According to
Structure

13. A Sentence may consist of one clause
(independent clause) or more clauses
(independent and dependent clauses). An
independent clause is also called main clause. A
dependent clause is also called subordinate
clause. On the basis of numbers of clause and
types of clauses presents in a sentence,
sentences are divided into four kinds.

14. Simple Sentence
–Consists of only one independent clause containing a
subject and a verb and it expresses complete thought.
–No dependent clause
–Also called Main clause
–May have a compound subject or a compound
predicate.

15. EXAMPLES
–I cook.
–They ate Korean pasta.
–He danced.
–She sang like a superstar.

16. Compound Sentence
– Consists of at least two independent clauses joined together by considering
conjunctions.
– No dependent clauses
– Uses coordinating conjunction to join independent clauses such as for, and,
nor, but, or, yet, so (FANBOYS as indicated by their first letter.)
– Uses conjunctive adverbs such as moreover, however, otherwise, therefore
– Independent clauses can also be joined by a semicolon (;)
– A comma may or may not be used before the conjunction

17. EXAMPLES
– I was active in class but my teacher ignored me.
– I took the test and I was happy with the result.
– The group lost the game yet they are not
affected.
– I gave her a flower, she smiled at me.

18. Complex Sentence
–Consists of one independent clause (main subject and
verb), and at least one dependent clause joined by
subordinating conjunction (because, although, since,
when, unless, whereas, even though, etc.) or relative
pronoun (that, who, which, etc.)

19. EXAMPLES
Adjective and adverb clauses are most often used.
– He saw the professor who had inspired the less privileged
students.
– He wrote books that are useful for college students.
– Kenneth can be the board top-notcher since he is a Magna
Cum Laude.

20. EXAMPLES
If a complex sentence begins with an independent clause, a comma is
not used between clauses. If a complex sentence begins with
dependent clause then a comma is used after a dependent clause.
- He is doing great in class although he has many absences.
- Although he has many absences, he is doing great in class.

21. Compound-Complex Sentence
–Consists of at least two independents and one
or more independent clauses
–Also sometimes called complex-compound
sentence.

22. EXAMPLES
– The salesman demonstrated how an LCD projector is operated, and the buyer waited
for the hands-on operation.
– We visited the university where I studied college and I took pictures of the buildings.
– Jerome excels in the college because he is an intelligent student, but he did not
graduate as Cum Laude.
In the first sentence, the compound sentence is “The salesman demonstrated, and the
buyer waited for the hands-on operation.” The subordinate clause is the noun clause
“how LCD projector is operated.” The noun clause is the direct object of the verb
demonstrated.
