7. Simple Sentence
A simple sentence, also called an
independent clause, contains a
subject and a verb, and it
expresses a complete thought.
Examples :
 He runs.
 Ali reads book.

8. Compound Sentence
A compound sentence contains two
independent clauses joined by a
coordinator (For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, So)
(Helpful hint: The first letter of each of the
coordinators spells FANBOYS.) Except for
very short sentences, coordinators are
always preceded by a comma.
Examples :
 Ali reads book ,but Ahmad reads novel.
 My friend gave me a lift ,because it was raining.

9. Complex Sentence
A complex sentence has an independent
clause joined by one or more dependent
clauses. A complex sentence always has a
subordinator (Because, Since, After, Although,
When and many others) or a relative pronoun
(That, Who, Which).
Examples :
 There are dreams ,that cannot die.
 Although my friend invited me to a party, I do
not want to go.

10. Compound complex Sentence
A complex-compound sentence is made from
two independent clauses and one or more
dependent clauses.
Examples :
 After Ali eats breakfast, he goes to work
or he goes shopping.
 While Ali reads a book, he listens to the
radio and he eats potato chips.
