Today we learnt what compound, simple and complex Sentences were. We watched multiple videos about what sentences need to make a sentence. I can explain what each of these mean. A simple sentence is a sentence with one independent clause. A simple sentences also contains of a subject and a verb. A compound sentence has two simple sentences that are joined together with a conjunction. And lastly a complex sentence includes a dependent and independent clause. It consists of one clause that makes sense and one that does not. An independent clause is one whole idea and a dependent clause is an unfinished idea that can’t make sense on its own. There is a nickname for all of the conjunctions called a FANBOYS. FANBOYS stands for, for, and, nor, but, or, yet, and so. We were told to write 5 sentences from each of the Simple,Compound, and Complex groups.
