This document discusses different types of sentences in English. It defines a sentence as containing a subject and predicate. There are three main types of sentences: simple sentences which contain one independent clause; compound sentences which contain two independent clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction; and complex sentences which contain an independent clause and one or more dependent clauses. Examples are provided for each sentence type.

TYPE OF SENTENCES Compound Sentences A compound sentence refers to a sentence made up of two independent clauses (or complete sentences) connected to one another with a coordinating conjunction. Coordinating conjunctions are easy to remember if you think of the words "FAN BOYS. Example of a compound sentence Joe waited for the train, but the train was late.
TYPE OF SENTENCES 3. Complex Sentences Complex sentence is made up of an independent clause and one or more dependent clauses connected to it. A dependent clause is similar to an independent clause, or complete sentence, but it lacks one of the elements that would make it a complete sentence. Examples of dependent clauses I did not see them at the station because Mary and Samantha arrived at the bus station before noon.
