TYPE OF SENTENCES

Simple Sentence:
A simple sentence contains one independent clause.
What’s an “independent clause”? It’s one subject followed by one verb or verb
phrase. It expresses a single idea. Examples:
 I‘m happy.
 Robert doesn’t eat meat.
 My brother and I went to the mall last night.
 This new laptop computer has already crashed twice.

Notice that a “simple sentence” isn’t necessarily short. The subject can be a single word
like “I” or “Robert,” or it can be a double subject like “my brother and I,” or it can be
multiple words describing a single person/object, like “This new laptop computer.”
COMPOUND SENTENCE
A compound sentence has two independent clauses joined by conjuction (and, but,
or, so, yet, however). Example:
I‘m happy, but my kids are always complaining.
This new laptop computer has already crashed twice, and I decide to buy the new ones.

COMPLEX SENTENCE
A complex sentence has one independent clause and one or more dependent
clauses.
A dependent clause cannot be a complete sentence by itself. Example:
He left in a hurry after he got a phone call.
Robert, a friend I’ve known since high school, doesn’t eat meat.
This new laptop computer, which I bought yesterday, has already crashed twice.
COMPOUND-COMPLEX SENTENCE

A compound-complex sentence contains 3 or more clauses: 2 independent and at least 1 dependent clause.

I’m happy, even though I don’t make much money, but my kids are always complaining since we can’t afford to buy

the newest toys.

Independent clauses: “I’m happy” and “my kids are always complaining”
Dependent clauses: “even though I don’t make much money” and “since we can’t afford to buy the newest toys”
Linking word: “but”
Robert, a friend I’ve known since high school, doesn’t eat meat – so Barbara made a special vegetarian dish for

him.

Independent clauses: “Robert doesn’t eat meat” and “Barbara made a special vegetarian dish for him”
Dependent clause: “a friend I’ve known since high school”
Linking word: “so”
This new laptop computer, which I bought yesterday, has already crashed twice; however, I have no idea why.

Independent clauses: “This new laptop computer has already crashed twice” and “I have no idea why”
Dependent clause: “which I bought yesterday”
Linking word: “however”
