AGENDA Warm Up Review Homework Review of Coordination/Subordination Idioms (For Sentence Errors and

Improving Sentences) البغل سباق

REVIEW HOMEWORK What questions did you have

COORDINATION/SUBORDINATION Coordination used to express logical connection

between two independent ideas, often the error is with using the wrong coordinator. 1. Ben Franklin was a respected and talented states-

man, and he was most famous for his discovery of electricity.

Subordination is used with dependent clauses, the faults often come up with two or more dependent clauses but no independent clauses. Since the small electronics industry is one of the

world’s fastest growing sectors, because demand for the computer chip continues to grow.

IDIOMS Idioms are expressions or phrases

unique to the English language. They often involve prepositional phrases

rather than American expressions like “kick the bucket”
