1. Place the following in your "Grammar & Vocab Notes" on a new document titled "Sentence Types & Purposes." Then, complete Exercise 49-1 on Bedford page 512 in the Bedford book by identifying the sentence types, clause types, and sentence purposes. You may annotate in your Bedford book.
Independent Clause--a complete sentence that can stand on its own.
Subordinate/dependent Clause--a phrase that depends upon an independent clause for full meaning; can function as an adjective, adverb, or noun phrase.
Sentence Types
Simple--one independent clause
Compound--two independent clauses linked with a coordinating conjunction or semicolon
Complex--an independent clause and dependent clause linked with a subordinating conjunction or colon.
Compound-Complex--at least two independent clauses and one dependent clause
Sentence Purposes
Declarative (.)--make statements.
Imperative (.)--issue a request or command.
Interrogative (?)--ask a question.
Exclamatory (!)--make an exclamation
*Writing tip--vary the types of sentences you use for various effects and emphasis of meaning. Try a simple sentence followed by a complex sentence, or vice versa. Always be clear what the purpose of the sentence is, and experiment with how using subordinate clauses can achieve different effects, as well as how changing the order of clauses can produce different emphasis and impact.
