  • ESL 253 SUPPORT READING

My Father was a picture on the living room wall in my  grandpa's house .

The living room was only used at Christmas and we also had to cross in the dark to get to the bed room .

Occasionally, my grandmother would take me into that special room

experienced writer like to use different types of sentence structure to describe clearly the ideas or points in their paragraphs ,

There
Simple sentences

foundation of the sentences
there have a subject and there has a verb
(Subject and Verb  is the most important)
Compound sentence: A sentence with multiple independent clauses, but no dependent clauses, connected by
FANBOYS ( for , and , nor , but  , because , yet, so )

and/nor,but,or ,yet,so  allowed to make longer
coordinating or conjunction

Complex sentences

When I was little,i remember her lifting me up and pointing at the two men in the photo
main action ( I )

Complex-Compound sentences
My handsome uncle
My kind uncle

One was my uncle whom i knew and could see in the flesh periodically , and the other was my father whom i didn't know.

Note: remember that when writers use sentence connectors such as FANBOYS or adverbial clauses, they make sure that the connectiors ( e.g so ,when , which) make a logical connection between the clauses. For example, when there is a clause and effect relationship, the writer may use because or so., Or if there is a compare /contrast relationship. the writer may use although , yet but , or while .if there is a time relationship , the writer may use when before or after
