WRITING PROJECT

TYPES OF SENTENCES
Remember that a simple sentence expresses only one complete thought
and has only subject and a predicate in the sentence.
A complex sentence always has a connector (such as because, since,
after, though, or when) or a relative pronoun (such as that, who, or
which). Don’t use commas before the conjunction in these sentences.
A compound sentence contains two independent clauses joined by a
conjunction such as and, but, or, yet, or so. Use a comma before the
conjunction and restart with the subject.
Identify whether the following sentences are simple, complex, or compound. Circle the conjunction that is
joining the clauses in the complex and compound sentences.
1. Jerry raced his bike up the hill.    
a. simple    b. complex    c. compound

- Either at the beginning or in the middle: despite, in spite of, although,
