Classification of Sentences by Number of Full Predication
1. Simple Sentences
The man stole Ani’s computer
Such sentences have only one full predication in the form of an independent clause.

2. Compound sentences
The man stole Ani’s computer and she hid it in her home.
Such sentences have two or more full predications in the form of independent clauses.

3. Complex sentences
The man who stole the computer hid it in her home
Such sentences also have two or more full predications. One of these is an independent clause (or,
main clause) that is similar to the form of the simple sentence, and one or more of these are
dependent clauses (or, subordinate clauses).

4. Compound-complex sentences
The man stole the jewelry and she hid it in her home until she could safely get out of town.
Compound-complex sentences contain two or more independent clauses and one or more dependent
clauses.
 Based on the internal structure of the main clause, sentence can be divided into:

1. Complete sentence

A complete sentence must begin with a capital letter, end with a punctuation mark, and
consist of at least one main clause.

 Based on the nature of the actor-action relationship, a sentence can be divided into
