Conjunction Junction

This week in class while reading papers out loud we focused on grammar. Grammar is the most common mistake found in papers. Grammar has always been a tough subject for me; and I still have to go back and check that each of my sentences has a subject and a predicate. A sentence must express a complete thought. A sentence could be as simple as “Dogs bark.” The noun being dogs, and the verb being bark. What I struggle the most on is commas, semicolons, and colons. I always get these confused, and some times use the wrong one. A comma connects and links the sentence. (I love English, but I hate math.) A semicolon links related independent clauses. In addition, a colon links independent clauses that define or explain each other. (My favorite class are: English, History, and Science.)

However, when it comes to grammar, no one knows it better than School House Rock! We all remember this animated musical educational short film. The topics covered included grammar, science, economics, history, mathematics, and civics. Airing on Saturday morning children's programming on the U.S. television network ABC The series produced original episodes between 1973 and 1986 with 37 episodes. The famous “conjunction junction what’s your function” is well remembered, and the catchy tune that will never be forgotten. Just incase you need a refreshment of this song, the video is below!
