    Simple Sentences
     subject, a verb, and a completed thought. It is also called as an independent
    clause. 

    EX Joe waited for the train.


    "Joe" = subject, "waited" = verb

    2. Compound Sentences
    A compound sentence refers to a sentence made up of two independent clauses
    (or complete sentences) connected to one another with a coordinating
    conjunction.  think of the words "FAN BOYS":

    For And Nor But Or Yet So

    EX. Joe waited for the train, but the train was late.

    3. Complex Sentences

    A complex sentence is made up of an independent clause and one or


    more dependent clauses connected to it

    dependent clauses :  Contains a subject and verb but does not express a
    complete thought, its can not to be a cannot be a sentence. Dependent clauses
    such as those above cannot stand alone as a sentence, but they can be added
    to an independent clause to form a complex sentence.

     It begins with subordinating conjunctions, After, although ,as, because


    ,before ,even though ,if ,since ,though ,unless ,until ,when ,whenever
    ,whereas ,wherever ,while

    Tips:- When the dependent clause comes first, a comma should be


    used to separate the two clauses.______ When the independent clause
    comes first, a comma should not be used to separate the two clauses.

    Ex. Tip-1 Because Mary and Samantha arrived at the bus station before noon,
    I did not see them at the station. Tip-2 I did not see them at the station because
    Mary and Samantha arrived at the bus station before noon.
