General Notes on Chapter 16
OBJECTIVE: This chapter gives students more choices for expressing related ideas.
They will learn how English connects bits of information that are in a relationship of
equality.
APPROACH: Essentially, the chapter deals with the concept of parallelism. Two or
more similar bits of information should be expressed in similar grammatical forms,
according to the preferred style of written English. The chapter introduces the use of
coordinating conjunctions and related rules for punctuation.
TERMINOLOGY: A “conjunction” is a function word that serves as a connector or a
linking word to join words, phrases, or clauses. This chapter deals with coordinating
conjunctions, words that are used to create compound structures (e.g., compound
subjects, compound verbs, compound sentences). In this text, correlative conjunctions
(e.g., both . . . and ) are called “paired conjunctions.” Subordinating conjunctions (e.g.,
when, because, if ) are used to create complex sentences and are dealt with in the following
chapter.
