Types of sentence
There are four type of a sentence as far as the
structure of a sentence is concerned.
• Simple Sentence
• Compound Sentence
• Complex Sentence
• Compound-complex sentence
Clause
• A clause is a part of sentence with a subject and
predicate.
• If we divide a sentence in parts and each part
has a subject and verb then each part is a clause
Example:
• If you pray, God will help.
• She has lost her ornaments because she is
careless.
Simple Sentence
• A simple sentence has only one independent
clause.
Examples:
• He has a pen.
• I couldn’t do anything for you.
• I am happy.
• She cries.
Compound Sentence

• It has two or more independent clauses joined


together by coordinating conjunction
(FANBOYS)
• F= for, a=and, n=nor, b=but, o=or, y=yet, s=so
Examples:
• The girls sang, and the boys danced.
• It was not easy to come, yet he came to meet
us.
Compound Sentence
• I want to go to work, but I am tired.
• I am sitting, and he is happy?
Exercise:
• I like you I like Ali I don’t like Rahim
• He didn’t have books he couldn’t study
• I washed the clothes I came home
• I went to watch a movie named Justice
League the movie was already houseful
Complex Sentence
• It contains at least one independent clauses
and one dependent clause beginning with a
subordinating conjunction.
Example:
• When I reached home, I called him.
• If you meet me today, I will give you a book
and I will take a pen from you.
• John retired when he turned 65.
Compound-complex or Mixed sentence

• It contains multiple independent clauses and


at least one dependent clause.
• These sentences contain both coordinating-
conjunctions and subordinators.
• Structure:
sentence+ coordinators+ subordinating
conjunction
Mixed Sentence
Examples:
• Kate doesn’t like cartoons because they are
loud, so she doesn’t watch cartoon.
• The dog started barking so the cat ran away
and I couldn’t keep up, so I stopped.
• Usually I take a walk everyday while the sun
sets, but it was raining today.
Dependent/Independent
• An independent clause gives a complete
thought by itself. E.g. our planets revolve
around the sun.
• A dependent clause does not give a complete
sense. E.g.
• Who is intelligent…….?
• That is best seller………?
Transformation
 Sentences can be converted from one structure
to another :
• Hadia doesn’t like to eat chocolate.
• Hadia doesn’t like to eat chocolate, but she likes
to eat pancake.
• Hadia doesn’t like to eat chocolate because they
are sweet.
• Hadia doesn’t like to eat chocolate because they
are sweet, but she likes to eat pancake.
