知识点 8

Choose coordination/subordination structures that reflect intended relationships.

核心知识

Sentence structure should show the real relationship between ideas, not just place them side by side.

深入理解

Rule: Coordination gives equal weight to ideas. Subordination shows that one idea provides the reason, condition, contrast, or time frame for the other.

  • When ACT asks you to combine sentences, do not choose by rhythm alone. Choose the structure that tells the reader how the ideas connect.
