Simple Sentences �A simple sentence is one independent clause. �It expresses a complete thought. �It has one subject and one verb.
Simple Sentences �Examples: • Carol’s sweater is red. • You and Alex need to be quiet. • Ms. Goldstein did a cartwheel.
Compound Sentences �A compound sentence is a sentence with 2 or more independent clauses joined by a comma and a coordinating conjunction. �It will have 2 simple subjects and 2 simple predicates.
Compound Sentences �Examples: �Ren planned to go to the hockey game, but he couldn’t get tickets. �Andrew loves monkeys, but he also likes lemurs.
Coordinating Conjunctions � Coordinating Conjunctions are used to join together 2 independent clauses. � Examples: � For � And � Nor � But � Or � Yet � So
Complex Sentences �A complex sentence is one independent clause plus one dependent clause. �Each clause has its own subject and verb, but the dependent clause can’t stand alone. � The two clauses are joined by a subordinating conjunction.
Complex Sentences �Examples: • When Trey was little, he did very weird things. • Alex stands at the bottom of the cliff while the climber moves up the rock.
Subordinating Conjunctions AAAWWUBBIS! � As � Although � After � When � While � Until � Because � Before � If � Since
Compound-Complex Sentences �A compound-complex sentence has at least 2 independent clauses and one or more dependent clauses. �WOWSERS! That’s a lot of stuff!
Compound Complex Sentences �Example: • Lauren forgot her friend’s birthday, so she sent her a card when she finally remembered.
Think You’ve Got It? Check your foldable: � 1 independent clause = simple sentence � 2 independent clauses = compound sentence � 1 or more dependent clause + 1 indep. clause = complex sentence � 2 or more indep. clauses + 1 or more dep. clause = compound complex sentence
