 * If this does not seem easy to you, take a few minutes to review page one of TASS before the next class.**

Sentence Patterns 34: (Sentence Pattern 1: SV;SV.) 1. Review pages 7-8 2. How many independent clauses (complete sentences) are required for this pattern? Two independent clauses 3. Look at the 'Examples' on page 8 4. On page 10, complete 'Exercises' # 2 and 3 2) After they lost the match the tennis team went home; they were very depressed about the match. 3) ;it hit the oat and disappeared.
 * identify the subject - verb (SV;SV) combination for each example (S=Gloria V=try; S=they; V=seem to be)

 * Some people(S) dream(V) of being something; others(S) stay(V) awake and are.
 * Reading(S) is(V) the easy part; remembering(S) takes(V) more effort.

Sentence Patterns 35: (Sentence Pattern 1: SV;SV.) 1. Read the "Professional Examples" on pages 8-9. Write the one that you think is most interesting, and explain what you think the author is trying to accomplish by using the SV;SV sentence pattern. "He who knows others is wise; he who knows himself is englightened." --Lao-tzu One clause is the knowledge of other people, but the second clause is the knowledge of oneself. It is a comparison and so, balance each other out. 2. Orwell uses this pattern on page 27, "Nevertheless, without openly admitting it, he was devoted to Boxer; the two of them usually spent their Sundays together in the small paddock beyond the orchard, grazing side by side and never speaking." How are the two independent clauses related? The two clauses are related in a way where the second clause further explains and supports the first clause. 3. Write your own example of this pattern. Feel free to imitate one of the professional examples. How are the two parts of your compound sentence related? I am scarred; a tsunami just hit the coast next to my home.
