Types of Sentences Overview:  Simple Sentence- has a subject and a predicate and expresses a complete thought. Can have compound subject and/or compound predicate.  Compound Sentence- when simple sentences are joined together. They are joined by a comma and a connecting word (and, or, but- coordinating conjunctions).  Complex Sentence- when simple sentences are joined by other connecting words (after, although, as, because, before, if, since, unless, until, when, whenever, while- subordinating conjunctions).

Conjunctions Connecting words and, or, and but. Use… And to add information Or to give a choice But to show contrast These are coordinating conjunctions. You can use CONJUNCTIONS to make subjects, predicates, and sentences compound. Remember to use a comma before the conjunction in a compound sentence. Subordinating conjunctions are used to make sentences complex: AfterBecauseSinceWhen AlthoughBeforeUnlessWhenever AsIfUntilWhile

Compound Sentences Compound Sentence- when simple sentences are joined together by a comma and a connecting word (and, or, but- coordinating conjunctions). Ken pitched the ball. Ed swung at it. Ken pitched the ball, and Ed swung at it. The ball soared high in the air. Ed did not move. The ball soared high in the air, but Ed did not move.

Complex Sentences Complex Sentence- when simple sentences are joined by other connecting words (after, although, as, because, before, if, since, unless, until, when, whenever, while- subordinating conjunctions).  One part of the complex sentence is not able to stand on its own. One part is more “important” than the other. If you ever see a python, you will recognize it. Pythons seem scary because they can be so large. While some pythons are only three feet, others may grow to thirty feet. Although pythons do not bite, they can be very dangerous.
