We read The Arabian Nights, Comedy of Errors, Cyrano de Bergerac, and Cry, the Beloved Country in English class this year.
We will read Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, Monkey, selections from Greek and Roman mythology and from Aesop's Fables, George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion, and Jules Verne's Around the World in 80 Days next year.
Another way to form a series is to use the commas but to leave out the conjunction at the end. It is used to indicate that the list is incomplete. It is not used often!
I love so many of the Pixar movies: Toy Story, Toy Story 2, Toy Story 3, Monsters, Inc, Finding Nemo, Up!
Another way to form a series is by eliminating the commas and separating each item with a conjunction. It is used to slow the reader down and draw attention to each item. It is not used often!
I love so many of the Pixar movies: Toy Story and Toy Story 2 and Toy Story 3 and Monsters, Inc and Finding Nemo and Cars and Cars 2 and Rataouille and Up!
For the last two weeks of the year (for units 29 and 30), you will use series in your sentences. Use at least one of each kind each week, just for practice.
