Simple Sentences
A simple sentence has one complete thought and only one subject-verb connection.
1. Simple subject, simple predicate.
Example:
Gretchen goes to school.
Richard plays basketball.
2. Simple subject, compound predicate.
Example:
Linda went to the market and bought fruits.
Nelson turns on the radio and listens to the music.
3. Compound subject, simple predicate.
Example:
Father and mother stare at the baby.
The priest and the nuns pray together.
4. Compound subject, compound predicate.
Example:
Jake and T.J. run to the door and welcome their new friends.
Maria and Julie prepare the ingredients and bake a carrot cake.
Complex Sentence
A complex sentence consists of an independent clause and a dependent clause, joining them together.
Example:
Because it was cold in the morning, I decided to wear a jacket.
Jason did not lock his front door because he lost his keys.
Compound Sentence
A compound sentence is made by using a coordinating conjunction (for, and , nor, but, or, yet, so) to join two independent clauses using a comma.
Example:
The pilot misplaced his map, but he still found the airport.
The sprinter ran really slow, yet he won the race.
The rain poured heavily and it flooded the streets.
Compound-Complex Sentence
A compound-complex sentence is made from at least two independent clauses and one or more dependent clauses.
This sentence structure gets to be a little more complicated. Students usually have a hard time with this because they have not formed a good base knowledge of the other structures. This is a very common sentence structure in English.
Example:
Even though I love to eat ice cream, I haven’t had any money lately, so I can’t go to the store to buy some.
Independent Clause: “I haven’t had any money lately”
Independent Clause: “I can’t go to the store to buy some.”
Dependent Clause: “Even though I love to eat ice cream…”
The doctor attends to the sick infant while a nurse helps him and an attendant waits for his instruction.
The policeman runs after the criminal while the crowd gives way to him and the old woman prays to get her money back.
Clauses
1. A dependent clause has a subject and predicate but do not express a complete thought.
Example:
during the Japanese occupation
while she was crying
2. An independent clause consists of a subject and a predicate and has a complete thought. A sentence is an independent clause.
Example:
My favorite dish is Chicken and Rice.
Jessica was born on May 14th, 2008.
