Sentence Types Sentences can be classified 3 ways. (Phrases do not change the type of sentence.)

The type of sentence is determined by 2 factors: 1.How many clauses? 2.What type of clauses?

Every clause needs 2 things: 1. Subject 2. Verb

Remember Independent clauses always stand by themselves. Subordinate clauses never stand by themselves.

Definitions Simple- Contains only 1 independent clause. Compound- Contains 2 or more independent clauses. Complex- Contains 1 independent clause and 1 or more subordinate clause(s). Example- The door is open. P.A. Example- The door is open, and a draft is coming into the room. P.A. Example- The door that Jonathan left open is letting a draft into the room. adv. D.O.

Compound Require Coordinating Conjunctions –A part of speech that connects equal things (subject with subject, independent clause with independent clause, etc.).

There are 2 ways to combine sentences with coordinating conjunctions.

Combining- 1 Create a compound subject, verb, D.O., etc. Examples- Stephen is a student. Rachel is a student. →Stephen and Rachel are students. Create a compound subject, verb, D.O., etc. Examples- I like to kayak for fun. I like to go rock climbing. →I like to go kayaking and rock climbing for fun.

Combining- 2 Create a compound sentence. Examples- Turkey tastes delicious. People like to eat turkey on Thanksgiving. →Turkey tastes delicious, and people like to eat it on Thanksgiving.
