Simple, Complex, and Compound

The sentence which introduce the structure of a sentence is called structural sentence.
It is of 3 kinds.
1. Simple Sentence
2. Complex sentence
3. Compound sentence
(a) Simple sentence : A sentence which has a subject , a finite verb and an object is
called a Simple Sentence.
*Example: I go to school
*Structure: subject + finite verb+ object.
(b) Complex Sentence : A sentence which has two or three clauses of which there is a
Principle clause and the other clauses are subordinate clauses and all the sentences
are connected with connecting word is called a Complex Sentence.
* Example: It started raining when I was about to go out.
* Structure: Principle Clause + connecting word + subordinate clause. (In this
sentence ‘It started raining’  is a principle clause, ‘when’ is connecting word and ‘I
was about to go out’ is subordinate clause)
** In a Complex sentence Subordinate clause is always dependent on Principle
clause to express a full sentence.
(c) Compound sentence: A sentence which has two or three clauses of which all are
Principle clauses and are connecting to each other with connecting word is called a
compound sentence.
* Example: It is raining and I am going out with my umbrella.
* Structure: Principle clause + connecting word + Principle clause
