5. Sentence Structure
A sentence is a grammatical unit made up of one or more words.
Sentences can be structured in different ways.

6. Simple Sentence A simple sentence has a subject and ONLY ONE verb:
The girl sprinted after the tiger.
The cat purred.

7. 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.

8. 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 but there is none left. He is studying because he has a test tomorrow. The big dog barked when I arrived.

9. Antecedents
An antecedent is the word (or words) that a pronoun refers to.
The word antecedent means to go before in Latin. It gets its name from the idea that a pronoun refers to something previously mentioned in the sentence.
Ex: When you see the professor, please tell him I'll be 10 minutes late this evening.
