- [Voiceover] Hello, grammarians. Hello, Rosie. - [Voiceover] Hi, Paige. - [Voiceover] So in thisvideo we're gonna talk about compound-complex sentences. - [Voiceover] So we justcovered complex sentences in the last video whichis where you've got a simple sentence orone independent clause and then that's accompanied by at least one dependent clause. Download free apk android. So, the compound-complex sentenceis a little bit different. In this one you have a compound sentence which is more than one independent clause, and also at least one dependent clause. - [Voiceover] Okay, soit's like there's compound and there's complex and this is a combination of both of them. - [Voiceover] That's right. - [Voiceover] Right, okay,so, compound-complex takes the more than one independent clause from a compound sentenceand the dependent clause or more than one from a complex sentence and puts them togetherso you have at least two independent clauses andat least one dependent clause. I say at least 'cause youcould have more than one or more than two of either of those. But, it has to be at least that. - [Voiceover] Right. - [Voiceover] So, Rosie, just to make sure this all makes sense,can we get an example of a compound-complex sentence? - [Voiceover] After the storm passed, I went outside and I picked flowers. - [Voiceover] That's lovely. - [Voiceover] Isn't that nice? - [Voiceover] Okay, so I wentoutside and I picked flowers are both independent clauses. Ignoring after the storm passed, if we just had I wentoutside and I picked flowers, that's a compound sentence,that's two independent clauses. So then we add after the storm passed which is a dependent clause and that makes it compound-complex. We have at least two independent clauses and at least one dependent clause. So in this case exactlytwo and exactly one. Rosie, can you tell meabout your friend Alberto in a compound-complex sentence, please. - [Voiceover] Sure. My friend Alberto, well, you'll see. Though he has a crippling walnut allergy, Alberto bravely walkedthrough the walnut grove, but he made sure to wear long sleeves. - [Voiceover] That's a good call. - [Voiceover] Yeah, he's smart. - [Voiceover] Yeah, smart kid. So, again, if we just say, Alberto bravely walkedthrough the walnut grove, but he made sure to make long sleeves, that's a compound sentence. There's two independent clauses, Alberto bravely walked throughthe walnut grove is one, and then the second one is but he made sure to wear long sleeves. But then, again, we add adependent clause at the beginning, though he has a crippling walnut allergy. That is what makes it compound-complex, it has elements of compound,the two independent clauses and it has an element ofcomplex, the dependent clause, but Rosie, these areboth the minimum number. These sentences both havethe minimum number of each independent and dependent clauses. So, can we see something maybethat has like more clauses? - [Voiceover] Yeah, sure. Well, let's take a look atthis first sentence we have, I think we can add adependent clause to that. Let's give it a try. After the storm passed, I wentoutside and I picked flowers because they were beautiful. - [Voiceover] Okay, I see. Right, so this is a casewhere we see we can have more than one dependentclause if we want to, right. I know I keep saying this,but two independent clauses and one dependent clause are the minimum for a compound-complex sentence. It can have more, and it still qualifies as compound-complex. So that's compound-complex sentences. They are like compound in that they have more thanone independent clause, and they're like complex in that they also have dependent clauses. You can learn anything, Paige out. - [Voiceover] Rosie out.
- [Voiceover] Hello, grammarians. Hello, Paige. - [Paige] Hi, David. - [David] Today we're going to talk about identifying subjects and predicates and in order to do that, weshall begin with a sentence. Paige, would you readme the sentence, please? - [Paige] I bought a crate of goblin hats. - [David] Thank you, Paige. So Paige, do you thinkthat's hats for goblins, or hats that make you look like a goblin? - [Paige] Well, I bought it, so I can say that it is both. - [David] So we could go eitherway is what you're saying. - [Paige] (Laughs) Oh, yeah. - [David] A sentence iskind of a like a car. It's got a lot of differentparts, like an engine, or wheels, or a body, whatever. A sentence is very much the same way and you can divide upa sentence into parts. Today, we're going to bedividing up the sentence into subject and predicate. Paige, what is the subject of a sentence? - [Paige] The subjectis a noun or a pronoun that is doing the action in the sentence or performing the verb. - [David] What does thatmean to perform a verb? - [Paige] Right, so a verbisn't always an action, right? That's why I wanted to clarify. - [David] Mm-hmm. - [Paige] Because youcan say, 'I am happy.' Am is a verb, but that's notan action that I'm doing. - [David] Right, youcan't just actively am. - [Paige] Right. (laughs) - [David] But in thesentence, 'I am happy,' the subject I is performingthe verb to be, or am. - [Paige] Right. - [David] Gotcha. What is a predicate? - [Paige] A predicate is allof the rest of the sentence that isn't the subject. What it really is is the verb and all of the parts thatare related to the verb. Yeah, verb and its pals, that's good. - [David] Let's apply thatapproach to goblin hat sentence. - [Paige] Mm-hmm. - [David] Okay, so I'mlooking for a noun or pronoun that performs a verb in the sentence. Well, I found the verband the verb is bought. Who's doing the buying? I am. - [Paige] Right. - [David] So our subject is I. - [Paige] Yeah. - [David] Then predicate is basically everything else, right? It's bought, what did I buy? A crate of goblin hats. - [Paige] Right. You can see that a crate of goblin hats is also a noun, right? But it's not doinganything in the sentence. I am buying. - [David] Just because there's a noun, just because there's anothernoun in the sentence, like crate or goblin hats,doesn't necessarily mean that it's the subject. - [Paige] Right. - [David] So you have tolook for the thing that is performing the verb. - [Paige] Exactly. - [David] Paige, I thinkthat covers everything except exactly what a goblin hat is,but we can talk about that some other time. - [Paige] Yeah. - [David] That's identifyingsubjects and predicates. You can learn anything. David out. - [Paige] Paige out.

- [Voiceover] HelloGrammarians. Hello Paige. - [Paige] Hi, David. - [Dave] So we havethree different sentence varieties that we'regoing to talk about today. - [Paige] Okay. - [Dave] Here are their three flavors. Flavor number one, declarative sentences. Flavor number two,interrogative sentences. And flavor number three,imperative sentences. Those are all prettylong and wibbly words. - [Paige] Seriously. - [Dave] But we will addresseach one of them in turn. Paige, if you please, whatis a declarative sentence? - [Paige] A declarative sentence is a type of sentence that juststates a fact or an opinion, I suppose, but it just makes a statement. So that would be something like it is a beautiful day. - [Dave] It is a beautiful day, Paige. We can also use declarative sentences to get across any kind of information. This is what we callexposition in writing. - [Paige] Righ. Yeah. - [Dave] So we can sayLavender hated baseball. You know, you could starta short story with that. - [Paige] Right, that's-- [Dave] I challenge you to. - [Paige] Just a fact about Lavender. - [Dave] That's a fact about Lavender. So a declarative sentence is a statement. Just straight up. - [Paige] Yep. - [Dave] An interrogativesentence is a question. So it asks a question. - [Paige] It's just afancy word for a question. - [Dave] Right.- [Paige] Okay. - [Dave] So an example ofan interrogative sentence would be where did you go last night? - [Paige] Right. - [Dave] Or how is hestill singing that note? - [Paige] I have no idea. - [Dave] Incredible breath control So that's what aninterrogative question is. - [Paige] Right. It's like being interrogated. That's, like, a similarword to interrogative, is just having a lot of questions asked. - [Dave] Like really aggressively. - [Paige] Yeah, it's nota very positive thing. - [Dave] Paige, what didyou do with the cheese? - [Paige] I don't know. (laughs) - [Dave] Paige, why are youstill eating the cheese? - [Paige] I'm not. - [Dave] Paige, I knowyou stole the cheese. Finally, the third kind of sentence we want to talk abouttoday is the imperative. An imperative is a command. - [Paige] Right, so when youtell someone to do something. - [Dave] So a command like,Paige, follow that bunny! (laughs) - [Paige] And the bunny stole the cheese. - [Dave] Yeah. So this is one of thosesentences that doesn't have a subject that isliterally spoken out loud. - [Paige] Right, it's just implied. You know, if you're saying that to me, I know that I am the subject. - [Dave] Right. So it'syou follow that bunny. - [Paige] Right. - [Dave] But the you is just not spoken. Or, if you're not intobunny following, you know, something like rememberto wash the dishes, you're still being commanded to remember. - [Paige] Yeah, yeah. - [Dave] So, yeah,that's our, those are our three sentence types. - [Paige] Yeah. Declarative is a statement. Interrogative is a question, and imperative is a command. - [Dave] So, Paige, I thinkwe can recast our slogan in each of these three types of sentence. - [Paige] Okay. - [Dave] So, okay, so declarative, right? That's what it usuallyis, declarative form is you can learn anything. - [Paige] Okay. - [Dave] We can make it aquestion, so interrogative's can you learn anything? - [Paige] Right. - [Dave] The answer is yes.- [Paige] Yes. - [Dave] And the imperative,we wanna make it a command, would be what, Paige? - [Paige] Learn anything! - [Dave] Yeah! So you can do any of those three. - [Paige] Sure. - [Dave] David out. - [Paige] Paige out.
