The Abstract Noun
Recognize an abstract noun when you see one.
Nouns name people, places, and things. One class of nouns is
abstract. Your five senses cannot detect this group of nouns.
You cannot see them, hear them, smell them, taste them, or feel
them.
Don't confuse an abstract noun with a concrete noun.
Many nouns are concrete, not abstract. Concrete nouns register on
your five senses. Here is an example:
Joseph cuddled the wet puppy under his warm jacket.
Puppy is an example of a concrete noun. You can see a puppy, stroke
its fur, smell its breath, and listen to it whine. You can even taste the
puppy if you don't mind pulling dog hair off your tongue! Because a
puppy will register on all five senses, puppy is a concrete noun.
Look over this chart to contrast abstract and concrete nouns.

Simple, Compound,
Sentences in Your Writing
Once a writer knows the
difference between the three
sentence types (simple, compound,
and complex), it is possible to write
with sentence variety. Sentence
variety helps make your writing more
interesting.
Simple Sentence
• A simple sentence contains a subject
and verb.
• It expresses a single complete
thought.
• A simple sentence is a single
independent clause.
Sample Simple Sentences
• The cat crept through the dark house.
• The wary mouse watched from
underneath an upturned cereal box.
• The predatory cat stopped and surveyed
his surroundings.
• The mouse darted for the safety of the
nearly invisible hole under the cabinet.
Compound Sentences
• A compound sentence contains two
independent clauses.
• Conjunctions (for, and, nor, but, or, and yet,
so) join these independent clauses. (Hint: The
conjunctions spell FANBOYS.)
• The conjunction used can impact the meaning
of the sentence.
Sample Compound Sentences
• The cat was unsuccessful in his attempt to
catch the mouse, and the mouse was
equally as unlucky in his attempt to get
the cheese.
• The dog had watched all of this, but he
had refused to become involved.
• The mouse could wait until dark, or he
could risk a daylight raid on the pantry.
• The cat usually slept during the day, yet
curiosity held him at the corner of the
kitchen.
Complex Sentences
• A complex sentence is an independent
clause joined by one or more dependent
clauses.
• A subordinating conjunction begins the
dependent clauses.
• A dependent clause that begins a sentence
must be followed by comma.
• A dependent clause has a subject and a
verb, but it does not make sense on its
own.
Subordinating Conjunctions
After how Until
Although if Unless
As in as much as if
in order that When as long as
At least Whenever as much as
now that whereas soon
wherever as though Since
While because so that
Before even if That
even though though
Sample Complex Sentences
• After he gave it some thought, the mouse
decided to wait until later for his trek.
• The cat fell asleep on the warm kitchen
because he was deprived of sleep the night
before.
• When the mouse heard the soft snoring of
his sleeping nemesis, he scurried to the
pantry and grabbed enough food for a
week.
• The dedicated, feline sleuth keeps his
nightly vigil even though the foresighted
mouse will not be venturing out this week.
Compound-Complex Sentences
• A compound-complex sentence is a
sentence that has at least two independent
clauses and at least one dependent clause.
• The same subordinating conjunctions are
used to introduce the dependent clauses.
• The same coordinating conjunctions
(FANBOYS) are used for joining the
independent clauses.
Sample Compound-Complex Sentences.
• After the two adversaries had spent years playing
this “cat and mouse” game, they were joined by
their children, and the fun continued.
• Even though it seems the two were bent on the
other’s destruction, the cat and mouse were
rather fond of one another, and neither wanted
the other’s defeat.
• This game was begun thousands of years ago, and
it will continue far into the future as other cats
and mice revel in hide-and-seek.

Complex, or Compound-Complex?

Subject-Verb Agreement
University Learning Center
PC 247 / AC I 160
Developed by Chris Losa
Keep Your Eyes Open
• Although often overlooked, problems with
• Subject-Verb Agreement are REAL!
• To help avoid these errors, we will discuss:
How to make Subjects and Verbs agree in number,
What to do with tricky subjects like Each and Every,
What to do with compound subjects
• Learn to spot and correct these errors and become
a believer.
Recognizing Subjects and Verbs
• A complete sentence must have a SUBJECT
• and a VERB.
• The subject is the who or what that performs the
action.
• The verb is the action word.
Spot the Subject and Verb
• The players on our side are strong.
• The players on our side are strong.
• Players is the subject and are is the verb.
• Once you’ve identified the Subject and the Verb,
you have to make sure they agree in Number.
• Singular subjects require singular verbs and plural
subjects require plural verbs.
Therefore . . .
• The carS run, but the car runS.
• The plural noun cars takes the plural verb run.
There is only one S in the pair.
• The singular noun car takes the singular verb
runs. Again, There is only one S in the pair.
BEWARE
• The student and the instructor work long
hours.
• The subject consists of two people.
Therefore, it is plural.
BEWARE
• BE CAREFUL!
• When subjects are joined by and and combine
to form a single thing or person, they are
treated like a singular subject.
• Use a singular verb with such compound
subjects.

Sample Compound Sentences • The cat was unsuccessful in his attempt to catch the mouse, and the mouse was equally as unlucky in his attempt to get the cheese. • The dog had watched all of this, but he had refused to become involved. • The mouse could wait until dark, or he could risk a daylight raid on the pantry. • The cat usually slept during the day, yet curiosity held him at the corner of the kitchen.
  • 66. Complex Sentences • A complex sentence is an independent clause joined by one or more dependent clauses. • A subordinating conjunction begins the dependent clauses. • A dependent clause that begins a sentence must be followed by comma. • A dependent clause has a subject and a verb, but it does not make sense on its own.

  • 69. Compound-Complex Sentences • A compound-complex sentence is a sentence that has at least two independent clauses and at least one dependent clause. • The same subordinating conjunctions are used to introduce the dependent clauses. • The same coordinating conjunctions (FANBOYS) are used for joining the independent clauses.
  • 70. Sample Compound-Complex Sentences. • After the two adversaries had spent years playing this “cat and mouse” game, they were joined by their children, and the fun continued. • Even though it seems the two were bent on the other’s destruction, the cat and mouse were rather fond of one another, and neither wanted the other’s defeat. • This game was begun thousands of years ago, and it will continue far into the future as other cats and mice revel in hide-and-seek.
