SENTENCE TYPES
SIMPLE SENTENCES
COMPOUND SENTENCES
COMPLEX SENTENCES
All sentences can be classified
according to the number and
kinds of clauses they contain.
The three basic types of sentence
structures are:
SIMPLE, COMPOUND, and
COMPLEX
Important:
A CLAUSE IS A GROUP OF WORDS
WITH ITS OWN SUBJECT AND VERB.
AN INDEPENDENT CLAUSE IS A
COMPLETE SENTENCE THAT CAN
STAND ALONE.
A DEPENDENT CLAUSE (subordinate
clause) DOES NOT MAKE SENSE BY
ITSELF. (CANNOT STAND ALONE)
A SIMPLE SENTENCE:
Is the most common type of sentence
structure.
It is ONE
independent clause.
A SIMPLE SENTENCE CAN
HAVE:
ONE SUBJECT AND ONE VERB
Marty looked at the ring.
TWO SUBJECTS AND ONE
VERB.
Marty and Joel looked at the ring.
A SIMPLE SENTENCE CAN
ALSO HAVE:
ONE SUBJECT AND TWO
VERBS.

the stage.
OR . . .
IT MIGHT HAVE TWO
SUBJECTS AND TWO VERBS!

A SIMPLE SENTENCE CAN BE:
SV (ONE SUBJECT/ONE VERB)
SSV (TWO SUBJECTS/ONE VERB)
SVV (ONE SUBJECT/ TWO VERBS)
SSVV (TWO SUBJECTS/TWO VERBS)
And. . .Since a simple sentence is
one independent clause:
SV=I
