Slide 11 - Tekstslide

What you need is sentence structure
It is a way of categorizing sentences by identifying the absence or presence of

  • clauses (independent and dependent)
  • conjunctions
  • subordinators ( ex: using coordinating conjunctions, punctuations and/or subordinating conjuctions).

Slide 12 - Tekstslide

What is a clause?
A clause is a group of words that functions as one part of speech and that includes a subject (onderwerp) and verb(werkwoord).

  1. Independent clause; A sentence that contains a subject and a verb - It can stand alone
Example: He will succeed. 
2. Dependent clause; Contains a subject and a verb, but it cannot stand alone. 
Example: If you work hard
3. Subordinating conjunctions; Conjunctions are used to link dependent clauses to independent clauses. 
Example: If you work hard, you will succeed. 

Slide 13 - Tekstslide

Types of sentence structure
From this perspective, the English sentence has four major building blocks:
 

1. Simple Sentence Structure:  
one independent clause.
2. Compound Sentence Structure: 
two independent clauses  connected by a coordinating conjunction (aka FANBOYS).
3. Complex Sentence Structure: 
one independent clause and one or more dependent clauses.
4. Compound-Complex Sentence Structure:
  two independent clauses and one or more dependent clauses.

Articles
What are articles?
Articles are words that define a noun as specific or unspecific. 

  • The indefinite article takes two forms. It’s the word a when it precedes a word that begins with a consonant (medeklinker). It’s the word an when it precedes a word that begins with a vowel (klinker).


  • The definite article is the word the. It limits the meaning of a noun to one particular thing.
