Today we're going to look at ways of connecting ideas there are many ways of doing these using conjunctions words that join first let's listen to poll Gibson an architect while he takes us on a tour love his new environmentally friendly solar house well complain about two years ago and the I guess wanna interesting things about it is that its 50 house and I'm nice houses guess they say is a but funny and where is this is father on SR timber on the outside at the specs on the inside well I guess the very high windows along the north side going down to the lower ceiling hot on the south basically a lassie to get lot of sign in through these winners in winter and the louvers which guy out actually go to a point where the some can be shy to completely in summer but they can be opened to let some right back into the house through winter this helps house actually has two to North Faces does the north by civil the living rooms 3 trying and then the master bedroom has a North Face and the other bedrooms all seven of us as met trying to maximize the what we call aperture of the house which is how much sonya to get into that in winter I K now we've listened to poll let's look at the way he connected his ideas good communication especially in an academic setting is all about expressing and connecting but simple and complex ideas there are many ways to do this simple sentences express a single simple idea the most simple sentence consists of just a subject and devoted the door opens the woman enters the easiest way of connecting ideas is using coordination that taking two simple sentences and linking them with the conjunction or joining word the most common conjunction on and and but other common ones I yet or for and sigh we use the most simple conjunctions in place a full stop the door opens the woman enters the door opens and the woman enters the door opens the woman doesn't enter the dough I pins but the woman doesn't enter this into an example here well complains about two years ago and the I guess wanna interesting things about it is that it's five a house and I'm nice houses guess they says a but finance its a fiber a house and most houses a brick veneer is a fiber house most houses a brick veneer these a two simple sentences they can be linked together to form a longer sentence cold a compound sentence is a fiber house and most houses a brick veneer compound sentences have to independent closes to causes that can be separate sentences here's another one ceiling hot on the south basically a lassie to get lot of sign in through these mean as in winter and the louvers which guy out actually go to a point where the some can be shy to completely in summer but I can be opened to let some right back into the house through winter he's talking about the louvers he joins together two sentences the losers go to a point where the Sun can be shaded completely in summer they can be opened to let the Sun back in three winter he joins the sentences together using but notice we use a comma as well the louvers go to a point where the Sun can be shaded completely in summer comma ot they can be opened to let the Sun back in three winter the conjunctions and and but can also be used to join words and phrases in list we separate words with comments and then use a final and the house is made a fibroid the house is made of ivory and timber the house is made of fibro timber and breaks listen to this example nice houses guess they says a but finance where is this is five on the outside timber on the outside but the specs on the inside he forms one compound sentence from simple sentences the houses fibro on the outside it is timber on the outside it is bricks on the inside noticed that and is used to list similar things but is used to contrast different items in a list so we could also say the houses fibroid and timber on the outside but bricks on the inside okay so that's an introduction to coordination remember coordination is linking independent causes with conjunctions these forms compound sentences in another way to join ideas is using subordination subordination is linking and independent clause with a dependent clause to make a complex sentence dependent clauses a close is that cannot exist separately in separate sentences they need or depend on each other we can form complex sentences in two ways we can use relative pronouns who whose which where or we can use conjunctions black because or whereas when writing or speaking it's important for you to practice using a variety of sentences you need to use simple compound and complex sentences he is another example trying to maximize the what we call aperture of the house which is how much sonya to get into in winter he uses and independent and a dependent clause here look at these two sentences they're trying to maximize the aperture of the house the aperture of the house is how much fun you get he joins tasty sentences together with a relative pronoun they're trying to maximize the aperture of the house comma which is how much Sun you get now let's practice that join a simple sentences to make compound sentences using coordination here try to use and and pot the master bedroom has a North Face the other bedrooms have a North Face the master bedroom and the other bedrooms have a North Face and here's another one the house is warm in winter the house is cool in summer the house is warm in winter comma but it's Colin summer now let's practice subordination that's making two sentences into one complex sentence try using whereas the house is warm in winter most houses a cold in winter this can become the house is warm in winter comma whereas most houses a cold in winter and here's another one here try to link the sentences using which the house is made of fibroid fibroid is a cheap building material the house is made a fibroid we teach is a cheap building material you need to practice forming simple compound and complex sentences there are many ways to do it in many different ways of punctuating this is very important for your written work and that's all for today I'll see you next time on study English
