THE SENTENCE - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Compound sentences contain at least two independent clauses that have related ideas. These clauses are joined using a coordinating conjunction, a correlative conjunction, semicolon, or a conjugative adverb. Here are a few examples of compound sentences: The photographer wiggled his bells, and the baby smiled. I arrived late; however, the class had not begun. It was hot outside, but the ice cream did not melt.
      - The complex sentence is a sentence that consists of an independent clause and one or more dependent clauses, introduced, and joined with the linking word, called subordinating conjunctions. There are a lot of subordinate conjunctions in English language. Some of the commonly used subordinate conjunctions are: as, as if, before, after, because, though, even though, while, when, whenever, if, during, as soon as, as long as, since, until, unless, where, and wherever. For ex, As the bridge wasn’t properly maintained by the government, it fell down.
      - Simple sentence is one of the types of sentences based on structure. While it is the easiest sentence to create, it does have some rules you must follow. Along with being one independent clause there are aspects that need to be part of the sentence.
        For example. I ran out of paper for the printer.
        The cake smells good.
        Can I have some milk to drink, please?
        She went to the store.
      - To make a compound-complex sentence, you need at least two independent clauses, a conjunction, and one or more dependent clauses (subordinate clauses). To make it simple, you are combining two sentence types together. That is, a complex and compound sentence are combined to form a compound-complex sentence. Some examples will help you:We did not win the game, but we were not unhappy because we, the beginners, had faced the veterans confidently.
