8. (Honors Only) Two Types of Dependent Clauses: Adjective Clauses and Adverb Clauses

9. Adjective Clause-- Is a dependent (subordinate) clause that is used to modify a noun or a pronoun. Begin with signal words or RELATIVE PRONOUNS: who, whom, which, that, or whose

10. Adjective Clauses Answer the questions “Which one?” and “What kind?” Ex: Ken’s address book, which is small and black, is lost. Cathy likes hamburgers that are cooked on a charcoal grill.

11. Adverb Clause Is a dependent (subordinate) clause that modifies a verb. Signal words introducing adverb clauses are called subordinating conjunctions--(See page 438 in text for examples of subordinating conjunctions.)

12. Adverb Clauses Answer the questions “how?”, “when?”, “where?”, and “under what condition?” Ex: 1. She walked as though she had hurt her leg. 2. When the bell rings, we will go into the class. 3. We will meet wherever we can.

13. Punctuating CD & CX Sentences In compound sentences, a comma goes before the conjunction: Ex: We arrived on time, but our friends were late. No comma goes between the parts of a compound verb: Ex: Our friends took pictures and danced at the party.

14. In complex sentences, a comma goes after a subordinate clause when the subordinate clause is at the beginning of the sentence: Ex:If you take the bus, you will be on time. You will be on time if you take the bus.

15. Do not begin with “Hi, my name is….. Use correct business letter format Make sure to keep your request short & simple: don’t say “Send me attractions!” Avoid saying “Your state”—be specific Be CLEAR about what you need: historical facts, census statistics, tourism information, resource information, and recent state maps Be CLEAR on what you want: Brochures and Pamphlets End with a NOTE OF APPRECIATION. Make sure to say “I thank” or “I appreciate” Avoid abbreviations, contractions and slang; For example—do not use “Ya’ll”
