Types of Sentence Structures<\/p>\n
A\u00a0simple sentence\u00a0consists of one independent clause. (An independent clause contains a subject and verb and expresses a complete thought.)
\nWrite your own examples of two simple sentences:
\n1.
\n2.
\nA compound sentence\u00a0is two (or more) independent clauses joined by a conjunction or semi-colon. Each of these clauses could form a sentence that stands alone. Common conjunctions are and, but or, nor, for, yet, and so. When joining two independent clauses, the conjunction has a comma before it.
\nThe boys mowed the lawn, and the girls weeded the flowerbeds.
\nWrite your own examples of two compound sentences:
\n1.
\n2.
\nDirections: In the following exercises, turn the sentence pairs into single compound sentences, each with a coordinating conjunction. You can rearrange or add words in the sentence to make it sound better.
\nThe coordinating conjunctions are “and”, “but”, “for”, “or”, “nor”, “yet”, or “so”. Example: Batman is a hero. He is successful in catching the criminals in his city. Batman is a hero, and he is successful in catching the criminals in his city.
\nThe black dog has won many prizes. He doesn’t know many tricks.<\/p>\n
I wanted to buy a baby Chihuahua. I started to save my money.<\/p>\n
Pam liked Wayne. Leena also liked Wayne.<\/p>\n
You can cry like a baby. You can clean your room like an adult.<\/p>\n
You can make a big poster. You can make a little clay statue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
