This course offers an in-depth exploration of English sentence and clause structure, enabling students to understand how meaning is constructed through grammar. It introduces learners to the fundamental difference between sentences and clauses, gradually guiding them toward more advanced structures such as compound and complex sentences.
The course begins by laying the groundwork with clear distinctions between clauses and sentences, addressing their structural components and communicative functions. Students then explore how sentences differ in function (declarative, interrogative, imperative, exclamatory) and in form (simple, compound, complex, and compound-complex).
A significant portion of the course is devoted to the different types of clauses—independent and dependent—as well as their subcategories, including noun, adjective (relative), and adverbial clauses. Learners will examine these both in isolation and in context, with attention to how clauses contribute to sentence clarity and cohesion.
The final part of the course provides a focused study of the compound sentence. Students will learn how coordination, juxtaposition, and insertion create relationships between ideas, improve cohesion, and add stylistic variety. Attention is also given to punctuation, connectors, and patterns of linkage.
Throughout the course, learners will engage in analysis, transformation, and production exercises to reinforce their understanding. They will read examples, combine sentences, deconstruct structures, and apply theoretical knowledge in writing and speaking tasks. By the end of the course, students will have a strong command of sentence construction and clause usage, enabling them to produce accurate and sophisticated English in academic and professional contexts.
