After our vocabulary additions, we began syntax week by reviewing the 4 basic types of sentences (declarative, imperative, interrogative, exclamatory) and our newest addition, telegraphic sentences.
While those former sentence identifications add to your rhetorical analysis, there are 6 types that we will focus upon during our syntax week. Those six are simple, compound, complex, compound-complex, cumulative, and periodic. As discussed in class, the author would use each sentence type for a particular purpose, which you are to determine during syntax analysis.
To complete our hour, we highlighted types of clauses on your handout in order to visualize the multiple syntax structures and then identified the syntax.
For homework, you are to write 2 creative sentences for each sentence type. These will be used for future syntax identification practices and eventual quizzes.
