Sentence Punctuation Patterns
Title: “Opener/ Interrupter/ Closer”
Copy the following sentence patterns down & memorize them:
1.
Opener, sentence.
2. Sent, interrupter, ence.
^^^^non-essential dep clause or phrase
2.5 Sent interrupter ence.
^^^^ essential dep clause or phrase NO COMMAS!
3. Sentence closer.
Sentence = independent clause
Opener, interrupter, closer = dependent clauses, &
phrases
Consider this analogy.
– ESSENTIAL MEANING - Visualize… a hot fudge sundae
with whipped cream and a cherry on top! The whipped
cream and cherry are NECESSARY for the total hot fudge
sundae experience.
– NON-ESSENTIAL MEANING - Visualize… a hot fudge
sundae with whipped cream and a cherry on top. The
whipped cream and cherry are NOT NECESSARY for the
sundae experience. It’s all about the hot fudge. Some whip
cream and a cherry might be used, but they are not
necessary for the experience.
Sentence Pattern Examples:

Test Taking Strategies
See the blog for a PowerPoint with useful tips.
• “Not” questions – Use True/False test. For each
answer, decide if it is true or false. The “false”
answer is the “NOT” answer.
• Process of elimination. Consider what you know
and cross out every answer that is incorrect.
Read closely and make an educated decision on
the remaining answers.
I will model these for you.
