Below is our school Grammar Glossary which explains what each key term means.

Sentences can be structured in different ways.

A simple sentence has a subject and ONLY ONE verb:

The girl sprinted after the tiger.

The cat purred.

A compound sentence is formed when you join two main clauses with a connective:

I like bananas and I like grapes.

Zoe can be rude at times but she is a nice girl.

Complex sentences can also be referred to as multi-clause sentences.

A complex sentence is formed when you join a main clause and a subordinate clause with a connective. A subordinate clause is one that relies on a main clause to make sense.

I love chocolate ice-cream, but I would never choose vanilla.

You need to prepare for the spelling test tomorrow if you want to get all your spellings right.

The big dog barked when I arrived.
