Types of sentences Simple sentence Compound sentence Complex sentence

What is a simple sentence? Sentences can be structured in different ways. A simple sentence has a subject and ONLY ONE verb: The girl sprinted after the tiger. The cat purred.

What is a compound sentence? A compound sentence is formed when you join two main clauses with a connective: I like bananas and I like grapes. Zoe can be rude at times but she is a nice girl.

What is a complex sentence? A complex sentence is formed when you join a main clause and a subordinate clause with a connective. A subordinate clause is one that relies on a main clause to make sense. I love chocolate ice-cream, but I would choose vanilla if there wasn’t chocolate.

What types of sentences are these? The cake was delicious but next time I will use chocolate in the batter.________________ Aliya sliced the apple.___________ While the cake cooled, I prepared the frosting.__________________ It was cold but we still went to town._____________ Hassan has been running._____________ It was raining and we stayed indoors.__________________ You can't persuade me to go to town, no matter how hard you try._______________
