    What was a complex sentence? Sorry I forgot. :):(

  5. Mrs. BuxtonOctober 4, 2011 at 4:57 PM

    One is a sentence - one isn't - how do you know the difference?

  6. Maddy ZOctober 4, 2011 at 5:18 PM

    Han, we didn't do book clubs today.
    A depended clause is when the clause cannot stand alone like this:
    Although I have a party tonight
    That is dependent because you are expecting more to come so it can't stand alone as a sentence.
    To make it a sentence you could do this:
    Although I have a party tonight, my final baseball game of the season is at the same time so I won't be going.
    That is also a complex sentence!!!

    ReplyDelete
  7. Maddy ZOctober 4, 2011 at 5:21 PM

    A independent clase is when it CAN stand alone. For example:
    My sister's favorite food is pepperoni pizza.
    That is also a simple sentence.

    Also, does anyone in my bookclub know what my job is? I know we have to predict, but what is my other job? If anyone knows, please tell me! We did a lot of switching, and now I'm all confused.

    I am leader, so you might be around character focus, Maddy. Not completely sure. My grandma has my notebook.

    Camille- got the pen!

    Sabine- I will be done with my paragraph at about 7:00. Come on around 6:30 if you can. We can communicate with either wallwisher or comments on the nota. P.S. You print 2 copies and I will print 2 copies of the finished nota.

    ReplyDelete
  12. Mrs. BuxtonOctober 4, 2011 at 6:35 PM

    Maddy - You example is not correct. You've created what is known as a compound-complex sentence. (3 clauses) when you used the 'so' - you created a third clause that could stand alone.

    We will study these types of sentences later inthe year- but you should avoid them for the time being.

    Mr. Buxton, I have a big nota problem! Emma has tried for the third time to send me the link to our nota, but the email isn't coming to me. I don't know what to do! Tomorrow before eight o'clock can we work on it? We just need a few finishing touches. If one whole was the finished nota, we would probably be at 0.95 of the way done.

    A clause is another word for a sentence.
    Dependent is a sentence that cannot stand alone.
    Independent is something that can, join them together, and you get complex. If the IC is first you don't need a comma, if you switch it around, it does not need a comma.
