LESSON OBJECTIVES:

1. Identify what is the structure of the given


sentences.
2. Group the sentences according to their
structure.
Types of Sentence Structures

The four basic sentence structures are the:

1. Simple: A sentence with only one independent clause.

One Subject and One Verb

Simple sentences have one subject and one verb or predicate.


Some of these have a direct object or a modifier, but they still only
have one subject and one verb. If you need to brush up on these
parts of speech, read up on Understanding Subjects, Predicates,
and Objects. The following examples show how this works:

 The cat stretched.


 Jacob stood on his tiptoes.
 The car turned the corner.
 Kelly twirled in circles.
 She opened the door.
 Aaron made a picture.
 I'm sorry.
 I danced.

2. Compound:

Compound Subject and One Verb

You'll also see simple sentences with a compound subject and


one verb. In this case, the subjects are joined by a conjunction like
"and" and are all performing the action described in the verb. There
may be modifiers and direct objects here as well, as you'll see in
some of these examples:
 Mary doesn’t like cartoons because Two (or more) simple
sentences joined by a conjunction or an appropriate mark of
punctuation.they are loud, so she doesn’t watch them.
 We went to the mall; however, we only went window-
shopping.
 The girls were painting animal pictures, and Katrina spilled
the paint.
 Your children are older, so they probably wouldn’t be scared.
 They wanted to go to Paris, but I wanted to see London.
 Mary doesn’t like cartoons because they are loud, so she
doesn’t watch them.
 She is very smart, and she knows it
 I have often wanted to swim, but I can’t get my wife to go
swimming.
 I spent all my savings, so I can’t go to France this winter.
 I want to lose weight, yet I eat chocolate daily.

3. Complex: A sentence that contains an independent


clause (or main clause) and at least one dependent clause.

Examples:

 Because my coffee was too cold, I heated it in the microwave.


 Although he was wealthy, he was still unhappy.
 She returned the computer after she noticed it was damaged.
 Whenever prices goes up, customers buy less products.
 Because I had to catch the train, and as we were short on
time, I forgot to pack my toothbrush for our vacation.

4. Compound-complex: A sentence with two or


more independent clauses and at least one dependent clause.

Examples:
 The bird was sitting on his perch and he was happily eating
his food, but then he fell.
 The car was stuck in the mud for a long time, much to my
dismay, and the rain just kept falling.
 The store carries lots of grocery types of items and it has other
services because it is the only store in the small town.

In these examples, the dependent, or subordinate, clause is


underlined:
 When I grow up, I want to be a ballerina, and my mom is
proud of me.
 I will get to watch television, but first, I have to clean up the
dishes after we finish eating.
 We won the game, but my uniform was muddy because it
rained the entire time.
 After our trip to the beach, school started back, and I was
excited to see my friends.
 Sarah cried when her cat got sick, but he soon got better.
 The sun is shining through the clouds, so I think that we can
go swimming.
