Simple, Compound, complex sentences

A simple sentence consists of a single independent clause that contains a subject and a predicate.

A compound sentence is made up of two or more independent clauses connected by coordinating conjunctions.

A complex sentence contains one independent clause and at least one dependent clause, often connected by subordinating conjunctions.

Coordinating conjunctions are words that connect words, phrases, or independent clauses. Common examples include 'and', 'but', and 'or'.

Subordinating conjunctions are words that connect an independent clause with a dependent clause. Examples include 'because', 'since', 'although', and 'while'.

The subject of a sentence is the person, place, thing, or idea that is doing or being something.

The predicate of a sentence tells what the subject does or is and includes the verb and any objects or modifiers.

Yes, a simple sentence can have a compound subject, which consists of two or more subjects joined by a conjunction.

An example of a compound sentence is: 'I wanted to go for a walk, but it started to rain.'

An example of a complex sentence is: 'Although it was raining, we decided to go for a walk.'
