Types of Sentences Notes


Please go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98OcAe5O0Ws and follow along with the video
to fill out the notes below.
Simple Sentences can also be called an Independent Clause.
● They express a complete thought.
● Needs a subject and a verb.
● Example: I am.
● It can also have a compound subject and a compound verb.
● Example (compound subject): Mike and Bobby are caught by the police.
● Example (compound verb): Mike goes home and loses his “art supplies.”
Compound Sentences have two Independent Clauses.
● They are connected by “helper words,” which we call conjunctions.
● NOTE: You can also form a compound sentence WITHOUT using conjunctions
when you use a comma.
● Example: Bobby failed miserably to impress Lisa, yet he kept trying to impress
Megan, too.
Complex Sentences have one Independent Clause plus one or more Dependent (subordinate)
Clauses.
● Like we studied already with Adjective, Adverb, and Noun clauses, they can begin
with subordinate conjunctions or relative pronouns.
● Example: Mike took down his shrine to Suzie which took over a month to make;
Although Suzie thought Mike was sort of cute, she preferred someone who didn’t
literally worship her.
Now, please GOOGLE the last type of sentence, the Compound-Complex Sentence, and
give a definition and example below:
● Definition: has 2 independent clauses joined to one or more dependent clauses
● Example: Although I like to go camping, I haven’t had the time to go lately, and I
haven’t found anyone to go with.
