Introduction This book of writing will talk about the rules of grammar. These rules of grammar are very important, especially when writing. I wrote this book to the best of my abilities, but I know that I may have made errors. I encourage you to search up any of these rules if you have any questions. With this said, I hope you find some use in this book. Sincerely, Dylan Munoz
About the Author Hi, I am Dylan. I like to read, especially fantasy books. My favorite series is A Song of Ice and Fire. I also like taking walks around the park, listening to music, and playing games with my friends since I can hang out with them in person. I decided to write this book about cats because I have had 2 cats that were very precious to me. I wish they could still be with me today, but I will always remember them. I hope you enjoy the many sentences and examples I made about cats. Hopefully, it doesn’t annoy you too much.

PHRASES and CLAUSES Phrases – groups of words that function as a part of speech. Noun Phrase: A group of words consisting of nouns or pronouns and their modifiers that function as a noun. Most of the kittens wanted treats after playing with their friends. Verb Phrase: A group of words consisting of verbs working together and that function as a verb. The kittens knew that they would be going outside later on in the day. Prepositional Phrase: A group of words that begins with a preposition and ends with a noun, and functions as an adjective or an adverb. The kittens were taken to the top of the playground.
Appositive Phrase: A group of words that include all the words that modify an appositive and function as an adjective - IT MUST BE SURROUNDED BY COMMAS. The cat, the kitten’s mom, rested on the porch under the sunlight. Verbal Phrases: A group of words that begin with a verbal and ends with a noun. ● Gerund Phrase verb ending in -ing that functions as a noun. Sliding down the slide, the kittens finished playing on the playground. ● Participial Phrase word ending in -ing (present participle) or -ed (past participle) that functions as an adjective. The cat played with its toys in the darkened room. ● Infinitive Phrase verb preceded by the word “to” (to read, to study, to write) that function as nouns, adjectives, or adverbs. The kittens remembered that it was time to eat breakfast. CLAUSES Clauses – groups of words with BOTH a subject and a verb that function as parts of speech. There are TWO kinds: Independent and Dependent (called “Subordinate”) INDEPENDENT – CAN stand alone as a complete sentence, known as a simple sentence pattern. The kittens play and sleep all day. DEPENDENT (SUBORDINATE) – CANNOT stand alone as a complete sentence and MUST begin with a SUBORDINATE CONJUNCTION. There are seven (7) kinds: Noun Clause: Used as the noun in a sentence and may function as a subject, a predicate noun, a direct object, an object of a preposition, an indirect object, or an appositive. ○ The way the cat was treated determined her relationships with humans. Adjective Clause: Used to modify a noun in an independent clause. Some adjective clauses begin with an introductory word: ○ The white house is where the kittens grew up to healthy cats. Some adjective clauses begin with relative pronouns: ■ The cat is the type of cat who usually walks off a little fall. Adverb Clause: Used to modify verbs, adjectives, and adverbs in an independent clause, introduced by a subordinate conjunction and used to indicate time, place, cause, purpose, result, condition, and/or concession. Modifying verbs:
■ When the sun finished setting, the cats went to sleep. Modifying adjectives: ■ When daylight saving went into effect, the kittens noticed that the nights seem longer than the days. Modifying adverbs: ■ The orange kitten was friendlier to humans than to her siblings. Relative Clauses: Dependent clause that begins with a relative pronoun. ○ The kitten who behaved the best received a treat at the end of the day. Elliptical Clauses: Adverb clauses in which part of the clause is omitted. ○ When feeding the kittens, the caretaker carefully measured the amount of food they got. Essential Clauses: Clauses necessary to the meaning of the sentence. ○ The kitten’s favorite toy was obviously the blue ball of yarn, Nonessential Clauses: Clauses that are NOT necessary to the meaning of the sentence. ○ The kittens, who were born 5 months ago, were very playful with each other.
SENTENCES Sentence – a set of words that contains a subject and a predicate and conveys a statement, command, question, or an exclamation.
Sentence Parts Subject – what/who the sentence is about The little kittens were playing in the garden. Predicate – what the subject does The little kittens were playing in the garden.
Sentence Types Declarative – a sentence that makes a statement (ends with a period mark) The kittens learned to use a scratching post. Imperative – a sentence that makes a command (ends with a period mark)
Put the kittens inside right now. Interrogative – a sentence that asks a question (ends with a question mark) Why are the cats not asleep yet? Exclamatory – a sentence that expresses great emotion, passion, excitement (ends with an exclamation mark) That cat was so cute!
Sentence Patterns Simple Sentence: A sentence that is just one independent clause. Some cats like to play during the night. Compound Sentence: A sentence with multiple independent clauses, but no dependent clauses - connected by FANBOYS (coordinating conjunctions) or a semicolon (;). All the kittens are very energetic, but sometimes the kittens are relaxed. Complex Sentence: A sentence with one independent clause and at least one dependent clause. When there is a schedule, the kittens will always stick to it. Complex-Compound Sentence: A sentence with multiple independent clauses and at least one dependent clause. Even if there is not a schedule, the kittens will make a schedule themselves, and the kittens will most likely stick to that schedule till a new one is introduced. Loose Sentence: A sentence that contains an independent clause plus a subordinate construction (either a clause or phrase) with your main point at the beginning. The kittens are going to grow up fast, even if they seem like they are going to be kittens for a long time, Periodic Sentence: A sentence in which the independent clause is given at the end of the sentence in order to create interest or generate suspense with the main point coming at the end. No matter how small the kittens are, the kittens are going to grow up fast.
Parallel Structure: A sentence using the same pattern of two or more verbs or ideas that match in tense or structure to show that they are of equal importance and to help the reader comprehend what is being written - this sentence requires symmetry. The kittens almost always sleep, play during the day and night, and scratch their scratching post. Balanced Sentence: A sentence where phrases or clauses at the beginning and the end parallel each other by virtue of their likeness of structure, meaning, or length - this sentence requires symmetry. The kittens always tear up old toys and move on to new toys. Chiasmus: A sentence that includes a repetition of ideas (words, phrases, or clauses) in inverted (reversed) order - this sentence requires symmetry. The kittens make the atmosphere very joyful and the joyful mood would somewhat drop without them. Asyndeton: A sentence that leaves out conjunctions between words, phrases, or clauses for a rhetorical purpose. The kittens almost always show that they are playful, relaxed, sleepy. Polysyndeton: A sentence that uses multiple conjunctions in close proximity to each other between words, phrases, or clauses for a rhetorical purpose. The kittens are almost always playful and sleepy, and relaxed. Anaphora: A sentence that features the purposeful repetition of a word, words, or a phrase at the beginning of several successive clauses in order to place emphasis and draw attention. For most cat owners, their kittens can be very friendly, but for other cat owners, their kittens can be a little mean, but most, if not all cat owners agree that they love their cat dearly. Epistrophe: A sentence featuring several phrases or clauses ending with the same word or words. The kittens almost always spend their days playing, their afternoons eating, their nights sleeping, and it sometimes seems that is all they do.
Sentence Errors Run-On/Rambling/Fused Sentence – a sentence construction error where two or more independent clauses are connected incorrectly without punctuation.
The cats wanted to go outside they had a lot of energy there was perfect weather conditions. [WRONG] The cats wanted to go outside because they had a lot of energy, and there was perfect weather conditions. [RIGHT] Comma Splice – a sentence construction error where two or more independent clauses are connected incorrectly using commas The cats wanted to go outside, they had a lot of energy, there was perfect weather conditions. [WRONG] The cats wanted to go outside. They had a lot of energy; there was perfect weather conditions.[RIGHT]
Fragment – incomplete sentence pieces that are not connected to or do not form an independent clause Because of the weather. [WRONG] Because of the weather, the cats went outside. [RIGHT] Misplaced/Dangling Modifiers – modifiers are words, phrases, or clauses that add description; a misplaced modifier describes the wrong part of a sentence and a dangling modifier is missing the part it’s supposed to modify The toy was given to the cat that was blue.[WRONG] The toy that was blue was given to the cat.[RIGHT] Double Negative – combining two or more negative words in a sentence in a way that is supposed to produce a positive force The cats knew that if they didn’t go outside earlier, they wouldn’t be able to go later.[WRONG] The cats knew that if they did not go outside earlier, they would not be able to go later. [RIGHT]
PARAGRAPHS Paragraphs – a group of sentences that together convey a shared purpose structured around the same topic. Introductory Paragraphs (Introductions) Hook (Lead) – can begin with the title Anecdotal (Brief story to set the mood and lead the reader into the topic)
For as long as the subject has existed, there has been a furious debate of which is better, cats or dogs. People who argue for cats say that cats are more independent and can take care of themselves for the most part. On the other hand, people who argue that dogs are better than cats say that dogs are more energetic, friendly, and more loving than cats. Hence today’s topic, are cats better than dogs? Query Based (Question that brings the reader to the topic - avoid second person POV “you” Are cats really better than dogs? Thesis Statements (the purpose of a piece of writing – usually one sentence in length, but can be longer depending on the purpose – must be something that is arguable) Theory (a statement that can be tested and potentially proven - often answers a research question) Cats are better than dogs because of the potential benefits that come with owning a cat. Clarification/Expansion of Thesis (could extend the thesis, preview the evidence supporting the thesis, give the purpose of thesis, establish the importance or significance of examining the intricacies of the thesis – this could be several sentences long) Mike Weber, the author of The Joys of Owning a Cat, explores the potential benefits of owning a cat in order to help prove that cats may be better than dogs.
Body Paragraphs (must have echoes of the thesis in each AND present evidence to support or expand on the thesis) Topic Sentences (must specifically indicate the topic of the paragraph and focus on one subject and/or area of evidence or support – could start with a “Transition of Logic” that connects to the previous paragraph to give context) - Firstly, cats make great pets, and they come with many benefits for the owner. Presenting Evidence from Quotations (quotes should NEVER be used as individual sentences – quotes should be embedded within sentences) ORIGINAL QUOTE – “... cat’s most alluring quality is that they are lower maintenance and cost less than dogs…” (Weber, 2020) - Cats are perhaps better than dogs because they don’t require that much attention and maintenance, and Weber agrees with this when he stated, “... cat’s most alluring quality is that they are lower maintenance and cost less than dogs…” (Weber, 2020). Examining the Evidence
Paraphrasing (rewording of a quote into other words of the same length without quotation marks, but still citing the source - useful for examining the quote and transitioning to your analysis of the quote) ORIGINAL QUOTE – “ Cats tend to meow when they’re hungry, but you rarely have to worry about being woken up or distracted from a task by a cat begging for attention.” (Weber,2020).” PARAPHRASE – Cats tend to be quieter because they only make noise when they are hungry, and they rarely bother or distract you when they are looking for attention (Weber, 2020). Abstract Examples (hypothetical, “what if” examples that do not refer to a source – AVOID USING THEM AS EVIDENCE – but useful for examining the quote) - People might experience potential positive health benefits if they own a cat. Concrete Examples (actual examples that do refer to a source – useful for enhancing your analysis of the quote) - According to Adnan Qureshi, a medical doctor, owning a cat can help decrease a person’s stress levels, which can help lower the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Closing Sentences (must end the discussion of the topic within the paragraph with a transitional or culminating word – possibly an adverb – and should echo the thesis of the essay) - With the benefits of being independent and quiet and potential health benefits to the owner, cats may potentially be better than dogs.
Closing Paragraphs (Conclusions – should not be mere summaries of the previous paragraphs of your essay) Consequences of Disregarding the Thesis (establishing the potential consequences of disregarding the implications of the thesis – CREATING A COUNTERARGUMENT – could be one or more sentences) - If cats are not the best pet compared to dogs, there would not be many positives and potential health benefits that come with owning a cat. Statement(s) of Extension (extending the consequences of disregarding the implications of the thesis – could be one or more sentences).
-
Such benefits that come with owning a cat show that cats can be the better pet when it comes to comparing them with their pet counterparts, dogs. Reestablishing the Significance of the Thesis (could be one or more sentences) - This evidence from medical research and the evidence from Weber has shown that cats come with many upsides and that they can be the better pet, and they bring more than just happiness, they bring potentially quality of life benefits. Final Sentence (connects to the hook and finishes the essay (finish your argument) – the “Smoky the Bear”/”Drop the mic”/dot dot dot moment…) - With these positives shown about owning a cat, it is ultimately the person’s decision on what pet to choose…

Make sure to focus on what the prompt wants answered or what the prompt wants you to focus on. - Outline each of your 5 paragraphs of your essay. - Make sure that all your paragraphs include what they all need. For example, an introduction needs a hook, background info, and a thesis statement. - Make sure that your essay has a flow of logic, and that your essay is easy to comprehend. Work Cited Page – Explain and give an example of how to set up a works cited entry in both MLA and APA formats - there are subtle differences between each format, so be sure to identify them clearly. MLA Format - To correctly cite your sources in MLA format, make sure that you double space all citations, indent the second and all following lines after that, and if needed, list the number of pages. Also when naming the author, the author’s last name goes first, and then the first name, and if included, the middle name comes after the first name. Finally, for in-text citations, the last name of the author goes first, then add the page number of the source. Ex. Weber, M. (n.d.). The Joys of Owning a Cat. Retrieved from https://www.helpguide.org/articles/healthy-living/joys-of-owning-a-cat.htm
APA Format - To correctly cite sources in APA format, make sure to indent the first lines of each source by half an inch. All author names should be inverted, the reference list should be put in alphabetical order by the last name of the author. If the sources have the same author, list the sources in chronological order, and for in-text citations, make sure to put the author’s last name first, followed by the year in which the source was published.
