+ Interrogative Sentence: is one that makes questions. EX: Are you a student? + Imperative Sentence: is one that gives orders or advice. EX: Put your toys away! + Exclamatory Sentence: is one that expresses a strong feeling or emotion. EX: How strange it is!

+ Compound Sentence: is one that consists of two or more independent clauses. These clauses are joined: a) By coordinating Conjunction: (AND, BUT, OR, SO, NOR, YET, FOR, …) generally preceded by a comma. EX: The strike ended, and the men returned to work. We knocked on the door, but nobody answered.

He worked hard indeed, yet he failed in his exam. Wear your raincoat, or carry an umbrella. I don’t know, nor do I care. It is time to go, so let us start. You have to go to bed, for it is too late. b) By the semicolon. EX: John is very intelligent; he is a good friend, too.

The body was cold; the man was dead; no tears could bring him back to life. c) By conjunctive adverbs: (HOWEVER, MOREOVER, NEVERTHELESS, THEREFORE, STILL, THEN, ALSO, …) generally preceded by a semicolon and followed by a comma. EX 1 : The teacher was angry; nevertheless, he replied calmly. EX 2 : The day was very cold; therefore, we stayed indoors.

EX 3 : Time seems to fly when you are happy. EX 4 : When he returned to his native village, he found that everything was different. + Compound Complex Sentence: is one that consists of all three kinds of clauses in it. EX 1 : You say you want to get on; then, work a little harder.

EX 2 : When we were looking at the window, we found Mr. Brown, who was a friend of my father’s, so little Ann hurried to let him in.
