Syntax Review �Syntax is the way words are arranged in sentences. In other words, syntax is sentence structure. Syntax controls verbal pacing and focus. Syntax includes the following elements Sentence parts (pay close attention to subjects, verbs, clauses, phrases) Word order (normal order in English is to have the subject first then the verb and other details- changing order changes meaning) � Jim said he drives only a truck (he drives nothing else) � Jim said that only he drives a truck (No one else drives a truck) � Jim only said he drives a truck (He probably doesn’t really drive a truck) � Only Jim said that he drives a truck (No one else said it)

Syntax Review �Sentence length Writers vary sentence length to keep their readers interested and to control what their readers pay attention to. �Punctuation Semicolon (; )-joins two or more clauses when there is no coordinating conjunction (FANBOYS). When a semicolon is used, all clauses are equally important, and the reader should pay equal attention to them all. Colon (: )- tells the reader that something important will follow. Dash (-) marks a sudden change in thought or sets off a summary. Parentheses can do this too, but the dash is more informal and conversational. Italics- are used to talk about a word as a word (He used the word really too many times) or for emphasis.
