The document outlines the four main types of sentences: simple, compound, complex, and compound-complex, each distinguished by their structural elements. Simple sentences contain a subject, verb, and complete thought, while compound sentences consist of two independent clauses linked by coordinating conjunctions. Complex sentences have an independent clause paired with one or more dependent clauses, and compound-complex sentences combine both independent and dependent clauses.
