Example: • He is a boy. • Ali goes to school. • I don’t know him. • Go! 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.
