Sentence Structure Do you know what these terms mean? Simple sentence Compound sentence Complex sentence Subject Predicate

Simple Sentence The most basic type of sentence; it contains only one independent clause (idea) For example: Elizabeth Proctor was accused of witchcraft. (Subject)(Predicate)

Compound Sentence Contains two independent clauses (simple sentences) joined together by a conjunction (and, but, so) For example: (Clause #1) Elizabeth Proctor was accused of witchcraft, but she was never hung for her crime. (Conjunction)(Clause #2)

Complex Sentence Contains one dependent clause and one independent clause; helps to highlight importance or significance of information For example: (Dependent clause) Although Elizabeth Proctor was accused of witchcraft, she was not hung for her crime. (Independent clause)

Checking Your Sentence Structure: Take a look at your paragraph(s) ◦ Theme/quote ◦ Character (depending on how much you have) Do you vary your sentence structure? Could your sentences be improved to emphasize meaning or importance?

Check your order: How many of your sentences begin with the subject and end with the predicate?

Check your vocabulary: Do you use sophisticated words? Could the words you’ve selected be improved? Are your details/descriptions concise and appropriate? Have you repeated any words or phrases?
