제목 [Ted Chung] Additional questions to the writing lecture
Run on sentence 2
작성자 mam*** 등록일 2020-07-10 오후 9:51:04

안녕하세요, 저번 질문에 답변 잘 받았습니다!


근데, 아직도 궁금한 부분이 있어서 이렇게 글 남깁니다.


Previously, I asked you about S + V + conjunction + S or V sentence structure. And you answered it as, I have to put comma before the conjunction. But, in lecture it says I must get rid out them. So, for example, 


Question 2) I work from Wednesday to Sunday; and have Mondays and Tuesdays off. 


so, to grammatically complete this sentence, we have to remove semi colon and connect them. 

Answer -> I work from Wednesday to Sunday and have Mondays and Tuesdays off. 


Therefore, can I interpret this as, the structure S + V + conjunction + S or V is possible? 



And in the textbook, I could know there are three types of conjunctions, coordinating conjunction, subordinating conjunction, and correlative conjunction. Could you please explain this for me as well?



Also, I have some questions about clauses. What would be the solid definition of clause? Do we just call it as clause when words are in the sentence? 

For example,

"and have Mondays and Tuesday off"

and

"but not lemonade" 


are those two counted as clause?

Previously, I asked you about S + V + conjunction + S or V sentence structure. And you answered it as, I have to put comma before the conjunction. But, in lecture it says I must get rid out them. So, for example, 

 

Question 2) I work from Wednesday to Sunday; and have Mondays and Tuesdays off. 

 

so, to grammatically complete this sentence, we have to remove semi colon and connect them. 

Answer -> I work from Wednesday to Sunday and have Mondays and Tuesdays off. 

 

Therefore, can I interpret this as, the structure S + V + conjunction + S or V is possible? 

 

=> If the sentence is a combination of two independent clauses (S+V) than there are three ways to combine them 

 

1. Use semi-colon: I work from Wednesday to Sunday; I have Mondays and Tuesdays off.

 

2. Use comma + conjunction => I work from Wednesday to Sunday, but I have Mondays and Tuesdays off. (in this sentence, the comma before the conjunction "but" is CRUCIAL!!)

 

3. Turn one independent clause into a dependent clause using subordinate conjunctions (ex. while, although, if...)

=> While I work from Wednesday to Sunday, I have Mondays and Tuesdays off. (in this sentence, you need a comma after the first clause) 

 

 

The following sentence is not a combination of two independent clauses. Therefore, there is no need for a comma before the conjunction "but"

 

=> I work from Wednesday to Sunday but have Mondays and Tuesdays off. 

 

So, sentence structure "S + V conjunction V" is possible. 

 

I don't think a sentence structure like "S + V conjunction S" exists....
