Answer 2
Answer:

Answer:

Iambic pentameter originated from Shakespeare so I will use a part of a  for an example.

When we were younger we learned how to find syllables, like clapping your hands while reading etc. that is basically the same thing you would apply to iambic pentameter

Iambic pentameter has a rhythm to it. Just imagine it, bum.. boom ... so now that you know that it has a rhythm and you need to know the syllables we can try an example

Line 1) When I do count the clock that tells the time,

[ When is one syllable so that would be our bum and I is one syllable so that would be our boom..so on and so forth(each boom and bum counts as one syllable]

Line 2) And   see       the     brave   day     sunk      in        hid  -    eous   night;

          [bum]  [boom] [bum] [boom] [bum] [boom]  [bum] [boom] [bum] [boom]

 (notice hideous is two syllables )

*******IMPORTANT: Iambic pentameter will ALWAYS have 10 syllables

Identify the sentence type. Because I already said yes to someone else, I can't go to the dance with you.compound or complex

Answers

Answer:

Your answer would be that the sentence above is a complex sentence.

Explanation:

A complex sentence has one independent clause and at least one dependent clause. The difference between an independent clause and a dependent one is that the former can stand alone as a sentence because it represents a complete idea. On the contrary, dependent clauses are dependent on the independent part of the sentence in order to complete their meaning, so they fail to stand alone as sentences (see 1). In the sentence above, the dependent clause has been introduced by the subordinating conjunction because.

1) *Because I already said yes to someone else,

The type of sentence given is a compound sentence. It is a compound sentence because it consists of two independent sentences: "I already said yes to someone else" and "I can't go to the dance with you". In order to link the two sentences, the conjunction "because" is used.
