question mark)will be most appropriate for the sentence.________________________________________________________________________Run-on Sentences:Exercises________________________________________________________________________Part OneDirections:Eliminate the following run-on sentences by inserting an appropriatepunctuation mark (a period, question mark, or exclamation point).1.

Exercise : Identifying Independent and Dependent ClausesA comma splice is the use of a comma between two independent clauses. You can usually fix the error by changing the comma to a period and therefore making the two clauses into two separate sentences, by changing the comma to a semicolon, or by making one clause dependent by inserting a dependent marker word in front of it.The following sentences in italics are incorrect. In the first question, fix the comma splice1.Incorrect: I like this class, it is very interesting.Repair the Fused SentenceFused sentences happen when there are two independent clauses not separated by any form of punctuation. This error is also known as a run-on sentence. The error can sometimes be corrected by adding a period, semicolon, or colon to separate the two sentences.2. Incorrect: My professor is intelligent I've learned a lot from her.Fix the Sentence FragmentSentence fragments happen by treating a dependent clause or other incomplete thought as a complete sentence. You can usually fix this error by combining it with another sentence to make a complete thought or by removing the dependent marker.3. Incorrect: Because I forgot the exam was today.Answer : Identifying Independent and Dependent Clauses1. I like this class. It is very interesting.-OR-I like this class; it is very interesting.-OR-I like this class, and it is very interesting.-OR-I like this class because it is very interesting.-OR-Because it is very interesting, I like this class.2.

How can a person find patriotism in a local night club? Well, it did not take me too long. About four weeks ago in a little night club in Louisville, Kentucky, a couple of my friends, Rick and Lon, the duo who were providing the entertainment that night for the club.2. For the past twenty years, the Survey Research Center at the University of Michigan has been measuring the level of Americans' trust and confidence in their politicians and quasi-political trust and confidence in their political institutions and their leaders. "Political" being all levels of government, and "quasi-political" churches, labor unions, large professional/business associations, educational institutions, and the like. The result is that a very sharp decline has taken place every year since 1964.3. For 200 years Americans believed in better jobs, better homes, a better life for one's children. This confidence no longer exists. Polls now indicate that fewer Americans feel they are better off today than they were five years ago. A public-opinion analysis group has found that large numbers of Americans, at some times and in some places, see themselves as lower on the ladder. Adding worse living conditions and anticipation of further decline over the next five years.4. Well, in looking at the picture at the left you see an old lady. She has a very funny look on her face. As if she's lonely and just wants to be left alone. She also looks as if she has seen a lot and experienced lots of things.5. A president is an appointed leader.
