Crafting Complex Connections
Building Compound and Complex Sentences

Slide 1 - Slide

Learning Objective
At the end of the lesson, you will be able to identify and create simple, compound, and complex sentences using coordination conjunctions.

Slide 2 - Slide

Wat denk jij dat 'simple', 'compound=samen', en 'complex' zinnen zijn?

Slide 3 - Mind map

Understanding Sentence Structures
'Simple' sentences; geven één idee weer

Examples: 
  • She dances gracefully.
  • The sun shines brightly.
  • He reads books.
  • They walk in the park.
  • I love pizza.


Slide 4 - Slide

Understanding Sentence Structures
Compound sentences voegen twee 'gelijke' zinnen samen, de zogenaamde 'independent clauses' dmv 'coordinating conjunctions'.
Examples:
  • I wanted to go to the movies, but she preferred staying home.
  • The dog barked loudly, and the cat ran away.
  • She enjoys swimming, yet she fears deep water.
  • He finished his homework early, so he went to play outside.
  • The rain stopped, but the roads remained wet.

Slide 5 - Slide

Understanding Sentence Structures
'Complex' sentences voegen twee ongelijke zinnen samen, nl. een 'independent clause' + een 'dependent clause' dmv subordinating conjunctions.

Examples:
  • Although it was raining, they decided to go for a walk in the park.
  • Since she had studied hard, she passed the exam with flying colors.
  • After the party ended, they cleaned up the mess in the living room.
  • Because he missed the bus, he arrived late for work.
  • Even though it was late at night, they continued working on their project.

Slide 6 - Slide

Creating Compound Sentences
Use coordination conjunctions like 'for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so' to connect two related independent clauses.
For
And
Nor
But
Or
Yet
So

Slide 7 - Slide

Exploring Coordination Conjunctions
Elke 'coordination conjunction' heeft zijn eigen betekenis: 
'for' geeft een 'reden', 
'and' betekent een 'toevoeging', 
'nor' geeft een ontkenning aan, 
'but' geeft contrast aan, 
'or' geeft alternatieven, 
'yet' geeft een tegenstelling aan
'so' geeft een resultaat.

Slide 8 - Slide

Constructing Complex Sentences
Complex sentences maak je door subordinating conjunction = ondergeschikte voegwoorden te gebruiken, zoals:
although, 
because, 
while, 
if, 
when,
since,
after.

Review and Application
Simple sentences: geven één idee weer
Compound sentences: combineren 2 gelijke zinnen.
Complex sentences: combineren 2 ongelijke zinnen; één ervan kan niet op zichzelf staan.
Coordinating conjunctions = coördinerende voegwoorden
Subordinating conjunctions = ondergeschikte voegwoorden
