A sentence base is the minimum required for a sentence. The most basic sentence contains a
noun phrase (NP) and a verb phrase (VP).
Sentence Bases

Sentence Base
We can also add the following optional third elements to the clause:
an object (O)
a complement (C) and/or an adverbial (AV).
We add these elements to the clause to make a more informative sentence
![Page 12: Lesson 3 Sentence Expansion](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070316/5558883ed8b42a5d328b50c3/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Sentence Base
ObjectBrent met Olivia.
![Page 13: Lesson 3 Sentence Expansion](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070316/5558883ed8b42a5d328b50c3/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Sentence Base
ComplementOlivia was a year older.
![Page 14: Lesson 3 Sentence Expansion](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070316/5558883ed8b42a5d328b50c3/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Sentence Base
AdverbialBrent fell in love the first time he saw her.
![Page 15: Lesson 3 Sentence Expansion](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070316/5558883ed8b42a5d328b50c3/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Sentence Expansion
1. Coordination 2. Subordination
![Page 16: Lesson 3 Sentence Expansion](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070316/5558883ed8b42a5d328b50c3/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Sentence Expansion
Coordination means “being of equal structural rank.”
Coordination occurs when we use a coordinator (or, and, but, nor, yet, so) to connect parts of a
sentence together.
![Page 17: Lesson 3 Sentence Expansion](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070316/5558883ed8b42a5d328b50c3/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Sentence Expansion
We can use coordination to connect words or phrases:
1. Brent was happy but nervous.2. He was happy with having met a beautiful girl but nervous because of his personality.
![Page 18: Lesson 3 Sentence Expansion](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070316/5558883ed8b42a5d328b50c3/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Sentence Expansion
We can use coordinated elements in the subject or the predicate.
Her beauty and popularity was too much to resist.
The opportunity was new and exciting.
![Page 19: Lesson 3 Sentence Expansion](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070316/5558883ed8b42a5d328b50c3/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Sentence Expansion
Subordination means ‘being of lower structural rank.’
Words that are added to the bare sentence base are said to be subordinate because they are
grammatically secondary to the main elements.
![Page 20: Lesson 3 Sentence Expansion](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070316/5558883ed8b42a5d328b50c3/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Sentence Expansion
Subordinating elements modify the meaning of the sentence base.
We call theses subordinating elements modifiers. Modifiers are absolutely essential to writing
effectively because they provide vital, substantial, and specific information.
![Page 21: Lesson 3 Sentence Expansion](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070316/5558883ed8b42a5d328b50c3/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

2. Appositive Phrases 3. Adverbial Clauses 4. Participial Phrases 5. Absolute Phrases
![Page 22: Lesson 3 Sentence Expansion](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070316/5558883ed8b42a5d328b50c3/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Sentence Expansion 1. Relative Clauses
Relative clauses enable the writer to embed a complete subject/predicate into a noun phrase.
Relative = relationship
Relative Clauses are introduced by either a relative pronoun (that, who, or which) or a
relative adverb (where, when, why)
![Page 23: Lesson 3 Sentence Expansion](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070316/5558883ed8b42a5d328b50c3/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Sentence Expansion 1. Relative Clauses
Example:1. Brent cautiously took Olivia out on a date.2. The date consisted of dinner and a movie.
What is the relationship between these two sentences? How can we make the
relationship more clear?
![Page 24: Lesson 3 Sentence Expansion](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070316/5558883ed8b42a5d328b50c3/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Sentence Expansion 1. Relative Clauses
Combining the sentences requires the use of a relative clause:
Brent cautiously took Olivia out on a date which consisted of dinner and a movie.
![Page 25: Lesson 3 Sentence Expansion](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070316/5558883ed8b42a5d328b50c3/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Sentence Expansion 2. Appositive Phrases
An appositive phrase is a reduced sentence headed by a noun, functioning, just like a relative clause, to define or restrict the noun by adding definition-like
details to it.
Appositive phrases rename nouns or noun phrases.
![Page 26: Lesson 3 Sentence Expansion](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070316/5558883ed8b42a5d328b50c3/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Sentence Expansion 2. Appositive Phrases
Example:
1. Brent cautiously took Olivia on a date which consisted of dinner and a movie.
2. Brent was an extremely nervous boy when around girls.
![Page 27: Lesson 3 Sentence Expansion](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070316/5558883ed8b42a5d328b50c3/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Sentence Expansion 2. Appositive Phrases
‘Appositive’ simply means being ‘positioned’ next to something, generally a noun. Therefore, the
most common and expected sentence position for the appositive phrase is immediately after the noun
it expands.
Brent, an extremely nervous boy when around girls, took Olivia on a date which consisted of
dinner and a movie.
![Page 28: Lesson 3 Sentence Expansion](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070316/5558883ed8b42a5d328b50c3/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Sentence Expansion 2. Appositive Phrases
However, we can also place them at the beginning or the end of a sentence.
These are fairly unusual sentence patterns (especially the latter) and are considered fairly
dramatic, so they will usually come as a surprise to the reader and will send the message that the writer
has taken pains in crafting the sentence.
![Page 29: Lesson 3 Sentence Expansion](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070316/5558883ed8b42a5d328b50c3/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Sentence Expansion 2. Appositive Phrases
An extremely nervous boy when around girls, Brent cautiously took Olivia on a date which
consisted of dinner and a movie.
At the beginning of the sentence the appositive phrase will tend to put more stress on the subject.
![Page 30: Lesson 3 Sentence Expansion](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070316/5558883ed8b42a5d328b50c3/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Sentence Expansion 2. Appositive Phrases
Brent cautiously took Olivia on a date which consisted of dinner and a movie, an extremely
nervous boy when around girls.
At the end of the sentence the appositive phrase will be the focus of the sentence.
![Page 31: Lesson 3 Sentence Expansion](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070316/5558883ed8b42a5d328b50c3/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Sentence Expansion 2. Appositive Phrases
Introductory Appositive Series Upset stomach, sweaty palms, dizziness—all these
symptoms caused Brent to act very strangely.
The subject of the sentence is all these symptoms; the list of appositives names the symptoms.
![Page 32: Lesson 3 Sentence Expansion](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070316/5558883ed8b42a5d328b50c3/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Sentence Expansion 3. Adverbial Clauses
Adverbial clauses (subordinating) are clauses that modify verbs using a subordinator.
Examples of subordinating words:
if, since, while, although, even though, after, before as if, as long as, as soon as
![Page 33: Lesson 3 Sentence Expansion](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070316/5558883ed8b42a5d328b50c3/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Sentence Expansion 3. Adverbial Clauses
Example:When Olivia allowed me to, I wanted to kiss
her.
![Page 34: Lesson 3 Sentence Expansion](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070316/5558883ed8b42a5d328b50c3/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Sentence Expansion 3. Adverbial Clauses
Two frequent problems with adverbial clauses:
1. The wrong idea gets subordinated2. The meaning of the subordinator is imprecise
![Page 35: Lesson 3 Sentence Expansion](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070316/5558883ed8b42a5d328b50c3/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Sentence Expansion 3. Adverbial Clauses
1. The wrong idea gets subordinated
Example:1. When Olivia allowed me to, I wanted to kiss her.
2. Olivia allowed me to when I wanted to kiss her.
![Page 36: Lesson 3 Sentence Expansion](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070316/5558883ed8b42a5d328b50c3/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Sentence Expansion 3. Adverbial Clauses
2. The meaning of the subordinator is imprecise
Example:1. When Olivia allowed me to, I wanted to kiss
her.
2. If Olivia allowed me to, I wanted to kiss her.
![Page 37: Lesson 3 Sentence Expansion](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070316/5558883ed8b42a5d328b50c3/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Sentence Expansion 3. Adverbial Clauses
Adverbial clauses can be placed in the beginning, middle, or end of a sentence.
![Page 38: Lesson 3 Sentence Expansion](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070316/5558883ed8b42a5d328b50c3/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Sentence Expansion 3. Adverbial Clauses
At the beginning of a sentence, adverbial clauses can function as a cohesive link
between known and unknown information.
When Olivia allowed me to, I wanted to kiss her.
I wanted to kiss Olivia when she allowed me to.
Notice the change in focus when we change the position.
![Page 39: Lesson 3 Sentence Expansion](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070316/5558883ed8b42a5d328b50c3/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Sentence Expansion 3. Adverbial Clauses
Placing an adverbial clause in the middle of a sentence will interrupt the flow of the sentence and slow the reader down.
They add stress and length to the words they modify and changes the rhythm.
I wanted, when Olivia allowed me, to kiss her.
