There are four types of sentence those are:


a. Simple Sentence Structure is one independent clause that has a subject and a verb and
expresses a complete thought.
Example:

1) Joe went to the store.


2) Sarah and Jessie are going swimming.
3) The frog jumped and landed in the pond.
4) Can I have some juice to drink?
5) The pizza smells delicious.
6) There is a fly in the car with us.

b. Compound Sentence Structure is made of two simple sentences joined by a conjunction.


Example:

1) Sarah walked to class, but Kevin ran.


2) I want hamburgers, but Lois wants pizza.
3) The photographer held up a bear, and the little boy smiled.
4) I fell out of the bed, so Mom came to check on me.
5) The dog buried his bone, and the cat sniffed around it.
6) I was late; however, the class had not started.

c. Complex Sentence Structure is made of a simple sentence and a dependent, or


subordinate, clause (has a subjec and a verb but does not express a complete thoungh.)
Example:

1) When I said go to the store, I wanted you to get some milk.


2) We were late to the party because John could not find his shoes.
3) Before you go to bed, brush your teeth.
4) I will help with your homework if you teach me how to play guitar.
5) I want to check out the book that Marie read last week.
6) Lois and Jan live in the house where the big tree with a swing is in the front
yard.
d. Compound-Complex Sentence Structure is made up of more than one sentence joined
by a conjunction, and at least one of those sentence is complex. In other words, it is a
compound sentence with a dependent, or subordinate clause.
Examples:

1) When I grow up, I want to be a ballerina, and my mom is proud of me.


2) I will get to watch television, but first, I have to clean up the dishes after we
finish eating.
3) We won the game, but my uniform was muddy because it rained the entire
time.
4) After our trip to the beach, school started back, and I was excited to see my
friends.
5) Sarah cried when her cat got sick, but he soon got better.
6) The sun is shining through the clouds, so I think that we can go swimming.

2. Sentence have four different purpose those are:


a. A declarative sentence is a sentence that makes a statement or gives information. This is
different from the other types, which form questions, exclamations, or state a
command.
Example:
1) Jessica is going to play the part of Juliet in the school play next month.
2) Mrs. Jones gives us a test every Friday over what we have learned that week.
3) Dolphins communicate with each other through echolocation.

b. An interrogative sentence is a sentence that masks a question. The word "interrogate"


means to ask questions.
Example:
1) Who left their shoes in the middle of the hallway?
2) Are you planning to go to the dance on Saturday?
3) Will Mrs. Hall give us a quiz over our spelling words today?

c. An exclamatory sentence or exclamation, is a more forceful version of declarative


sentence. In other words, an exclamatory sentence makes a statement (just like a
declarative sentence), but it also conveys excitement or emotion.
Example:
1) You were meant to be back yesterday! (expresses anger)
2) This puzzle is driving me up the wall! (expresses frustration)
3) You're adorable! (expresses love)

d. An imperative sentence is a sentence which is used to convey a command, a request, or


a forbiddance is called an imperative sentence. This type of sentence always takes the
second person (you) for the subject but most of the time the subject remains hidden.
Example:
1) Bring me a glass of water.
1) Don’t ever touch my phone.
2) Give me a pen and a pencil.
