Biotechnology and solution fluency
Personal debrief
Personally for me this project really got me thinking about the economic state of the world. I really learned a lot about biotechnology and I got a lot of thinking done. Well what went wrong was we weren’t entirely organized. and Life got in the way of our productivity.
Grammar Video Project – Conjunctions
Due to the fact that my Grammar Video exceeded past the upload limit I was forced to put it on Youtube. Click on the link above, Enjoy.
Conjunctions
This is my written proportion of the Grammar Video Project. I will be explaining in depth, the meaning, rule and how to use Conjunctions. First off, what are the grammar rules for conjunctions. “A conjunction is a word that joins two or more words, phrases or clauses in a single sentence.” Also, a clause is a subject or predicate. I think conjunctions are by far one of the most useful things in a sentence. Let’s say that you had a sentence that was too long or a run on, if you separated it into two sentences the second sentence would become too short. But with the help of a conjunction, you put both sentences together and keep it grammatically correct. You can almost always find a conjunction in a sentence because of how useful it is. Now here are some grammatically incorrect sentences examples. For example: Patrcia goes to work, later comes home to play chess. Do you see the problem, because I do. That sentence felt so awkward to say, almost like it had something missing. That’s because it did have something missing for it to make complete grammatical sense. Now let’s see how it would be different with an actual conjunction: Patrcia goes to work and later comes home to play chess. See how that looks and feels better. The reason the sentence was wrong before was because it was a run-on sentence without a conjunction. That was me explaining Conjunctions with the definition, rule and example. Hope you learned something new!
