Study Notes
Sentence Structure and Types
- A sentence fragment lacks a complete thought; e.g., "Underneath the apple tree" is a fragment.
- Sentences can be categorized as statements, questions, commands, or exclamations based on their purpose.
- Example of a command: "Go over to the window to see them."
Punctuation Rules
- A question requires a question mark (?): "Did it see us?"
- Exclamations conclude with an exclamation point (!): "This year’s fair will be the best ever!"
- Direct address requires proper punctuation: "Thanks for the book, Ali."
Interjections
- An interjection expresses emotion and stands alone; e.g., "Wow!" is the interjection in "Wow! You won the race!"
Punctuation Placement
- Commas are used in direct address: "Hey, don’t touch that."
- A question mark is needed as punctuation for direct questions: "Where are you going, Amir?"
Identifying Sentence Types
- A statement declares or describes: "I had them in my backpack."
- Example of an exclamation: "Carrots are my favorite vegetable!"
- Commands instruct or request action: "Help me look for them."
Correcting Sentences
- Rewriting a punctuated question to a statement does not use a question mark: "I asked my sister to wait for me."
- Proper punctuation is essential to provide clarity and intent in sentences.
Summary of Sentence Functions
- Statement: Provides information (e.g., "My heart is pounding like crazy.")
- Question: Asks for information (e.g., "What were they looking at?")
- Command: Directs someone to do something (e.g., "Help me look for them.")
- Exclamation: Expresses strong emotion (e.g., "This is the best day ever!")
