The KISS Grammar Workbooks Back to February Menu Statistical Exercise Sentences that Begin with Coordinating Conjunctions ("And," "Or," or "But") Students are, unfortunately, still being taught that invalid prescriptive rule, "Do not begin a sentence with 'But'." (In some cases, they are taught not to begin a sentence with a coordinating conjunction.) If you think this rule is valid, please read " But Don't Begin a Sentence with 'But' ." The objective of this relatively easy assignment is to have students look at texts that they themselves select and then decide whether or not it is appropriate or inappropriate to begin a sentence with a coordinating conjunction. Have each student select a relatively short text (or passage from a text). It could be, for example, the first page of a short story, a poem, a short newspaper article, etc. Have them count the number of sentences in the passage, and the number of sentences that begin with "and," "or," and "but." If you want to push the statistical aspect of the exercise, have the students calculate the percentage of sentences in the passage that begin with "and," with "or," and with "but." Have the students report their findings to the class. You might want to have students who found sentences that begin with a coordinating conjunction present one example to the class. Have them discuss

87. The Gladilatian Language - Grammar The sentence is the basic unit of Gladilatian grammar. If a series of prepositionalsappear with no conjunctions they are to be interpreted as nested http://home.cshore.com/himes/glad/grammar.htm

Dennis Paul Himes Grammar Morphemes and Parts of Speech There are eight types of morphemes in Gladilatian, nouns, adjectives, relatives, conjunctions, prepositions, attributes, states, and suffixes. Of these, all but suffixes are considered parts of speech. A suffix is considered a converter which changes an occurrence of a part of speech into a related occurrence of a possibly different part of speech. A noun, adjective, or relative can stand alone as a word. A conjuction consists of two or more words. Prepositions, attributes, and states are prefixes. Note that there are no verbs, although there is an implicit "to be" in every sentence. Thoughts expressed as verbs in English are treated a number of ways in Gladilatian. For "I build that," Gladilatian says, "I [am] the builder of that." For "It is changing," "It [is] a changing one." For "I see you," "I [am] the user of sight directed at you." Nouns Nouns correspond to English nouns and pronouns. Every Gladilatian sentence has at least two nouns (at least one in informal speech), and a Gladilatian sentence may consist of only nouns. An important noun to know is u , which is used as a general placeholder when the grammar calls for a noun but one is not really needed. If it is translated at all it is usually translated as something like "something".

91. Coherence: Transitions Between Ideas Transitional tags run the gamut from the most simple — the little conjunctionsand, but, nor, for, yet, or, (and sometimes) so — to more complex signals http://webster.commnet.edu/grammar/transitions.htm

Coherence: Transitions Between Ideas The most convincing ideas in the world, expressed in the most beautiful sentences, will move no one unless those ideas are properly connected. Unless readers can move easily from one thought to another, they will surely find something else to read or turn on the television. Providing transitions between ideas is largely a matter of attitude. You must never assume that your readers know what you know. In fact, it's a good idea to assume not only that your readers need all the information that you have and need to know how you arrived at the point you're at, but also that they are not quite as quick as you are. You might be able to leap from one side of the stream to the other; believe that your readers need some stepping stones and be sure to place them in readily accessible and visible spots. There are four basic mechanical considerations in providing transitions between ideas: using transitional expressions, repeating key words and phrases, using pronoun reference, and using parallel form.

See Wasted Words Capitalization. It's customary to capitalize: The first word of a sentence; The first word in a line of poetry; The major words in the title of a work; Proper nouns (names), including most adjectives derived from proper nouns ( Spanish from Spain Freudian from Freud Personal titles when they come before a name (Mr. Smith, Ms. Jones, Dr. X, Captain Beefheart, Reverend Gary Davis, Grand Vizier Lynch); All (or most) letters in an abbreviation (NASA, MRI). It's sometimes tricky to figure out what counts as a proper noun: it's customary to capitalize Renaissance and Romantic when they refer to historical periods, but not when they mean any old rebirth or something related to romance. (Even more confusing, Middle Ages is usually capitalized, but medieval isn't, even though they refer to the same thing, and one is just a Latin translation of the other. Go figure.) It's common to capitalize President when referring to one President of the United States, but you'd refer to all the presidents (no cap) of the U.S., and the presidents of corporations don't warrant caps unless you're using president as a title. Go figure.
