2012 AEP 2 & 3 Homework Reminder

Homework: 


A. Study for a quiz on Monday, which will include chapter 10 and the following sentence combining PPTs. Make sure you have drilled the SC  aloud many, many times. The quiz will be easy if you can quickly and spontaneously produce the correct combined sentence, so the best way to study is with the PPTs. For Chapter 10, study the PPT also; read the explanations in the book. 

1. Ch 10 Review the sentence types with the PPT, Oshima Ch. 10 Sentence Types . Skip Practice 10 "
2. SC 1AB (and +, either-or).ppt  http://cl.ly/DJSR
3. SC 1CDE-(neither-nor) & Compnd.ppt (and, or, nor, but, yet)    http://cl.ly/DI9r
4. SC 2C Subordinators http://cl.ly/DGmn (Please alert me to any typos on this PPT; it was prepared by a dear former student.)
5. SC (so, because, since, as) reason-result http://cl.ly/DEe6

B. Go through the vocabulary list handout (Academic Word List - AWL on two pages). Highlight the words you don't know, and look them up. Your handout should be marked up with highlighting and definitions of words you don't know or don't know well enough. If you lost it, here it is: AWL on 2 pages: http://cl.ly/DHyn

"Yet" or "but?"

Source: http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/learningenglish/grammar/learnit/learnitv21.shtml

1. Used as a conjunction, yet is similar in meaning to but, but it has a stronger effect on the reader or listener. Compare: 'The sun was shining and there was no wind, yet it was unusually cold.' 'The sun was shining and there was no wind, but it was unusually cold.' There is perhaps more of a surprise associated with the former statement.Note that you can put and in front of yet when it comes at the beginning of a clause, but of course this is not possible with but, so you can say: 'The cyclists were tired and hungry, all but exhausted, (and) yet they refused to give up in their attempt to finish the race.'

For the English teachers or the more linguistically inclined, here is a whole paper on "but." http://papyr.com/hypertextbooks/grammar/adverbial_but.htm
