Sentence
Definition :
A sentence is group of words that (a) contains at least one subject and one verb (b) express a
complete thought
 In general English grammar, there are 4 types of sentence: ( structurally )
1. A simple sentence
2. A compound sentence
3. A complex sentence
4. A compound – complex sentence
1. Simple sentence
A simple sentence has the most basic elements that make it a sentence: a subject + verb +
completed thought.
Examples of simple sentences include the following:
● SV = I come.
● SVO = My brother read my newspaper.
● SVC = I am sad.
● SVA = The student came late today.
● SVOO = I will bring you a book.
● SVOC = He makes me happy.
● SVOA =I took it easy.
The use of compound subjects, compound verbs, prepositional phrases (such as "at the
bus station"), and other elements help lengthen simple sentences.
Example:
1. Mary and Samantha arrived at the bus station early but waited until noon for the bus.
"Mary and Samantha" = compound subject, "arrived" and "waited" = compound verb
2. Compound sentence
Are made up of at least two independent clauses expressing closely related ideas of equal
or similar importance that are joined using a comma and a conjunction or just a semicolon.
There are seven coordinating conjunctions in English, which can be remembered using
the acronym FANBOYS:
 For
 And
 Nor
 But
 Or
 Yet
 So
Coordinating Conjunction Example
For joins the sentences that are explain reason I have a find a new job, for I am unemployed.
or purpose (just like : because)
And joins sentences that are alike He got a bad grade, and immediately made
corrections.
Nor joins sentences that are used to present an Neither my parents, nor my friends supported me.
alternative negative idea to an already stated
negative idea
But joins sentences that are opposite or show She wanted to play jump rope, but
contrast he wanted to play soccer.
Or joins sentences that give choices We can meet at home, or we can go to the mall.
Yet joins sentences that are introduces a He says nice words, yet you don’t trust him.
contrasting idea that follows the preceding
idea logically
So joins sentences when the second sentence Today is Indonesia's Independence Day, so the school
expresses the result of something described in Held a flag caremony.
the first sentence
Coordinating conjunctions are useful for connecting sentences, but compound sentences
often are overused. While coordinating conjunctions can indicate some type of relationship
between the two independent clauses in the sentence, they sometimes do not indicate much of a
relationship. The word "and," for example, only adds one independent clause to another, without
indicating how the two parts of a sentence are logically related.
Use a comma before coordinating conjunction in Compound Sentence only. Do not use a
comma to join two words or two phrases in a simple sentence.
For example :
• Today we go to the fishing rod, but we can't fish.

• Today we go to the fishing rod but can’t fish .
• This playground is very crowded and it is very fun here.
• This playground is very crowded and very fun.
3. Complex sentence
A complex sentence is made up of an independent clause and one or more dependent
clauses connected to it. A dependent clause is similar to an independent clause, or complete
sentence, but it lacks one of the elements that would make it a complete sentence.
We use complex sentences to indicate a specific relationship between two ideas, and to
clarify which of the two is more important. Consider the following example:
 “I went to the supermarket. We were out of milk.” Although the reader can probably
guess that the relationship between the two ideas above is one of cause and effect, that
relationship could be specified by combining the two ideas into a complex sentence
instead, as in:
 “I went to the supermarket because we were out of milk.” By adding the subordinating
conjunction “because,” we have transformed the previously independent clause “we were
out of milk” into a dependent clause. It can no longer stand alone, but is dependent on the
clause that it is now linked to. The relationship between the two ideas is now perfectly
clear, and the importance of the independent clause “I went to the supermarket” is
highlighted.
Dependent clauses begin with subordinating conjunctions. Below are some of the most
common subordinating conjunctions:
 And
 Because
 Thought
 After
 When
 Even if
 Once
 Whenever
 While
 As long as
 If
 since
A subordinating conjunction is a word that connects and independent clause to a dependent

clause.
 Her office is far, and she has to walk  Once you see her, you will recognize
for minutes. her.
 I’m staying in because it’s snowing.  I’m embarrassed whenever I think
about it.
 Thought I’m flexible, I draw the line  I read it while you wear drying your
about that. hair.
 After day pass the town, they must turn  You can have a dog as long as you
to the left. promise to take care of it.
 I meet them when we were in Paris.  If you find out, please let me know
 Even if the sky is falling down, you’ll  I guest I’ll never be the same since i
be my only. feel for you.
The order of the independent and dependent clause in a complex sentence is flexible. We can
structure complex sentences with the independent clause first, as in:
 “He’s going to pass his test even if he doesn’t study.”
 “I watched a movie while my friend was shopping.”
 “I will go as long as you go with me.”
The same sentences can be structured with the dependent clause first as well. This results in
no change of meaning. For example:
 “Even if he doesn’t study, he’s going to pass his test.”
 “While my friend was shopping, I watched a movie.”
 “As long as you go with me, I will go.”
4. Compound – complex Sentence

In simple terms, the meaning of a complex sentence is a compound sentence consisting of
two independent clauses and one or more dependent clauses. Combined sentences are
combined sentences of compound sentences and complex sentences.
In a compound-complex sentence, we join the complex independent clause to the other
independent clause in the same way as for normal compound sentences: with coordinating
conjunctions, correlative conjunctions, conjunctive adverbs, or semicolons. Take, for example,
these two separate sentences:
 “Because I love to read, I like to visit the library. I enjoy going to book stores, too.”
The first sentence is a complex sentence (the dependent clause is italicized); the
second one is a standard independent clause. Now let’s make them into a complex-
compound sentence:
 “Because I love to read, I like to visit the library, and I enjoy going to book stores,
too.” (coordinating conjunction)
 “Because I love to read, not only do I like to visit the library, but I also enjoy going
to book stores, too.” (correlative conjunction)
 “Because I love to read, I like to visit the library; additionally, I enjoy 982 going to
book stores.” (conjunctive adverb).
