ENG 1001: Sentences: Simple, Compound, and Complex

A common weakness in writing is the lack of varied sentences. Becoming aware of three general types of sentences--simple, compound, and complex--can help you vary the sentences in your writing.

The most effective writing uses a variety of the sentence types explained below.

1. Simple Sentences

A simple sentence has the most basic elements that make it a sentence: a subject, a verb, and a completed thought.

Examples of simple sentences include the following:

Joe waited for the train.
"Joe" = subject, "waited" = verb
The train was late.
"The train" = subject, "was" = verb
Mary and Samantha took the bus.
"Mary and Samantha" = compound subject, "took" = verb
I looked for Mary and Samantha at the bus station.
"I" = subject, "looked" = verb
Mary and Samantha arrived at the bus station early but waited until noon for the bus.
"Mary and Samantha" = compound subject, "arrived" and "waited" = compound verb

Tip: If you use many simple sentences in an essay, you should consider revising some of the sentences into compound or complex sentences (explained below).

The use of compound subjects, compound verbs, prepositional phrases (such as "at the bus station"), and other elements help lengthen simple sentences, but simple sentences often are short. The use of too many simple sentences can make writing "choppy" and can prevent the writing from flowing smoothly.

A simple sentence can also be referred to as an independent clause. It is referred to as "independent" because, while it might be part of a compound or complex sentence, it can also stand by itself as a complete sentence.

2. Compound Sentences

A compound sentence refers to a sentence made up of two independent clauses (or complete sentences) connected to one another with a coordinating conjunction. Coordinating conjunctions are easy to remember if you think of the words "FAN BOYS":

Examples of compound sentences include the following:

Joe waited for the train, but the train was late.
I looked for Mary and Samantha at the bus station, but they arrived at the station before noon and left on the bus before I arrived.
Mary and Samantha arrived at the bus station before noon, and they left on the bus before I arrived.
Mary and Samantha left on the bus before I arrived, so I did not see them at the bus station.

Tip: If you rely heavily on compound sentences in an essay, you should consider revising some of them into complex sentences (explained below).

Coordinating conjunctions are useful for connecting sentences, but compound sentences often are overused. While coordinating conjunctions can indicate some type of relationship between the two independent clauses in the sentence, they sometimes do not indicate much of a relationship. The word "and," for example, only adds one independent clause to another, without indicating how the two parts of a sentence are logically related. Too many compound sentences that use "and" can weaken writing.

Clearer and more specific relationships can be established through the use of complex sentences.

3. Complex Sentences

A complex sentence is made up of an independent clause and one or more dependent clauses connected to it. A dependent clause is similar to an independent clause, or complete sentence, but it lacks one of the elements that would make it a complete sentence.

Examples of dependent clauses include the following:

because Mary and Samantha arrived at the bus station before noon
while he waited at the train station
after they left on the bus

Dependent clauses such as those above cannot stand alone as a sentence, but they can be added to an independent clause to form a complex sentence.

Dependent clauses begin with subordinating conjunctions. Below are some of the most common subordinating conjunctions:

after
although
as
because
before
even though
if
since
though
unless
until
when
whenever
whereas
wherever
while

A complex sentence joins an independent clause with one or more dependent clauses.

The dependent clauses can go first in the sentence, followed by the independent clause, as in the following:

Tip: When the dependent clause comes first, a comma should be used to separate the two clauses.

Because Mary and Samantha arrived at the bus station before noon, I did not see them at the station.
While he waited at the train station, Joe realized that the train was late.
After they left on the bus, Mary and Samantha realized that Joe was waiting at the train station.

Conversely, the independent clauses can go first in the sentence, followed by the dependent clause, as in the following:

Tip: When the independent clause comes first, a comma should not be used to separate the two clauses.

I did not see them at the station because Mary and Samantha arrived at the bus station before noon.
Joe realized that the train was late while he waited at the train station.
Mary and Samantha realized that Joe was waiting at the train station after they left on the bus.

Complex sentences are often more effective than compound sentences because a complex sentence indicates clearer and more specific relationships between the main parts of the sentence. The word "before," for instance, tells readers that one thing occurs before another. A word such as "although" conveys a more complex relationship than a word such as "and" conveys.

The term periodic sentence is used to refer to a complex sentence beginning with a dependent clause and ending with an independent clause, as in "While he waited at the train station, Joe realized that the train was late."

Periodic sentences can be especially effective because the completed thought occurs at the end of it, so the first part of the sentence can build up to the meaning that comes at the end.

Beginning Sentences with "And" or "Because"

Should you begin a sentence with "and" or "but" (or one of the other coordinating conjunctions)?

The short answer is "no. " You should avoid beginning a sentence with "and," "or," "but," or the other coordinating conjunctions. These words generally are used to join together parts of a sentence, not to begin a new sentence.

However, such sentences can be used effectively. Because sentences beginning with these words stand out, they are sometimes used for emphasis. If you use sentences beginning with one of the coordinating conjunctions, you should use these sentences sparingly and carefully.

Should you begin a sentence with "because"?

There is nothing wrong with beginning a sentence with "because."

Perhaps some students are told not to begin a sentence with "because" to avoid sentence fragments (something like "Because Mary and Samantha arrived at the bus station before noon" is a sentence fragment), but it is perfectly acceptable to begin a sentence with "because" as long as the sentence is complete (as in "Because Mary and Samantha arrived at the bus station before noon, I did not see them at the station. ")

What is a simple sentence: types and examples

The sentence is studied not only by philologists and linguists, but also by psychologists and philosophers. This fact is explained by the fact that any statement is associated with human mental operations. In some studies, it is understood as a phrase or judgment. So, a simple suggestion, what is it.

Definition

A simple sentence is a sentence that has one grammatical basis. In this design, one item performs one action. Example: Mom bought a delicious cake.

However, there are exceptions:

the grammatical basis may contain homogeneous subjects, that is, the statement refers to several objects that perform the action: Mom, dad and grandmother came to congratulate me on my name day;
the grammatical stem may contain homogeneous predicates, i. e. the statement refers to several actions performed by the subject: Mom came home from work and immediately began to clean the apartment, and then started preparing dinner;
the grammatical stem may not contain a subject or a predicate. For example, a statement can talk about only one object without its action: “ Beauty! » Or it can only talk about some action without a character: Buying cakes .

Types of simple sentences

Simple sentences are classified according to several criteria. All these features are indicated in the syntactic description.

According to the purpose of the statement, they are divided into:

narrative - telling about something: Mom came home very late;
interrogative - having a question in its structure: What time will mother come home?
incentive - inciting to action: Let's be friends!

Sentences are distinguished by emotional coloring:

exclamatory, that is, with an exclamation point at the end: I love you!
non-exclamatory, that is, with a dot, question mark or ellipsis at the end: Please give me a notebook.

By the presence of the main member - subject or predicate - they are divided into:

two-part, that is, having a subject and a predicate: The long-awaited winter will come soon.
one-part, that is, having either a subject or a predicate in their composition: Winter!

One-piece constructions, in turn, are divided into: Such sentences include a subject without a predicate: It's already five o'clock!

generalized-personal. These constructions have a predicate denoting an action that can be applied to any person: Chickens are counted in autumn;

definitely personal. Such sentences have a predicate that denotes an action performed by a certain person, easily recovered from the context: I'm going home;

indefinite personal. Such utterances have a predicate that denotes an action performed by unspecified persons: Bread is brought every morning;

impersonal. It is impossible to identify the character in this type of construction: Cold.

By the presence of members that affect the understanding of the meaning of the statement, the following sentences are distinguished:
incomplete, that is, with a set of main and secondary members insufficient to understand the meaning of the statement: We are going to school (the predicate “going” is omitted).

By the presence of secondary members, common and non-common sentences are distinguished :

common, that is, containing, in addition to the grammatical basis, secondary members (addition, definition, circumstance ): I will go with Masha to the street.

not common, that is, containing only the grammatical basis without minor members: I'll go for a walk.

Help! A simple complicated sentence is a syntactic construction that contains complicating elements. These include:

homogeneous members;

comparative turns;

separate minor members;

introductory words and insertions;

appeals.

Difference from the compound sentence

The compound sentence contains more than one grammatical stem: Mom washed the dishes, dad fixed the TV. In this construction, "mom soap" and "dad repaired" are separate grammatical bases.

To find a simple sentence in a text, you need to analyze each statement for the number of grammatical bases. If it has one basis, then the analyzed syntactic construction is simple.

I love Russian winter! In this statement there is no actor, that is, the subject, but there is one action, denoted by the predicate "I love." So the proposition is simple.

According to weather forecasters, it will rain tomorrow . In this sentence, "it will rain" is the only grammatical basis. Therefore, the design will be simple, but complicated due to the introductory component "according to weather forecasters. " Wed: Forecasters say it will rain tomorrow is complex, since it has two bases: “forecasters have expressed” and “it will rain”.

A simple sentence contains one group of main members, but it can also include complicating elements.

What is a simple and complex sentence?

The Russian language distinguishes between simple and complex sentences. They differ in the number of grammatical bases.

Simple offer

Simple offer - is a sentence with one grammatical stem.
Example: I have washed the dishes. This is a simple sentence, since it has one grammatical basis - I washed it.

Types of simple sentences

A simple sentence can be one-part and two-part.

One-part - is a simple sentence with only one main term. For example: Stay silent. The main member is "stop" (predicate).

One-part sentences can be:

indefinitely personal: You have been called to the director.

generalized-personal: You can't even pull a fish out of a pond without effort.

impersonal: The room is dark.

definitely personal: I stand and smile.

infinitive: Quiet! It's time for you to go.

nominal: Night. The outside. Flashlight. Pharmacy.

Two-part sentence - is a simple sentence that has all the necessary components, such as: subject and predicate.

Compound sentence

A compound sentence is a sentence that has two or more grammatical bases that can be related either in meaning or with the help of conjunctions.

For example: I am sitting on an armchair, a cat jumped up to me . This is a difficult sentence because it has two grammatical bases (I am sitting and the cat jumped up).

Types of compound sentences

Compound sentences can be:

non-union;

compound;

complex.

Non-union sentences - a sentence in which all its parts are interconnected in meaning, but without unions.

For example: It's getting warmer, I took off my jacket. In this sentence, there are two grammatical parts "warmer" and "I removed", between which there are no conjunctions.

Compound sentences are a complex union sentence, the simple parts of which are connected with the help of coordinating unions. Coordinating conjunctions: a, and, but, a, or, or, yes, both ... and, either ... either, not only ... but and, or ... or, neither ... nor, but.

All parts of compound sentences are equal in meaning.

For example: Not only the water warmed up on the beach, but the sand became warmer as well. The first part of the compound sentence - the water warmed up, the second - the sand became.
