    Study Notes

    Sentence Structures

    • A run-on sentence occurs when two independent clauses are improperly combined without appropriate punctuation. Example: "The telephone connection was very poor I had to redial the number."
    • A complete sentence must have a subject and a predicate and express a complete thought. Example: "The sales manager has not set a time for the meeting."

    Verb and Pronoun Usage

    • "Are" is the correct verb form when referring to a plural subject: "Here ________ the assignments that I have completed."
    • "Him" is the correct pronoun to use in the context of a compound subject: "Mark and ________ went to the workshop."

    Sentence Punctuation

    • The sentence "Carlos studied for his algebra test and his English exam." is correctly punctuated without extra commas.

    Paraphrasing vs. Quoting

    • Paraphrasing involves rewriting a passage in your own words, maintaining the original idea without using the exact wording.

    Essay Organization

    • Spatial order is an effective method for organizing descriptive essays to create a clear depiction of locations or subjects.
    • To refine a general topic in an essay, a writer should narrow the focus for clarity and specificity.

    Essay Outlines

    • A well-developed outline includes the essay's thesis, topic sentences for each body paragraph, and supporting evidence.

    Supporting Evidence in Essays

    • Effective support in an essay should be relevant, specific, and detailed to reinforce the thesis statement and main ideas.

    Narrative Writing

    • Narrative writing does not have to be factual, allowing for creative expression and storytelling.
    • Chronological order is the most common method for organizing narrative essays to follow the sequence of events.

    Classification Writing

    • The purpose of classification writing is to break down broad subjects into smaller, specific parts for better understanding.
    • Each body paragraph in a classification essay should fully explore a subcategory related to the overall topic.

    Formal Writing Conventions

    • Formal writing avoids slang, personal references, and contractions to maintain a professional tone.
    • Addressing the reader directly is generally restricted to process essays.
    • Third-person perspective creates a formal tone by establishing distance between the writer and reader.

    Acceptable Formal Writing Sentences

    • Certain sentences containing personal opinions ("I think" or "According to my research") are not acceptable in formal writing.
    • Statements that maintain an objective tone ("In order to treat people fairly, one must listen to their words.") are considered appropriate.
