I can define and identify clauses and phrases.
I can distinguish between a dependent clause and an independent clause.

Grammatical PhraseA group of words that has a specific
function in a sentence “Group of words” means that the words are all
right next to each other in a sentence; you can’t just pick random words from a sentence a call them a phrase
Example: prepositional phrase (on the floor)Function= to give you a location
A phrase DOES NOT contain a subject and verb.
![Page 7: Helping Verbs! Helping Verbs! There are 23.... Am, is, are! Was and were! Being, been, and be! Has, have, had! Do, does, did! Shall, should, will, and](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649cc35503460f9498bbe1/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Is a phrase ever a complete thought?
Thumbs up for yes.Thumbs down for no.
Hint: Think about what a thought or sentence must contain to be considered grammatically complete.
![Page 10: Helping Verbs! Helping Verbs! There are 23.... Am, is, are! Was and were! Being, been, and be! Has, have, had! Do, does, did! Shall, should, will, and](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649cc35503460f9498bbe1/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

![Page 11: Helping Verbs! Helping Verbs! There are 23.... Am, is, are! Was and were! Being, been, and be! Has, have, had! Do, does, did! Shall, should, will, and](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649cc35503460f9498bbe1/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
1) Going to the store
2) By the door
3) I read the book
4) Seeing the movie

![Page 12: Helping Verbs! Helping Verbs! There are 23.... Am, is, are! Was and were! Being, been, and be! Has, have, had! Do, does, did! Shall, should, will, and](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649cc35503460f9498bbe1/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
True or False: A clause is always a complete sentence.
Thumbs up for true.Thumbs down for false.
![Page 13: Helping Verbs! Helping Verbs! There are 23.... Am, is, are! Was and were! Being, been, and be! Has, have, had! Do, does, did! Shall, should, will, and](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649cc35503460f9498bbe1/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Dependent ClausesCannot “stand alone” as a complete sentencesHave a subject AND a verb but DO NOT express
complete thoughts
Examples:When I was young
(Well, when you were young what?)
As the bell rang (Well, as the bell rang what?)
Dependent clauses depend on having more to the sentence to be complete.
![Page 14: Helping Verbs! Helping Verbs! There are 23.... Am, is, are! Was and were! Being, been, and be! Has, have, had! Do, does, did! Shall, should, will, and](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649cc35503460f9498bbe1/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Independent Clauses Can “stand alone” as complete sentences Have a subject AND a verb AND express
complete thoughts
Examples: She ran to the store.
Subject=She, verb=ran, left wondering information?- No
I already ate. Subject=I, verb=ate, left wondering information?-
No

Fragments= incomplete sentences
A fragment might :be missing a subjectbe missing a verbnot express a complete thought
Dependent clauses are fragments when they are on their own because they leave you wanting information. (They don’t express a complete thoughts.)
![Page 20: Helping Verbs! Helping Verbs! There are 23.... Am, is, are! Was and were! Being, been, and be! Has, have, had! Do, does, did! Shall, should, will, and](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649cc35503460f9498bbe1/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The boy in the class. Missing verb
Corrected: The boy is in the class.
Is in the class. Missing subject

When the boy is in the class Does not express a complete thought. You
are left wondering: When the boy is in the class, what? Corrected: When the boy is in the class, he always
pays attention.

Fragments are not grammatically correct. However, when might be an appropriate time to use them?
(Hint: Think about the texts that you read and if fragments are present in them. Also think about the communication you do on a daily basis. When don’t we need to be grammatically correct?)

Using periods/capital letters
and semi-colons to fix
run-sentences
![Page 29: Helping Verbs! Helping Verbs! There are 23.... Am, is, are! Was and were! Being, been, and be! Has, have, had! Do, does, did! Shall, should, will, and](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649cc35503460f9498bbe1/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
What are the three criteria of a complete sentence (independent clause)?
1-____________ 2-____________ 3-____________
![Page 30: Helping Verbs! Helping Verbs! There are 23.... Am, is, are! Was and were! Being, been, and be! Has, have, had! Do, does, did! Shall, should, will, and](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649cc35503460f9498bbe1/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
A run-on sentence is when you combine many complete thoughts (independent clauses) in one sentence and you do not use the proper punctuation to join them.
Example:Romeo and Juliet is a great play the
characters are very interesting. Independent clause 1: Romeo and Juliet is a great
play Independent clause 2: the characters make it
interesting.What’s joining them?: Nothing (Gasp! OH NO!)
![Page 31: Helping Verbs! Helping Verbs! There are 23.... Am, is, are! Was and were! Being, been, and be! Has, have, had! Do, does, did! Shall, should, will, and](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649cc35503460f9498bbe1/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Run-on sentences will always be long sentences.
A) TrueB) False
![Page 32: Helping Verbs! Helping Verbs! There are 23.... Am, is, are! Was and were! Being, been, and be! Has, have, had! Do, does, did! Shall, should, will, and](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649cc35503460f9498bbe1/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
You do need some kind of punctuation to join together the independent clauses in a run-on sentence. However, YOU CANNOT SIMPLY USE A COMMA. THIS CREATES A COMMA SPLICE.
2 FACTS ABOUT COMMA SPLICES:
A comma splice is NOT grammatically correct.
Comma splices drive Miss Hayes NUTS.
![Page 33: Helping Verbs! Helping Verbs! There are 23.... Am, is, are! Was and were! Being, been, and be! Has, have, had! Do, does, did! Shall, should, will, and](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649cc35503460f9498bbe1/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
To fix a run-on:
Insert a period between the independent clauses and capitalize the letter beginning each independent clause.
Example: Romeo and Juliet is a great play. The characters make it interesting.
![Page 34: Helping Verbs! Helping Verbs! There are 23.... Am, is, are! Was and were! Being, been, and be! Has, have, had! Do, does, did! Shall, should, will, and](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649cc35503460f9498bbe1/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
To fix a run-on:
Insert a semi-colon between two RELATED independent clauses.
The semi-colon emphasizes the relationship between the two independent clauses.
There is no capital letter after the semi-colon unless the independent clause begins with a proper noun.
Example: Romeo and Juliet is a great play; the characters make it interesting.
![Page 35: Helping Verbs! Helping Verbs! There are 23.... Am, is, are! Was and were! Being, been, and be! Has, have, had! Do, does, did! Shall, should, will, and](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649cc35503460f9498bbe1/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)

The following sentence is a run-on sentence because it is so long:When she was a kid, Suzy loved playing in the mud and examining bugs, but her favorite thing to do was to ride her bike to 7-11 and spend at least an hour deciding how she would spend her $2 allowance that she got once per week from her mom for doing chores around the house.

The comma which appears in a list before the FANBOYS is called an oxford comma.
It is usually optional. Some publications use it. Others don’t.
Miss Hayes prefers it.
It is also called the Harvard comma.
![Page 44: Helping Verbs! Helping Verbs! There are 23.... Am, is, are! Was and were! Being, been, and be! Has, have, had! Do, does, did! Shall, should, will, and](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649cc35503460f9498bbe1/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
“I’d like to thank my parents, Oprah and God.”
Without the comma before and, it makes it seem like your parents are Oprah and God.

Use a comma before a FANBOYS which joins together two independent clauses (complete thoughts).
I have an Uncle Jim, and I have an Uncle Tom.
She went to the mall, for she needed new jeans.
Joe is going to the movies this weekend, or he is going to just stay home and relax.

Underline the FANBOYS and add the comma if necessary.
1)They are running late, so they need to hurry.
2)It is not her fault, nor is it my fault. 3)Do you want the pink shirt or the blue
shirt?4)It’s late, yet I am not sleepy. Remember: Only add
the comma before the FANBOYS if there is an independent clause on the other side of it.
![Page 48: Helping Verbs! Helping Verbs! There are 23.... Am, is, are! Was and were! Being, been, and be! Has, have, had! Do, does, did! Shall, should, will, and](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649cc35503460f9498bbe1/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
If you can insert “that” after “so” in a sentence, you do not have an independent clause after “so”.
I wanted to take the quiz early so I wouldn’t have to worry about it over the weekend.
“I wouldn’t have to worry about it over the weekend” certainly seems like an independent clause. I wanted to take the quiz early so that I wouldn’t have to
worry about it over the weekend. No comma before “so” because there’s actaully a “that” after it
![Page 49: Helping Verbs! Helping Verbs! There are 23.... Am, is, are! Was and were! Being, been, and be! Has, have, had! Do, does, did! Shall, should, will, and](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649cc35503460f9498bbe1/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)

Some nouns don’t add an s to be plural. They change their spelling to become plural.Examples:
man men, octopus octopi, child children
When this is the case, you add an ‘s to the already plural noun. men’s, octopi’s, children’s
mens’ is incorrect; it is saying you need an s to make men plural, but you don’t.
