Kinds of

Sentences

According to Structure

On the basis of numbers of clause and types of clauses present in a sentence, sentences are divided in to four kinds.

a. Simple Sentence

b. Compound Sentence

c. Complex Sentence

d. Complex-compund Sentence

What are their differences?

a. Simple Sentence

A simple sentence consists of only one independent clause containing a subject and a verb and it expresses complete thought.

There is no dependent clause.

An independent clause (also called main clause) is called a simple sentence.

Examples of simple sentence

Grey

.

is ours.

You

She

is working on his project.

will not be coming.

That house

are so cool.

These yellow ones are the

SUBJECTS

These blue ones are the

PREDICATES

B. COMPOUND SENTENCEA compound sentence consists of at least two independent clauses joined by coordinating conjunctions.

There is no dependent clause in compound sentence.

Independent clauses can also be joined by a semicolon (;).

A comma may or may not be used before the conjunction in compound sentence.

some

coordinating

conjunctions

are:

for, and,

nor, but, or,

yet, so

Examples:

I like an apple

I helped him

He failed two times

I asked him a question

but my brother likes a mango.

and he became happy.

yet he is not disappointed.

; he replied correctly.

Sentences are

separated by

coordinating

conjuctions

C. COMPLEX SENTENCE A complex sentence consists of

one independent clause and at least one dependent clause joined by subordinating conjunction or relative pronoun.

that, who, which, whose, whom etc.

because, although, since, when, unless etc.

You can’t pass the test unless you study for it.

Examples:

I met the boy who had helped me.

She is wearing a shirt which looks nice.

If a complex sentence begins with an independent clause, a comma is not used between clauses in a complex sentence.

If a complex sentence begins with dependent clause then a comma is use after dependent clause in a complex sentence.

Examples:

He is playing well although he is ill.

Although he is ill, he is playing well.

D. COMPLEX - COMPOUND SENTENCE

A complex-compound sentence consists of at least two independents and one or more dependent clauses.

It is also sometimes called compound-complex Sentence.

Examples:

He went to college and I went to a market where I bought a book.

I like Mathematics but my bother likes Biologybecause he wants to be a doctor.

In the first sentence of above, there are twoindependent clauses-“he went to college” and “Iwent to a market”, and one dependent clause“where I bought a book”.
