?What is a sentence

Sentences are made up of clauses: groups of words that express a single idea. There are
two types of clauses: independent clauses and dependent clauses. 

Independent clauses means a clause that can stand alone and carry meaning(s)

e.g. Lissie and Joa eat pizza every morning.

Sentence Identification:
- Independent clause

e.g. Lissie dances beautifully

Sentence Identification
- Independent clause

Dependent Clauses means a clause that cannot stand alone and carry meaning(s)

One signal of dependent clause is “conjunction” (when, as soon as, until, unless, etc)

e.g when it is raining, I drink hot chocolate

Sentence Identification:
- Dependent clause

Types of Sentences
Simple sentences consist of just one independent clause. It requires only one
punctuation mark at the end (a period, exclamation or question mark).

The bell didn't ring on time.

My father is a hero.

Compound sentences are made by joining simple sentences. We join sentences which
are closely related in content. We can join simple sentences with a comma and a word
such as: and, but, so, yet.

The bell didn't ring on time, so we missed the lecture.

I am going to meet my friend, but it is raining now.
