Lesson 2: Compound and Complex Sentences PERRY HIGH SCHOOL 2014 Authors: Lindsey Tillman & Lindsay Hartgraves

#1: Simple Sentence A simple sentence has one subject and one verb I like to study grammar. A simple sentence is also called an independent clause. An independent clause ends with a period or semicolon.

I love you. Simple sentence One subject I love you. One verb Independent clause: only one subject and one verb

#2: Compound Sentence A compound sentence is made up of two or more simple sentences joined by one of the following: A comma and one of the FANBOYS I like to study grammar, and I love this class. A semicolon I like to study grammar; I love this class. A semicolon and a transitional I like to study grammar; therefore, I love this class.

Coordinating Conjunctions What are Coordinating Conjunctions? (FANBOYS) and but or for so nor yet

Conjunctive Adverbs (Transitions) therefore however nevertheless consequently Furthermore For example thus

Two independent clauses joined together Compound sentence Independent clause I love you; therefore, you love me. Independent clause Two independent clauses joined together

Comma Splice is the INCORRECT use of a comma to join two independent clauses. INCORRECT: I love you, you love me. CORRECT: I love you, so you love me. CORRECT: I love you; you love me.

#3: Complex Sentence A complex sentence is a simple sentence (independent clause) to which a part of a sentence (dependent clause) has been added. Because I like to study grammar, I love this class. I love this class because I like to study grammar.

Because you love me, I love you. Complex sentence Dependent clause Because you love me, I love you. Independent clause A dependent clause joined to an independent clause. (The dependent clause needs the rest of the sentence for support.)

Fragment! Because you love me. Dependent clause A dependent clause contains a subject and verb. It begins with a subordinating conjunction, and thus it does not express a completed thought. A dependent clause is also called a subordinate clause. Dependent clauses, like babies, cannot stand alone.

Common Subordinating (Dependent) Conjunctions after even if now that that where although even though once though whereas as if rather than unless wherever as if whenever since until whether because in order so that when which before than in case while
