STRUCTURE PART 6
SENTENCES WITH MULTIPLE CLAUSES
Many sentences in English have more than one clause. ( A clause is a group of words containing a subject and a verb.) whenever you find a sentences on the TOEFL test with more than one clause, you need to make sure that every subject has a verb and every verb has a subject. Next you need to check that the various clauses in the sentence are correctly joined. There are various ways to join clauses in English. Certain patterns appear frequently in English and on the TOEFL test. You should be very familiar with these patterns.
Skill 6 : USE COORDINATE CONNECTORS CORRECTLY
When you have two clauses in a English sentence, you must connect the two clauses correctly. One way to connect two clauses is to use and, but, or, so, or yet between the clauses.
Tom is singing, and Paul is dancing.
Tom is tall, but Paul is short.
PAGE 210
Tom must write the letter,or Paul will do it.
Tom told a joke,so Paul laughed.
Tom is tired, yethe is not goingto sleep.
In each of these examples, there are two clauses that are correctly joined with a coordinate conjunction and, but, or, so or yet, and a comma (,).
The following example shows how this sentence pattern could be tested in structure questions on the TOEFL test.
Example from the Paper and Computer TOEFL® TestA power failure occurred, the lamps went out
a)Then
b)So
c)Later
d)next
In this example you should notice quicklythat there are two clauses, a power failure occurred and the lamps went out. This sentence needs a connector to join the two clauses. Then, later, and next are not connectors, so answers (A), (C), and (C) are not correct. The best answer is answer (B) because so can connect two clauses.
The following chart lists the coordinate connectors and the sentence pattern used with them :
COORDINATE CONNECTORSAnd but or so yet
S V, coordinate connectors S V
She laughed but she wanted to cry
EXERCISE 6 : each of the following sentences contains more than one clause. Underlines the subjects once and the verbs twice. Circle the connectors. Then indicate if the sentences are correct (C) or incorrect (I).
1. The softwareshould be used on a laptop computer, and this computeris a laptop.
2. The rain cloudscan be seen in the distance, but no has fallen.
3. They are trying to sell their house, it has been on the market for two months.
4. So the quality of the print was not good, I changes the typewriter ribbon.
5. The lifeguard will warn you about the riptides, or she may require tou to get out of the water.
6. You should have finished the work yesterday, yes is not close to being finished today.

ADDITIONAL MATERIAL REFERENCE
401K - a type of retirement savings account in the United States which takes its name from subsection401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. A contributor can begin to withdraw funds after reaching the age of 59 1/2 years. 401(k)s were first widely adopted as retirement plans for American workers, beginning in the 1980s. The 401(k) emerged as an alternative to the traditional retirement pension, which was paid by employers. Employer contributions with the 401(k) can vary, but in general the 401(k) had the effect of shifting the burden for retirement savings to workers themselves.
