1. Compound-Complex Sentences

2. What we already know... Simple Sentences:
Contain at least one (1) subject and (1) predicate.
Are independent clauses; they are complete thoughts.
Can be arranged in 4 patterns: SV/SVV/SSV/SSVV

3. What we already know... Compound Sentences Compound Sentences
Contain two (2) independent clauses
Independent clauses are held together by:
Coordinating Conjunctions (FANBOYS)
Conjunctive Adverbs (Show Relationships)
Compound Sentences
Coordinating Conjunction (c) = comma
Conjunctive Adverb (ca) = semicolon AND comma
Can be made into 3 patterns:
I ; I
I , c I
I ; ca, I

4. What we already know... Complex Sentences
Contain 1 independent clause and 1 or more dependent clauses
Dependent clauses start with a subordinating conjunction.; it is the word that BEGINS the dependent clause.
If the sentence starts with a dependent clause, it will use a comma.
Complex Sentences can be made into 2 patterns:
ID - I want to play outside even though it is still winter.
D, I - Even though it is still winter, I want to play outside.

5. SUBORDINATING CONJUNCTIONS

AFTER
ALTHOUGH AS
AS IF
AS LONG AS
AS SOON AS
AS THOUGH
BECAUSE

EVEN IF
EVEN THOUGH IF
IN ORDER THAT
JUST AS
LIKE
ONCE
PROVIDED
RATHER THAN
SINCE

Compound sentence + Complex sentence = Compound-Complex
Contain at least 1 dependent clause

7. Does the dependent clause come 1st, 2nd, or 3rd?
