Definition of the types of sentence:

  • A simple sentence consists of a single independent clause. It presents a subject and a predicate, and it expresses a complete thought on its own. Example: Leyla enjoys diving.
  • A compound sentence is formed when we join two independent clauses with a coordinating conjunction. Example: Leyla enjoys diving and Eric enjoys swimming.
  • A complex sentence is formed when we join an independent clause and a dependent one using a subordinating conjunction. The dependent clause does not express a complete thought on its own. Example: Leyla enjoys diving (ind.) when the weather is good (dep.).
  • A compound-complex sentence is formed when we join two independent clauses and one dependent clause. Example: Leyla, who enjoys diving, does not like to surf, but she likes to swim.
