Simple and Complex Sentence

    A.    Sentence

Sentence is a group of words that you use to communicate your ideas in writing or in speech. It consist two parts those are subject and predicate

    B.     The clause

1.      Independent clause: is a group of words that has a subject and verb. It is used as a part of a sentence but is grammatically independent and it could therefore stand alone.

2.      Dependent clause: is introduced with a subordinator such as when, while, if or before. It cannot stand alone because the subordinator signals the need for an independent clause to complete the meaning of the sentence.

    C.     The simple sentence

A simple sentence is a complete which contain a subject and a verb followed by other words which make up the meaning.

e.g: the bird flew away                                   a sentence

the man on the street                                not a sentence

The subject may be hidden.

e.g: open the door. It means YOU is the subject of this sentence.

All simple sentences must contain at least one subject and one predicate, or verb. however sometimes, the subject, the predicate, or both may be compound.

The sentences below are all simple sentences eventough they have compound parts:

compound subject : Apes and monkeys are primates.

compound predicates: scientists observe and study wildlife.

compound subject and compound predicate : Jane Goodall and Dian Fossey observed and studied primates in the wild.

    D.    Complex sentence

A complex sentence consists of a main clause (independent clause) and one or more subordinate clauses (dependent clause).

Complex sentences are used to express complex ideas by:

1.      Showing how ideas and/or events are related to each other.

2.      Providing extra information about certain words or phrases.

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

Dependent clause begin with subordinating conjunctions. Below are some of the most common subordinating conjuction: after, although, as, because, before, even though, if, since, though, unless, until, when, whenever, whereas, wherever, while.

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

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

1.      Because her score is high, she got the schoolarship

2.      While she waited at the train station, Afi realized that the train was late.

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

1.      She got the schoolarship because her score is high.

2.      Afi realized that the train was late while she waited at the train station.

The Clause (Kinds of Clause)

Hello Everybody! Now let's learn about the kinds of clause.

 

  The clause

  Kinds of clause

    1.      Independent clause

Definition : An independen clause is a group of words that has a subject and verb. It is used as a part of sentence but is grammatically independent and it could therefore stand alone.

Example : Because you come late more than 30 minutes, you are not allowed to enter the class.

    2.      Dependent clause

Definition : A dependent clause is introduced with a subordinator such as when, while, if, or before. It cannot stand alone because the subordinator signals the need for an independent clause to complete the meaning of the sentence.
Example : when you enter the room,……….

a.       Adverb clauses

A dependent adverb clause begins with an adverbial subordinator such as when,  while, because, although, if, so that, etc.

example : although Ahmad was sick, he went to class, Ahmad went to class although he was sick.

notice : if an adverb clause comes before the independent clause, it is followed by a comma ( sentence 1). if it comes after the independent clause, no comma is used.

b.       Adjective clauses

A dependent adjective (relative) clauses begins with a relative pronoun such as who, whom, which, whose, or that, or with  a relative verb such as when or where.

example : men who are not married are called bachelors.

c.       Noun clause

A dependent noun clause function as a noun. A dependent noun clause can be either a subject, or an object. No comma are necessary.

there are three type of noun clauses :

·         that-clauses are made from statements and are introduced by the subordinator  that. Example : The bulletin states that science courses require a laboratory period. Scientists believe that they can discover the medicine for HIV 

·         Wh-word clauses. Example: I don’t know where the student cafeteria is.

·         if/ whether clauses. Example : I don’t know whether I should look for a job or continue my study.

That's all from me.
