2. INTRODUCTION
• THE DEFINITION OF CONJUNCTION MAY ALSO BE EXTENDED
TO IDIOMATIC PHRASES THAT BEHAVE AS A UNIT WITH THE
SAME FUNCTION, E.G. "AS WELL AS", "PROVIDED THAT".
• A SIMPLE LITERARY EXAMPLE OF A CONJUNCTION IS: "THE
TRUTH OF NATURE, AND THE POWER OF GIVING INTEREST"
• A CONJUNCTION MAY BE PLACED AT THE BEGINNING OF A
SENTENCE "BUT SOME SUPERSTITION ABOUT THE PRACTICE
PERSISTS

3. TYPES OF SENTENCES

4. TYPES OF SENTENCES
• SIMPLE SENTENCE-
A SIMPLE SENTENCE MUST HAVE A SINGLE CLAUSE (A SINGLE VERB) WHICH IS
INDEPENDENT, AND IT CANNOT TAKE ANOTHER CLAUSE.
EXAMPLE:

• COMPOUND SENTENCE-
A COMPOUND SENTENCE MUST HAVE MORE THAN ONE INDEPENDENT CLAUSE WITH
NO DEPENDENT CLAUSES. SOME SPECIFIC CONJUNCTIONS, PUNCTUATION, OR BOTH
ARE USED TO JOIN TOGETHER THESE CLAUSES.
EXAMPLE:
I ALWAYS WANTED TO BECOME A WRITER, AND SHE WANTED TO BECOME A DOCTOR.
(TWO INDEPENDENT CLAUSES – TWO VERBS).

5. TYPES OF SENTENCES
• COMPLEX SENTENCE-
A COMPLEX SENTENCE ALSO HAS MORE THAN ONE CLAUSE BUT OF ONE
THEM MUST BE AN INDEPENDENT CLAUSE AND THE OTHER/OTHERS
MUST BE (A) DEPENDENT CLAUSE(ES). THERE ARE ALSO SOME
PARTICULAR CONNECTORS FOR THE CLAUSES OF A COMPLEX SENTENCE
TO BE CONNECTED.
EXAMPLE:
I KNOW THAT YOU ALWAYS WANTED TO BE A WRITER. (HERE, A
DEPENDENT CLAUSE IS FOLLOWED BY A CONNECTOR AND AN
INDEPENDENT CLAUSE. THE OTHER WAY AROUND IS ALSO POSSIBLE.)
