Kinds of Sentences
Simple Sentence: Simple sentences have one independent clause containing one subject and
one predicate.
Example: Ali is reading his favourite novel.
The cat purrs loudly.
Compound sentence: A compound sentence is a sentence that contains two or more
independent clauses joined together by coordinating conjunctions or correlative
conjunctions. Each clause in a compound sentence stands alone as a complete sentence.
Example: I went to the market and I bought a dress for myself.
I ate pizza but I didn’t like the taste.
Complex Sentence: A complex sentence typically consists of one independent clause (which
can stand alone as a sentence) and one or more dependent clauses (which cannot stand
alone as sentences) and they are joined together with the help of subordinating
conjunctions. The dependent clauses in a complex sentence serve to provide additional
information or context to the main independent clause.
Examples: Although it was raining, they decided to go for a walk.
We had our dinner, after the movie ended.
Compound-Complex Sentence: A compound-complex sentence is a sentence that contains
at least two independent clauses (compound) joined together by coordinating conjunctions
and one or more dependent clauses (complex) joined together by subordinating
conjunctions or relative pronouns.
Examples: After I finish my homework, I will go to the gym and my brother will meet me
there.
Although it was raining, we decided to go for a walk, but we took umbrellas with
us.
