Simple, Compound and Complex Sentences

Clauses- a review A main (independent) clause contains a subject and predicate and can stand alone Ex. Houston plays baseball. A subordinate (dependent) clause contains a subject and predicate but is not a complete thought; it begins with a subordinating conjunction Ex. Because we won the game

Simple Sentences A simple sentence is a basic sentence that expresses a complete thought. It contains: A subject A verb A complete thought Ex. The train was late. Mary and Maggie took the bus.

Compound Sentences A compound sentence contains two main clauses joined by a comma and a coordinating conjunction. Compound sentences connect two simple sentences, but they often do not show a clear relationship between the two parts. Ex. I waited for the bus, but it was late. Independent clause Independent clause

Complex Sentences A complex sentence contains a main clause and one or more dependent clauses. If the dependent clause comes before the independent clause, add a comma after the dependent clause. If the main clause comes first, no comma is needed between the two. Complex sentences can show a more specific relationship between the parts of the sentence than a compound sentence.

Complex Sentence Examples Independent clause first: We won the game because we worked together as a team. Dependent clause first: Although I broke my arm, I still cheered for my team from the sidelines.

Compound-Complex Sentences A compound-complex sentence contains two independent clauses and at least one dependent clause. This is the most sophisticated type of sentence you can use. Ex. Though Jack prefers watching comedy films, he rented the latest spy thriller, and he enjoyed it very much.

Identify the type of sentence Our coach will host a pizza party when we win our first game. Olivia and Caroline went to the movies. James grilled burgers, and Patrick made a salad. Since I made the honor roll, my parents let me have a friend spend the night. Before Alice called me, she called her mom, and her mom asked her to babysit her brother.
