More Kinds of Sentences

There are four more main kinds of sentences. These deal with structure. They are: Simple, Compound, Complex, and Compound-Complex.

A Simple sentence is a sentence that does not have conjunctions (such as: as, and, or, but) and more than one independent clause. An independent clause can stand alone as a sentence. Simple sentences can be quite long, so make sure you don't confuse them for any of the other kinds of sentences!

A Compound sentence is a sentence that has two or more independent clauses. It is joined by a conjunction, such as: as, and, or, but. If two clauses are used, they have equal importance.

A Complex sentence is a sentence that has one independent clause and one dependent clause. The dependent clause wouldn't make sense if it standed alone. Like the compound sentence, this sentence has two or more clauses. Unlike the compound sentence, however, one clause is more important than the other.

A Compound-Complex sentence can be tricky. It joins two complex sentences, or one simple sentence and one complex sentence. This type of sentence has to have at least two independent clauses, and one dependent clause. Sometimes, a conjunction, such as consequently, however, although will be at the beginning of this sentence, but it isn't required.

More Kinds of Sentences - Examples

Simple	Jump! What was the last school you attended? Without lots of time, Chuck had to sneak out of the lecture.
Compound	The restraunt had lots of menu choices, but the drinks were the worst. I like to swim and play soccer. I wish we didn't go to the theme park for it was crowded.
Complex	When Joe turned in his homework, he forgot to turn in the second part. Since the class didn't win the pizza party, they were forced to do written work all day. The teacher gave the student's test back before she caught the error.
Compound-Complex	Jack was average, but Joe, who was smarter than Jack, got a lower grade on the test. Although the teacher was smart, her students' outcomes were still only average; she couldn't teach well. Because the show was canceled and the nearby theme park was closed, we decided to head home.
