Introduction

This book is for educational purposes to teach about grammar. It uses beverages as an example as well for boba, smoothies, tea, soda, ect. It also uses an example of employee workers for they are the one who makes the drinks. This book would not only teach the reader about grammar but also di erent types of drink. This book teaches how to use punctuation and di erent styles of writing sentences. Don’t drink alcohol if you are under the age 21 in the US.

About the Author My name is Diana Ortega and I love to talk about drinks. Knowing di erent types of drinks and how to make them has always been an interest of mine. I’ve always struggled with grammar so creating this book was a challenge for me but using something I really admire made it easier to learn. I’ve never really learned proper grammar throughout my elementary school to middle school because the teachers will also ignore my mistakes. It wasn’t till high school my 9th grade teacher taught me all the errors I have in writing. From there I began to learn more writing with my 9th, 10th, and 11th grade teacher. I really hope this book will not only help me but also others who struggle like me.

Dedication I dedicate this book to my english teachers that I have and had in high school so far.

Having A Drink BOOK OF WRITING SECTION 3 TEMPLATE AND GUIDELINES 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. All the party guests were astonished by the cool tricks that were made by the bartender. Verb Phrase: A group of words consisting of verbs working together and that function as a verb. After a long day at school the young teen knew she would have to be working her shifts at Starbucks. 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 barista made a delightful drink. 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. Carmela, a regular customer, went into the Starbucks to get her mocha. 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. Mixing the drinks, the customers were amused. ● Participial Phrase word ending in -ing (present participle) or -ed (past participle) that functions as an adjective. The late night barista left the filled Starbucks. ● Infinitive Phrase verb preceded by the word “to” (to read, to study, to write) that function as nouns, adjectives, or adverbs. It's friday when many people go to Starbucks.

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 teen got their delicious drink from Boba Time. 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. ○ Where the drink was displayed made everyone in the bar happy. ○ Respectfully gives drink to anyone that pays. ○ The customer was excited and was read by the whole room. ○ The bartender checks for the ingredients that are needed. Adjective Clause: Used to modify a noun in an independent clause. Some adjective clauses begin with an introductory word: ○ Starbucks is where every co ee lover likes to go. ○ The Sunset drink was what everyone needed. ○ The mocha that the customer wanted is patiently waiting. Some adjective clauses begin with relative pronouns: ■ Sunset drink is obviously the one that is easy to make.(ONE is the antecedent of THAT and is modiﬁed by the adjective clause.) ■ There goes that normie customer who always orders the same drink. (NORMIE is the antecedent of whose and is modiﬁed by the adjective clause.) ■ Mojitos is the one drink that has a lot of mint leaves. ■ Is boba that one drink everyone wants to try? (that is the direct object of want)

■ Niomi was the one who asked for the milk tea boba.(who is the direct object of asked.) ■ The strawberry milkshake was for the one wearing pink.(for is the object of the preposition to.) ■ The bloody mary is the one drink who Sarea wants to try. (who is the subject of shrugs.) 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: ■ The group of friends purposely put the boba drinks where it has nice lighting for the picture. (place) ■ It was 7:30 when Tammy clock out for work.(time) ■ Rick and Trisha took a picture of their boba because they wanted to post it so everyone could see. (purpose) ■ The customer talked and showed o her drink as if she made the Blue Hawaii. (condition) Modifying adjectives: ■ Making drinks for the customer made the time go fast by the minute. (how much) ■ The sunset drink is easy to make as putting water into a cup. (to what extent) Modifying adverbs: ■ The bartender muddles the drink softer than her coworker. (condition) Relative Clauses: Dependent clause that begins with a relative pronoun. ○ To the one who drinks 4 shots without getting drunk will be honored with more drinks. Elliptical Clauses: Adverb clauses in which part of the clause is omitted. ○ When drinking, the customer should not drive home instead drink water. Essential Clauses: Clauses necessary to the meaning of the sentence. ○ The drink that people mostly get confused with is Blue Hawaii and blue hawaiian.

Nonessential Clauses: Clauses that are NOT necessary to the meaning of the sentence. ○ The workers in Starbucks, mostly teens, are great and respectful baristas.

Having A Drink BOOK OF WRITING SECTION 4 TEMPLATE AND GUIDELINES

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 people waiting outside of the boba shop patiently waited in line. Predicate – what the subject does The people waiting outside of the boba shop patiently waited in line.

Sentence Types Declarative – a sentence that makes a statement (ends with a period mark) Drinking water has many beneﬁts like to stay hydrated. Imperative – a sentence that makes a command (ends with a period mark) Drink water to stay hydrated. Interrogative – a sentence that asks a question (ends with a question mark) Why do we need to drink water? Exclamatory – a sentence that expresses great emotion, passion, excitement (ends with an exclamation mark) Drinking water is beneﬁcial!

Sentence Patterns Simple Sentence: A sentence that is just one independent clause. Most people who go into a boba shop get their drink with boba.

Compound Sentence: A sentence with multiple independent clauses, but no dependent clauses - connected by FANBOYS (coordinating conjunctions) or a semicolon (;). Making smoothies takes up so much time, but it's healthy to drink. Complex Sentence: A sentence with one independent clause and at least one dependent clause. When making a decision to pick between coke or a smoothie, a smoothie tends to be healthier. Complex-Compound Sentence: A sentence with multiple independent clauses and at least one dependent clause. When choosing a healthy drink between coke or a smoothie to be healthy, smoothie is the healthier choice, but coke is tempting. 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. Orange juice is better than apple juice, no matter what time in day orange juice is the go to drink. 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 what time of day it is orange juice is the to go drink, orange juice is better than apple juice. 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. Bartenders tend to make drinks, listen to customer problems, and have a good time at their job. 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. Bartenders spend their nights starting from liquor and make it into a wonderful drink. 24

Chiasmus: A sentence that includes a repetition of ideas (words, phrases, or clauses) in inverted (reversed) order - this sentence requires symmetry. Bartenders are who make the customer happy and without that happiness from the customer the pub would be empty. Asyndeton: A sentence that leaves out conjunctions between words, phrases, or clauses for a rhetorical purpose. Starbucks baristas are typically teenagers, co ee lovers, the people with a good smile, people who know how to have fun. Polysyndeton: A sentence that uses multiple conjunctions in close proximity to each other between words, phrases, or clauses for a rhetorical purpose. Starbucks baristas typically areteenagers and co ee lovers and have good smiles, and lastly, know how to have fun. 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 people, the sunset drink is the ﬁrst thing they had tried, while for others it's a fun little classic drink, but could agree that they could drink it over and over. Epistrophe: A sentence featuring several phrases or clauses ending with the same word or words. Some people like the boba in their drinks, others don’t like boba in their drink, some just like to drink other drinks.

Sentence Errors

Run-On/Rambling/Fused Sentence – a sentence construction error where two or more independent clauses are connected incorrectly without punctuation.T The boba drinker loves to have all of their drinks with boba; they tend to enjoy other cultures' drinks. [WRONG] The boba drinker loves to have all their drink with boba BECAUSE they tend to love other cultures drinks.

Having A Drink BOOK OF WRITING SECTION 5 TEMPLATE AND GUIDELINES 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) Life is full of disappointment, happiness, and hardship. During the times when people feel down they tend to dwell on their problems. Instead of focusing on happiness they focus on the negative, this could go get passed down to their children teaching them how to deal with their problems. There are ways to improve the quality of life. It takes time to make changes to make life better, everyone wants a try at it. Query Based (Question that brings the reader to the topic - avoid second person POV “you”) Are there really steps to make the quality of life much better? 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) Assertion (claim - a subject + a “so what” about the subject) Life is hard, everyone has their fair share of it and it is no good to dwell on it. Fact (empirically veriﬁable but often di cult to argue extensively about - better used as evidence to support a claim) Learn from the problems that one is facing so that individuals could grow. Opinion (personal position on a topic) Learning from the problem is easy. Belief (social, religious, or political in nature – an opinion held by many to be a fact, though it is not necessarily factual – often involves a judgement)

Going through the life obstacle helps the individual grow spiritually and mentially. Generalization (uses absolute or statistical pronouns: all, always, every, never, none, most, half – avoid using this type of thesis statement unless citing the source of the data) Most people avoid the problem to skip the pain they are facing. Document Based (cites a specific source, author, and position on a topic) In The Road Less Traveled, M.Scott Peck, M.D claims that when being faced with a problem in life the best thing they can do is to face it and not avoid it for they would learn from it and carry that knowledge. Theory (a statement that can be tested and potentially proven - often answers a research question) Avoiding the problem can lead to mental illness to an extent. 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) The author expresses this by noting how most people who are doing unhealthy coping m mechanisms to ignore the problem causing their mental health to degrade. This demonstrates how the author acknowledges how people face their problems and is . proposing solutions to help to get out of the cycle of avoiding the problem. This information proposes to get through the problems in life and to face them and not m. to avoid them because it would degrade mental health. It is necessary to have problems . in life so the individuals are able to grow from it a step towards happiness.

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) Furthermore, to improve life is to face the problem and not run away from it. (Now every sentence in this paragraph

must be related to the connection between fast food and health) Presenting Evidence from Quotations (quotes should NEVER be used as individual sentences – quotes should be embedded within sentences) Original Quote - “ Problems are the cutting edge that distinguishes between success and failure” (Peck 1). Ex. Peck claims, “Problems are the cutting edge that distinguishes between success and failure” (Peck 1). Ex. “Problems are the cutting edge that distinguishes between success and failure” claims Peck (Peck 1). Ex. Fortunately for optimists, “Problems are the cutting edge that distinguishes between success and failure” (Peck 1). Ex. Fortunately for optimists, “ Problems are the [perfect] cutting edge that distinguishes between success and failure” (Peck 1). Ex. Fortunately for optimists, “Problems...distinguish… success and failure” (Peck 1). 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 - “ Problems are the cutting edge that distinguishes between success and failure” (Peck 1). Ex. PARAPHRASE – Problems can help whether the person desicon be successful or fail (Peck1) Summarizing (condensing larger quotes or sections - useful for closing the examination of the quote/evidence and transitioning to your analysis of the quote) Original Quote - “ Problems are the cutting edge that distinguishes between success and failure” (Peck 1). Ex. SUMMARY – Problems decide success and failure. Abstract Examples (hypothetical, “what if” examples that do not refer to a source – AVOID USING THEM AS EVIDENCE – but useful for examining the quote) Ex. Some might learn from their problems and grow mentally. Concrete Examples (actual examples that do refer to a source – useful for enhancing your analysis of the quote) Ex. An article from the CDC the Well-Being Concepts explains that people who have high levels of well-being 29

tend to be more productive at work and most likely to contribute to communities. 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) Ex. Clearly, this intell how people who have a high level of well-being are more ready, prepared to do anything that life throws at them.

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) Ex. If people truly wish to be happy then avoiding the problem is a solution so they won’t feel any dread of regrets; or any sadness to their mental health. Statement(s) of Extension (extending the consequences of disregarding the implications of the thesis – could be one or more sentences) Ex. As the person keeps avoiding their problem their mental state will decrease, the individual would never learn how to grow past their problem creating a cycle of adovence. Reestablishing the Significance of the Thesis (could be one or more sentences) Ex. Thus, life is full of problems and when the individual chooses to avoid it - it causes more problems than resolves. Final Sentence (connects to the hook and finishes the essay (finish your argument) – the “ Smoky the Bear”/”Drop the mic”/dot dot dot moment…) Ex. Life is a game, make a move...
