    Study Notes

    Short-Form and Long-Form Works

    • Short-form works are enclosed in quotation marks, such as short stories, poems, articles, and songs.
    • Long-form works are italicized and include books, movies, and TV shows.

    Titles Formatting

    • Titles of books should be italicized, capitalizing the first and last words, along with all major words in between, except for FANBOYS, prepositions, and articles.
    • Titles of poems are placed in quotation marks and follow the same capitalization rules for significant words.

    Lists and Commas

    • Use commas to separate three or more items in a series, even before "and."
    • Do not use commas when only two items are mentioned.

    Cue Words and List Introduction

    • Introduce lists with color after phrases like "as follows," "the following," or "these."
    • A colon is used only after a complete thought.

    Understanding Subjects

    • The subject of a sentence performs the action or is in a state of being, working with verbs.
    • Subjects may not always appear at the beginning of the sentence and can include one or more words.

    Pronouns and Action Verbs

    • Pronouns (e.g., "it") can serve as subjects in sentences.
    • Action verbs describe the actions taken by subjects or objects.

    Direct Objects and Prepositions

    • Direct objects answer "who?" or "what?" about a verb and follow it.
    • Prepositions explain the relationship between nouns and other words, adding context about location and time.

    Coordinating Conjunctions (FANBOYS)

    • FANBOYS connect two complete thoughts: For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, So.

    Subordinating Conjunctions (SWABI)

    • SWABI links two complete thoughts: Since, When, After, Because, If.

    Conjunctive Adverbs (THAMO)

    • THAMO indicates the relationship between complete thoughts: Therefore, However, Also, Meanwhile, Otherwise.

    Clauses Classification

    • Independent clauses express complete ideas, while dependent clauses are incomplete thoughts that may attach to independents.
