What is a sentence?

• A sentence must contain both a subject and a verb and express a complete thought.

• A subject is who or what is doing the

action.

• The verb is the action. 

Clauses

• A main (independent) clause contains a subject and a verb and can stand alone.

e.g. Houston plays baseball.

• A subordinate (dependent) clause contains a subject and a verb, but is not a complete thought; it begins with a subordinating conjunction ( e.g. a linking word)

e.g. Because we won the game 

Simple Sentences

• A simple sentence is a basic sentence that expresses a complete thought. It contains:

1. A subject

2. A verb

3. A complete thought

e.g. The train was late.

Mary and Maggie took the bus. 

Compound Sentences

• A compound sentence contains two main clauses joined by a comma and a coordinating conjunction or a semi-colon.

• Compound sentences connect two simple sentences, but they often do not show a clear relationship between the two parts.

e.g. I waited for the bus, but it was late.

(both clauses are independent clauses)

Complex Sentences

• A complex sentence contains a main clause and one or more dependent clauses.

• If the dependent clause comes before the independent clause, add a comma after the dependent clause. If the main clause comes first, no comma is needed between the two.

• Complex sentences can show a more specific relationship between the parts of the sentence than a compound sentence.

Complex Sentence Examples

• Independent clause first:

We won the game because we worked together as a team.

• Dependent clause first:

Although I broke my arm, I still cheered for my team from the sidelines.

1. Our coach will host a pizza party when we win our first game.

4. Since I made the honour roll, my parents let me have a friend spend the night.

5. Before Alice called me, she called her mom, and her mom asked her to babysit her brother.
