Grammar – Types of Sentences
A simple sentence contains a subject and a predicate. (Either
or both may be compound.)
One subject and one predicate
Compound subject
Compound predicate
Compound subject and compound predicate
A compound sentence has two or more independent clauses. An independent clause has a subject and a predicate and can stand alone
as a sentence. Independent clauses are usually connected by a coordinating conjunction: for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so (plus a comma).
(Hint: You can remember these with the acronym, FANBOYS.)
EXAMPLE: The Golden Gate Bridge and Coit Tower are popular attractions in San Francisco, yet tourists also visit Pier 39. (compound sentence with two independent clauses – see if you can identify the subjects and predicates in both independent clauses.)
Write two sentences for each set of words. Follow the instructions!
hamburgers; hot dogs as the compound subject of a simple sentence:______________________________________________________________________________________________________
as subjects in a compound sentence.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________
hit; catchas the compound predicate of a simple sentence:______________________________________________________________________________________________________
as predicates in a compound sentence:______________________________________________________________________________________________________
The clauses of a compound sentence are typically connected by one of the coordinating conjunctions (FANBOYS) and are usually separated by a comma placed before the conjunction.
EXAMPLE: Many tourists visit San Francisco during the summer months, but they are often surprised by the bitter cold weather.
However, a semicolon can be also used between two independent clauses instead of a coordinating
conjunction and a comma.
EXAMPLE:San Francisco is known for its many hills; they make it one of the most thrilling cities to drive through in the country.
Write a short paragraph about one of the following topics. The paragraph should include one simple sentence and two compound sentences. One compound sentence needs a comma and coordinating conjunction (FANBOY) and the other compound sentence needs a semicolon.

DAY FOURCOMPLEX SENTENCES
DAY FIVECOMPOUND-COMPLEX SENTENCES
A complex sentence consists of a single
independent clause and one or more
dependent clauses.
A complex sentence will always contain
a subordinate conjunction (because,
after, since, etc.) or a relative pronoun
(that, whom, etc.). When a complex
sentence has its dependent clause
before the independent clause, you
must include a comma at the end of
the dependent clause. If the dependent
clause comes after the independent
clause, no comma is needed.
EXAMPLES:
Since I was hungry, I ordered an extra
large pizza.
I ordered an extra large pizza since I
was hungry.
*Notice where the dependent clause is
located in each of these sentences.*
Complete the sentence starters to create complex sentences. Remember to follow
the rules to the left! (Hint: You may need to add commas, subordinate conjunctions,
or relative pronouns to some sentences.)
1. After eating three slices of banana cream pie _______________________________
_____________________________________________________________.
2. Mr. Wilson is a strict teacher __________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________.
3. Because she lied on her college application _________________________________
_____________________________________________________________.
4. When Stella arrived home after three weeks at volleyball camp____________________

onceprovided thatrather thansinceso thatthanthatthough
unlessuntilwhenwheneverwherewhereaswhereverwhile
thatwhowhicheverwhichwhoeverwhomwhomever
A compound-complex sentence combines
two or more independent clauses with at
least one dependent clause.
EXAMPLES:
Because I ate so much for breakfast, I
was extremely full, and I had to lie down
on the couch to rest.
I took a flight to Italy, but I had a brief
layover in Switzerland first since it was
too expensive to fly direct.
Complete the sentence starters to create compound-complex sentences. Make sure to follow
the criteria for a compound-complex sentence (two or more independent clauses with at least
one dependent clause).
1. After school got out for summer, (dependent clause) _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
2. Even though Cece was exhausted, (dependent clause) _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
3. Austin doesn’t like mystery books (independent clause) because ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
4. Usually, ______________________________________ (dependent clause),
_______________________________________________ (independent clause), and
__________________________________________________(independent clause).
