This week in writing we have been learning about simple, compound, and complex sentences. A simple sentence is a sentence with one subject and one predicate. For example, Joe ate his sandwich. Joe is the subject, and ate is the predicate. A compound sentence is a sentence that uses coordinating conjunction. For example, Joe likes sandwiches, but he doesn’t like pizza. You can remember the coordinating conjunctions by FANBOYS. For, and, nor, but, or, yet, so. Next comes the complex sentences. These are sentences with a dependent clause followed by a subordinating conjunction and an independent clause. For example, although Joe likes sandwiches, he doesn’t like pizza. Subordinating conjunctions are remembered by AAAWWUBBIS. As, although, after, when, while, until, because, before, if, since. Now onto the essays. We are just about finishing our second essays. These are on the topics that we studied in reading, history. Some of us did, San Francisco Earthquake, Moon Walk, Hurricane Katrina, Battle of Gettysburg, and more. This is all for this week, the first week of April! 😄
