Compound Sentnce

A compound sentence contains two or more


simple sentences. Each simple sentence in a
compound sentence is called a main clause.
A clause contains a subject and a predicate.
EX. Karen hurried, but Emil walked slowly.
(two main clauses joined by a conjunction)
Complex Sentence
A complex sentence has one main clause and
one or more subordinate clauses—clauses
that cannot stand alone.
Karen hurried because she was late. (main
clause and subordinate clause introduced by
subordinating conjunction because.)
Run-on Sentence
A run-on sentence is two or more sentences incorrectly
written as one. To correct a run-on, write it as two
sentences, or join the clauses with a comma and a
conjunction.
Examples:

1. The power went out, we could not find


a working flashlight. (run-on)
- The power went out. We could not find
a working flashlight. (sentences)

2. She left to go to Mia’s house they are working on


a project together. (run-on)

working on a project together. (sentences)
