Simple, Compound and Complex Sentences
1. Simple Sentences-Simple sentences have one verb.
Examples:
The man walked home.
The tall man with a beard walked home in the pouring rain.
2. Compound Sentences-Compound sentences have two verbs and are joined together by a
conjunction ( like but, so, or, and ), both parts of the sentence make sense on their own.
Examples:
The dog barked and it woke the baby.
I opened the door so she could come inside.
3. Complex Sentences-Complex sentences can have more than one verb. They usually have
conjunctions like, if, when, because, whenever etc. They have a main clause and
subordinate clause. The subordinate clause cannot work without the main clause.
Examples:
The baby woke up when the doorbell rang.
I can't help you if you can't tell me what's wrong.
