Punctuation Marks in English
Punctuation marks in English serve various purposes, including indicating pauses, separating elements, clarifying meaning, and organizing text.
Noun-Modifying (Adjective) Clauses
Noun-Modifying Clauses, also known as Adjective Clauses, are dependent clauses that function as adjectives in a sentence.
Compound Sentences
A compound sentence is a type of sentence that consists of two or more independent clauses (complete sentences) joined together. The key characteristic of a compound sentence is that these independent clauses are connected either by coordinating conjunctions or by punctuation.
Parallelism in English Grammar
In English grammar, the phenomenon where similar or parallel elements within a sentence are presented with a balanced and harmonious structure is called parallelism. It involves using the same grammatical form or structure for items in a list, a series, or a comparison to enhance clarity, coherence, and overall readability.
