Dear All,
This week, we started complex sentences.
A complex sentence has an independent clause joined by one or more dependent clauses. A complex sentence always has a subordinator such as because, since, after, although, or when or a relative pronoun such as that, who, or which. In the following complex sentences, subjects are in yellow, verbs are in green, and the subordinators and their commas (when required) are in red.
A. When he handed in his homework, he forgot to give the teacher the last page.
B. The teacher returned the homework after she noticed the error.
C. The students are studying because they have a test tomorrow.
D. After they finished studying, Juan and Maria went to the movies.
E. Juan and Maria went to the movies after they finished studying.
When a complex sentence begins with a subordinator such as sentences A and D, a comma is required at the end of the dependent clause. When the independent clause begins the sentence with subordinators in the middle as in sentences B, C, and E, no comma is required. If a comma is placed before the subordinators in sentences B, C, and E, it is wrong.
Note that sentences D and E are the same except sentence D begins with the dependent clause which is followed by a comma, and sentence E begins with the independent clause which contains no comma. The comma after the dependent clause in sentence D is required, and experienced listeners of English will often hear a slight pause there. In sentence E, however, there will be no pause when the independent clause begins the sentence.

YanıtlaSilWhat is the very important skill a person should learn in the world today, different people have differnt opinions. Therefor, communication is the most impotant skill for almost every person..
Firstly, communication is a bridge between people. We all hope we can be become the person who masters every skills and can complete every kind work by ourselves. However the real world tells us that this just is a dream. Consequently, people are interdependant, they can’t say that they does not need other people's help. Communication is the first step of successful cooperation among people. Also we exchange of thoughts and information, and get other people understand our needs and ideas.
Moreover, communication can help us keep friendship and make new friends. Friends need to
communicate to each other, so that they know each other's needs and feelings. If you are a good
communicator, it is very easy for you to keep your friendship and make new friends and be successful. If you do not communicate with your friends, you will not only feel lonely, but also can yet loss your friends.
Thank you Bahtiyar.
