Writing Skills Inventory We’re goin’ back to grammar school…

How many of these terms can you define? Independent clause Comma splice Subordinate/Dependent clause Coordinating conjunction Relative clause Subordinating conjunction Phrase Direct object Prepositional phrase Predicate nominative Subjective/Nominative case Predicate adjective Objective Case Essential adjective Possessive case Oxford comma Idiom Fragment Past/Present/Future perfect Parenthetical commas Predicate verb Interrogative sentence Run-on Passive/Active voice How many of these terms can you define? These terms are not tested, but you need to know them in order to understand the tested concepts.

Can you diagram these sentences? Diagramming sentences is stupid. I do not believe that we have to make a diagram for this sentence. Can you diagram these sentences? Again, diagramming is not tested, but it does help in understanding sentence structure.
