  1. Types of Sentences

  2. Independent Clause • Independent: contains a subject and verb and expresses a complete thought. • Jim studied in the Sweet Shop for his chemistry quiz.

  3. Dependent Clause • Dependent: contains a subject and verb but does not express a complete thought. • When Jim studied in the Sweet Shop for his chemistry quiz . . . (What happened when he studied? The thought is incomplete.) • Marked by dependent marker word: after, although, as, as if, because, before, even if, even though, if, in order to, since, though, unless, until, whatever, when, whenever, whether, and while.

  4. Simple Sentence • A simple sentence has a subject and a verb and completes a thought. • For example: • She went to the store. • (subject = she / verb = went)

  5. Compound Sentence • A compound sentence is made by joining two independent clauses together with a conjunction. • Compound sentences are often formed with these coordinating conjunctions: and, but, for, or, nor, yet, so, and ; (the semi-colon). • Some examples: • John bought some new shoes, and he wore them to a party. • Lydia liked her new house, but she didn't like the front yard. • We can go see a movie, or we can get something to eat.

  6. Complex Sentence • A complex sentence is made from an independent clause and a dependent clause joined together. • Complex sentences are often formed by putting these words at the beginning of the dependent clause: as, as if, before, after, because, though, even though, while, when, whenever, if, during, as soon as, as long as, since, until, unless, where, and wherever. These words are called subordinating conjunctions. • Some examples: • After I came home, I made dinner. • (dependent clause: "After I came home") • (indpendent clause: I made dinner) • We visited the museum before it closed. • (dependent clause: before it closed.) • (independent clause: We visited the museum)

  7. Compound Complex Sentence • Has two main clauses and at least one dependent clause. • A compound-complex sentence consists of a combination of a compound sentence and a complex sentence. • Although I like to go camping, I haven't had the time to go lately, and I haven't found anyone to go with. independent clause: "I haven't had the time to go lately" independent clause: "I haven't found anyone to go with" dependent clause: "Although I like to go camping...
