subject you’ll have to rearrange the question into a statement, then ask WHO or WHAT does the action.

arrive to school.

Compound Subject - lesson 5

The Simple Sentence expresses ONE complete idea. (The dog ran outside.)

When a simple sentence has 2 or more subjects joined by a connecting word such as and/or, the subject is called COMPOUND SUBJECT.

* Where did Mary and Jo find that rabbit? * The boy or his brother will clean the mess.

Compound Predicate - lesson 6

When the simple sentence has 2 or more predicates joined by a connecting word such as and/or, it is called COMPOUND PREDICATE.

Babies cry, sleep, eat, and poop all day. My car drives fast and always breaks down. The doctor will visit the patients or will go to

surgery.

Combining Sentences – pp. 51-52

If different subjects are doing the same action, you can write a comp. subject sentence.EX: Ana is playing

soccer. The boys are

playing soccer.

If the same subject is doing several actions, you can write a comp. predicate sentence.EX: At home, he eats. At home, he

sleeps. At home, he

studies.

At home, he eats, sleeps, and studies.

The Complex Sentence…

is a sentence that contains TWO parts –

* an independent clause: a part of the sentence that CAN stand on its own.

* a subordinating (or dependent) clause: a part of the sentence that is LESS important because it CANNOT stand on its own.

Complex Sentence: When I go home, I take a shower.

Subordinating Clause:
