ONCE A WRITER KNOWS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE THREE SENTENCE TYPES (SIMPLE, COMPOUND, AND COMPLEX), IT IS POSSIBLE TO WRITE WITH SENTENCE VARIETY. SENTENCE VARIETY HELPS MAKE YOUR WRITING MORE INTERESTING.

SIMPLE SENTENCE

A simple sentence contains a subject and verb.

Write a sample simple sentence.John went to the store.

COMPOUND SENTENCES

A compound sentence contains two independent clauses joined together by a FANBOYS.

Write a sample compound sentence.Jack went to the store, for he needed groceries for dinner.

COMPLEX SENTENCES A complex sentence is an

independent clause joined by one or more dependent clauses, using subordinating conjunctions (AAAWWUBISET).

Write a sample complex sentence.Because Ashley left her homework in her locker, she received Lasalle for not having it with her.

COMPOUND-COMPLEX SENTENCES A compound-complex sentence is

a sentence that has at least two independent clauses and at least one dependent clause.

Subordinating conjunctions (AAAWWUBISET) are used to introduce the dependent clauses.

Coordinating conjunctions (FANBOYS) are used for joining the independent clauses.
