Colleagues, Would you consider the sentence that the students diagrammed an appropriate independent sentence? In other words, is the "for" just a coordinating conjunction beginning the entire string or is it a subordinating conjunction? Bob Yates >>> Scott Catledge <[log in to unmask]> 03/19/11 8:26 PM >>> In a final examination for Senior English grammar in a religious preparatory academy all students who passed the course were able to diagram the following sentence accurately for the purely grammatical section of the examination: "For I know Whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I have committed unto Him against that day." The students also wrote a final argumentive paper in class on a topic assigned in class that day was graded for grammar, word choice, sentence structure, spelling, and critical reasoning.
