 By studying this module, you will be able to recognize different kinds of
sentences and learn to use them appropriately and meaningfully.
As a high school student, you are now expected to speak and write
longer and more detailed sentences. Your sentences must be in varied
lengths and forms so that you will not sound boring. This module will help you
write and speak these kinds of sentences.

I. Read the sentences below. Underline the word/words inside the

parenthesis that would complete the thought of each sentence.
1. A (phrase, sentence) is a word or group of words with subject and verb
that expresses a complete thought.
2. An (independent, dependent) clause cannot stand alone as a
sentence.
3. A (noun, predicate) is the part of a sentence that tells about the
subject.
4. (Compound, Complex) sentence consists of an independent clause
and a dependent clause.
5. A (complex, simple) sentence consists of one independent clause.
6. The (predicate, subject) is the part that is talked about in a sentence.
7. (Simple, Compound) sentence has two or more independent clauses
joined by conjunction or semi-colon.
8. A clause that can stand alone as a sentence is (dependent,
independent) clause.
9. A (conjunction, adjective) is a word that connects clauses to make
sentences.
10. The two parts of the sentence is the subject and the predicate or (noun,
verb).

1
II. Read the following sentences. Tell whether it is a simple, compound or
complex sentence. Write your answer on the space provided.

_______________ 1. Aklan is a peaceful province.

 Filipinos named as the most emotional people in the world

Gallup conducted a survey last 2012 to reveal how people feel about

their lives. The survey asked questions about positive and negative emotions

such as happiness, pain, sadness, and anger. Out of 140 countries, the

Philippines emerged as the most emotional country in the world.

The Philippines is a beautiful country rich in resources, but it is also

facing a lot of problems such as corruption and poverty. Being emotional

enables Filipinos to be more resilient especially when facing difficult

situations. When placed in a trying circumstance, it is a gift to be able to find

joy in simple things. Filipinos feel emotions strongly, thus, giving rise to

telenovelas. While some might think of it as a bad thing, these kinds of shows

give a brief respite from everyday troubles because people can feel the

emotions of the character they are watching and forget about their own

problems.

Filipinos can also create beautiful music and art work because they are

in touch with their emotions. Strong emotions such as happiness or sadness

can be a source of inspiration to produce profound works of art.

Being emotional can also help the country’s economy. Filipinos are a

generally happy people. They are quick to smile and are welcoming to

visitors. The Department of Tourism’s slogan “It’s More Fun in the Philippines”

reflects the attitude of the people living in this country. This is good for the

country because the Filipinos’ warm attitude attracts more tourists.

3
 What have you noticed of the sentences used in each passage? Most

of the sentences are long and complicated. There is more than one idea

expressed in most of the sentences. Let’s find out how the ideas are formed

in just one sentence.

Let’s look at the reading text again. Take focus on these groups of

words.

S V
1. Filipinos are a generally happy people.
S V V
2. They are quick to smile and are welcoming to visitors.

The group of words above are called sentences because they contain

a subject and a verb. You have learned in our previous lessons that a

sentence is a word or group of words that expresses a complete thought or

idea, and that it has two parts: the subject (talked about in a sentence) and

the verb or predicate (tells about the subject).

In the sentences above, the “Filipinos” and “They” are the subjects

because something is said about them and the complete predicates are “are

a generally happy people” which tells about Filipinos and the “are quick to

smile and are welcoming to visitors” tells about the subject, “They”. These two

sentences are examples of a simple sentence.

The given examples above are very simple and short. Now study this

sentence.
S V
“Being emotional enables Filipinos to be more resilient especially when

facing difficult situation.”

4
 The sentence above is still a simple sentence though it is longer than

the previous examples. What makes it longer are the phrases added to the

sentence. It is a simple sentence because it consists of one independent

clause. Let’s take another look at the following examples.

S V
Example: 1. Mary is Jesus’ mother.
S S V
2. Mary and Joseph took care of their Son.
S V V
3. We should believe and obey God.

All the given examples are simple sentences, but they vary in lengths

and forms.

What then is a simple sentence? A simple sentence is one type of a

sentence according to structure or form. It is composed of only one

independent clause. Take note that a subject could be only one or more than

one (compound).

Let’s take a look at sentence patterns of the sample sentences.

1. S-V one subject, one predicate

(one independent clause)

2. S, S-V compound subject, simple predicate

(one independent clause)

3. S-V, V simple subject, compound predicate

(one independent clause)

So, a simple sentence may contain one or more subjects and one or

more predicates, but contains only one idea or one independent clause.

Another type of a sentence is compound. A compound sentence

consists of two ideas or two independent clauses. Its subject and predicate

may be single or compound.

5
 S V S V
Example: V 1. Mary is Jesus’ mother and Joseph is His father.
S

V 2. Mary and Joseph took care of Jesus, but Jesus left them

and served others.

Study the patterns of the sample sentences.

1. S-V, S-V single/one subject, one predicate, single subject,

single predicate (two independent clauses)

2. S, S-V, S-V, V compound subject-single predicate, single

subject-compound predicate

(two independent clauses)

Be reminded that a compound sentence always contains two or more

independent clauses, and the subject and predicate could be one or more.
S V
Look at this sentence: “The Philippines is a beautiful country rich in
SV
resources, but it is also facing a lot of problems such as corruption and

poverty.”

In the sentence above, there are two pairs of subject and verb. It

means that there are two related ideas that could be combined into one

sentence.

Notice also that the two independent clauses in the examples given are

joined by coordinating conjunctions, “and” and “but”.

Coordinating conjunctions are connectors used to connect two or more

independent clauses. Other coordinating conjunctions are for, nor, or, yet, and

so. A semi-colon (;) could also be used to combine two related independent

clauses.

6
Examples:

1. Sarah Geronimo can sing. She can dance too.

These two simple sentences can be joined by “and” making it a compound

sentence.

Compound: Sarah Geronimo can sing, and she can dance too.

2. Coco Martin can act very well. He can’t dance and sing well.

Compound: Coco Martin can act very well, but he can’t dance and sing well.

Read the given sentences again. Look at how they are written. The

compound sentences were made by combining the two simple sentences

using coordinating conjunctions and and but together with a comma.

Notice also that the ideas expressed in the first sentence are similar or

parallel in meaning so the conjunction and is used. But in the second

sentence, the ideas contrast so the conjunction but is used.

Compound sentences could also be written by using a semicolon.

Example: Sarah Geronimo can sing; she can dance too.

It is therefore important to remember that when you combine two or

more ideas, you must choose the proper and appropriate connector or

conjunction. By doing so, you make your sentences proper, meaningful and

easy to understand.

7
Additional examples of compound sentences.

IC IC
1. Do you want to stay, or you want me to leave?
IC IC IC
2. I have run the race; I have finished the course, and I survived.
IC IC IC
3. Danny read the module, and he finished it in one hour, so he took a

nap.
IC IC
4. She did not cheat on the test in this module, for it was the wrong thing

to do.
IC IC
5. He doesn’t like to gain weight, yet he eats a lot.

Now, we proceed to another form of a sentence. It is called complex

sentence. A complex sentence has one independent clause and at least one

dependent clause.

In the previous lesson, you studied about clauses. You learned about

dependent or subordinate clause and independent or main clause. So, it is

now easy for you to understand what a complex sentence is.

Study this sentence.

DC IC
“If you study this module very well, you could understand the lesson.”

There are two ideas in this sentence. The first one is “If you study this

module very well”, and the second is “you could understand the lesson”. The

thought of the sentence is showing condition so the appropriate

subordinating conjunction to be used is if.

While a compound sentence uses coordinating conjunctions, a

complex sentence uses subordinating conjunction. The most commonly used

are although, after, before, because, since, so that, if, until, when and while.

8
 Examples:

IC DC
1. Eat before you go. (one independent clause, one dependent clause)
IC DC DC
2. I won’t stop until I find a job because I need to survive. (one

independent clause, two dependent clause)

Relative clause can also be combined with independent clause to

make a complex sentence.
Examples:
1. The artist whom I like the most is Sarah G.

2. The lady who entertained me was the celebrator.

Take note of how a complex sentence is formed using the relative

clause.

In the first and third examples, the dependent or relative clause is

placed between the subject and the predicate of the independent clause.

In the second example, the relative clause is not separated. It is written

as one complete clause.

Keep in mind that in making complex sentences, you must be careful in

forming ideas using connectors. You should also use the appropriate

conjunction. So that you give the correct and proper message.

Be reminded of these key points:

Types of Sentence According to Form or Structure

Simple Sentence Compound Sentence Complex Sentence

one independent clause

one independent at least two or more
and one or more
clause independent clause
dependent clause

(S-V) (S-V+S-V) (S-V+S-V)

IC IC + IC IC + DC

(S-V+S-V+S-V) (S-V+S-V+S-V)

IC + IC + IC IC + DC + DC

 Use coordinating conjunctions (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so) and a
comma when connecting two or more independent clauses (simple
sentences) or a semicolon (;) to make a compound sentence.
 Use subordinating conjunctions when combining one independent
clause with one or more dependent clauses to make a complex
sentence.
 Always consider the meaning or relationship of the ideas to be
combined in order to use the proper conjunction in expressing an
appropriate and meaningful sentence.
