The document discusses two types of sentences: cumulative and periodic. A cumulative sentence has an independent clause followed by a dependent clause, while a periodic sentence has a dependent clause followed by an independent clause. Cumulative sentences are used to clarify ideas and are found mostly in non-fiction, while periodic sentences are used for introductions and are found more in fiction. The document provides examples and non-examples of each sentence type and contains an assessment to test the understanding of cumulative, periodic, dependent and independent clauses.
