Simple and Compound Sentences

Simple Sentences What does the word independent mean? A simple sentence, also called an independent clause, contains one subject and one predicate. It expresses a complete thought. It is the most basic (or simple) type of sentence. They can be short: They hid. Or long: They hid behind the big green bushes during the game of hide and seek.

Page 186, Numbers 1-10

Compound Sentences A compound sentence contains two or more independent clauses and no subordinate clauses. A compound sentence can be connected by a comma and a coordinating conjunction, a semicolon, or a semicolon, conjunctive adverb, and a comma used together.

Example Sentence: I hate going to school; however, I enjoy seeing my friends everyday !

Look at the first half of the six sentences you just imitated. Do they make sense on their own?  The Falcons and Red Hawks played yesterday  Ms. Loyd teaches language arts  Many people live in cities  James joined the recycling club  Most people travel to their jobs  Mrs. Geiger teaches math

Now look at the second half of each sentence. Do they make sense on their own?  today both teams are exhausted  Mr. Finch teaches social studies  others build houses in the suburbs  Fred joined the drama club  others work at home  Mrs. Sharman teaches science

What could you conclude about joining complete sentences?  Mrs. Rainer teaches language arts, and Mr. Morrissey teaches social studies.  James joined the recycling club, but Fred joined the drama club.  Mrs. Wright teaches math; Mrs. Middleton teaches science.  I hate going to school; however, I enjoy seeing my friends!
