Compound Sentences My parents caught a severe cold; consequently, they had to cancel their vacation. Some people like basketball; others prefer baseball. Conjunctive Adverb Semi-colon

Complex Sentence A complex sentence has at least two parts: one that can stand alone and another one that cannot The part that cannot stand alone is linked to the rest of the sentence by a subordinating conjunction

Complex Sentence Since my boyfriend and I wanted to have fun, we went to San Juan yesterday.

Complex Sentence Since we wanted to have fun, Part that cannot stand alone Subordinating Conjunction Subject Predicate we went to San Juan yesterday.

Compound-Complex Sentence This type of sentence has more than one part that can stand alone, and at least one that cannot Notice how the different conjunctions link the different parts of this sentence
