SIMPLE SENTENCES
SIMPLE SENTENCES
An independent clause (or main clause) stands by itself as a simple sentence. No additional information is needed for the sentence to be grammatically correct.

COMPOUND SENTENCES
COMPOUND SENTENCES
An independent clause can be combined with another independent clause by using a coordinating conjunction (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so) to form a compound sentence.

COMPLEX SENTENCES
COMPLEX SENTENCES
A dependent clause starts with a subordinating conjunction (because, that, if) and cannot stand alone in the sentence. One or two dependent clauses combined with an independent clause form a complex sentence.
