Compound, complex, compound complex, argumentation paragraph, persuasive essay, and parallelism


A. Compound Sentence
Compound sentence is a sentence that contains at least two independent clauses joined by a comma, 
semicolon or conjunction. There are 7 coordinating conjunctions: and, but, so, or, for, nor, yet.
Example :
-You may underestimate me, but you'll never defeat me.
-That flower is too beautiful, and that flower is too small. (it has two independent clauses, separated by a
comma and the coordinating conjunction, and.)
B. Complex sentence
Complex sentence is a sentence that has one independent clause and at least one dependent clause. An
independent clause (unlike a dependent clause) can stand alone as a sentence. Dependent clauses begin with
a subordinating conjunction, e.g.:  who, when, while, that, because, since, although.
Example :
-My brain never stops thinking until you give me a reason.
-Although I am bored, I want to spend my time with you. (Blue color is subordinate clause, black color is
main clause).
C. Compound-complex sentence
Compound-complex sentence is a sentence that contains at least two independent clauses and at least one
dependent clause
Example :
-This is my world, if you are not interested… never mind I understand
-Because I am an artist, some people expect me to perform perfectly, and other people expect me to  walk
gracefully
D. Parallelism
Parallelism is similarity of structure in a pair or series of related words, phrases, or clauses. The use of
components in a sentence that are grammatically the same; or similar in their construction, sound, meaning or
meter also called parallelism.
Example :
-My uncle likes to climbing and swimming.
-Every woman wants their husband  not only smart but also friendly.

Writing Practice :
Compound sentence (interpreting ideas)
All of women want to have an ideal body. Not only perfect, but also healthy. To have an ideal body, so we
have to try some way to get it. The first is to eat a lot of fruits and vegetables. Don’t too much to eat
chocolate . Chocolate is good for relieving stress, but chocolate can make our body fat. The second is sport.
Jogging every morning and afternoon I think that is enough. And the last is drink a lot of  water. The water  is
a good for health  and the water is safe for our body.

Complex sentence (persuasive essay)
All of parent  can use a cell phone to ask their children about their occupation, or health. At the same time,
most parents can remember the days when cell phones simply did not exist, and children were factually left
on their own for at least half of the day. I stand for not prohibiting cell phones from students’ possession
entirely, since they allow parents to monitor their children’s safety.
The first reason why cell phones should be prohibited from use at schools is that they pose a significant
disruption in the educational process (School Security). Another reason for prohibiting cell phones in classes
is an increased temptation for students to communicate with friends instead of focusing on study material.
Once again, the level of technology allows clever smart phone owners to regularly check their social network
profiles and browse Internet content.
Though cell phones are necessary for high school students in terms of their safety, they should still be
prohibited from use during classes. This concept is founded on several reasons, such as disrupting the
educational process and facilitating students’ cheating distracting students by the possibility to access the
Internet, social media, and so on.

Compound-complex sentence(argumentation paragraphs)
There are several reasons I like to drink coffee in the cafe. First, drink coffee in the cafe made me forget for
a moment my problems. Because drinking coffee, make my Mind calm, and it can make my mind refreshed.
Not only enjoy coffee, I could also do the coursework in the cafe. Because I often drink coffee at my
favorite cafe, I often get a discount and all the waiters are friendly to me.

Clause

-Clause is a group of words that includes a subject and a verb.
-A clause can be distinguished from a phrase, which does not contain a subject and a verb.
Example : in the afternoon, drinking from the bowl, etc.
-An independent clause can express a complete thought ( and can be a stand alone sentence ).
-A dependent clause is usually a supporting part of a sentence, and it cannot stand by itself as a meaningful proposition ( idea ).

-Noun Clause is a clause that functions as a noun. However, for many, that definition is too generic. A multi word noun will often contain another type of clause, usually an adjective clause, which procides the verb required for a clause.

-Adjective Clause
 When we think of an adjective, we usually think about a single word used before a noun to mdify its meanings. However, an adjective can also come in the form of an adjective clause.
Example : tall building, smelly cat, argumentative assistant, etc.

-An adjective clause usually comes after the noun it modifies and is made up of several words which, like all clauses, will include a subject and a verb.

-An adverbial Clauses is a group of words which plays the role of an adverb.
 ( like all clauses, an adverbial clause will contain a subject and a verb.
