AGENDA Warm Up Review Homework Review of Coordination/Subordination Idioms (For Sentence Errors and
Improving Sentences) البغل سباق
REVIEW HOMEWORK What questions did you have
COORDINATION/SUBORDINATION Coordination used to express logical connection
between two independent ideas, often the error is with using the wrong coordinator. 1. Ben Franklin was a respected and talented states-
man, and he was most famous for his discovery of electricity.
Subordination is used with dependent clauses, the faults often come up with two or more dependent clauses but no independent clauses. Since the small electronics industry is one of the
world’s fastest growing sectors, because demand for the computer chip continues to grow.
IDIOMS Idioms are expressions or phrases
unique to the English language. They often involve prepositional phrases
rather than American expressions like “kick the bucket”
