Simple sentence

• 1 subject, 1 verb, and a complete thought.

'Grace opened the door.'

'The table and chairs needed to be cleaned.'

Also known as Independent clauses.

Simple sentences

A simple sentence does not have linking words:

Poppy sat on the beach.

She was eating a big ice cream. 

The boys splashed in the sea.

It was too cold to stay in long.

Compound sentences.

Two or more independent clauses (simple sentences) joined together by coordinating conjunctions.

'grace opened the door. She looked outside.'

'Grace opened the door and she looked outside.'

compound sentences

Compound sentences join two simple sentences with one of these linking words:

for, and, nor, but, or yet, so (Fanboys)

Poppy sat on the beach and she was eating a big ice cream. 

The boys splashed in the sea but it was too cold to stay in long. 

Compound sentences with fanboys.

I am good at swimming but I don't like it.

It was raining so I took an umbrella.

It was late yet I wasn't tired.

I have not met Steve, nor have I met Suzan.

For

And

Nor

But

Or

Yet

So

Complex sentences.

An independent clause (simple sentence) +

a dependent clause.

'When he won the race, everyone cheered.'

A dependent clause is not a completed thought.

'When he won the race, everyone cheered.'

Complex sentences

A complex sentence uses a dependent clause to add extra detail. The two clauses are joined together with one of these linking words:

Because, although, after, when, before.

Poppy had been eating a big ice cream, before she sat on the beach.

Although it was too cold to stay in long, the boys were splashing in the sea.

Complex sentences.

Because I have saved up,  I can buy a bike.

I can buy a bike because I have saved up.
