    This document defines the different types of sentences and clauses. It explains that a sentence communicates through statements, commands, exclamations, or questions. A sentence contains one or more clauses, and a clause must have a subject and verb. There are two types of clauses - independent clauses that form a complete thought and can stand alone, and dependent clauses that are incomplete thoughts and cannot stand alone. The four types of sentences are simple with one independent clause, compound with two independent clauses joined by a conjunction, complex with an independent clause and dependent clause, and compound-complex with one or more of each.
