explain the following and how to find them :-

  1. Simple Sentence
  2. Compound Sentence
  3. Complex Sentence

Dear Student,

Here is an explanation for various types of sentences. Hope this helps:

  1. Instances:

  • Dear Students speed won him awards;

  • The moon was bright;

  • The road was clear;

  • He was a bright student.

These sentences have only one subject and one predicate and they are known as simple sentences. They have only one finite verb.

 

  1. Instances:

  • He was bright and he faired well in his exams;

  • The road was clear and we reached soon;

  • They fell asleep when we reached their place.

A sentence which is made up of Principal or Main clauses is called a Compound Sentence. The sentences have two parts joined by co-ordinating conjunction. Each part is known as a clause.

  1. Instances:

  • As soon as he reached the bus stop, the bus started moving at an increasing speed.

  • After the exam results were declared, even though it was expected he rejoiced at gaining the first position.

  • We reached the city and it was crowded and the lights went off.

A complex sentence is one made up of two or more Principal or Main clauses. They consist of three clauses of the same order or rank.

Sentences are made up of clauses. A simple sentence has just one independent clause. A compound sentence has more than one independent clause.

Clauses are made up of subjects and predicates. 

Normally, you can just count the subject/verb pairs. If you have more than one pairing, you don't have a simple sentence.

However, a simple sentence made up of a compound subject and a compound verb is still a simple sentence. For example:

"John and I were running and jumping."

In that sentence, "John and I" counts as one compound subject, "were running and jumping" counts as one compound verb, and the entire sentence counts as one independent clause. That's a simple sentence. On the other hand:

"John was running and I was jumping."

In that sentence, "John" and "was running" count as one subject/verb pair, and "I" and "was jumping" count as a second subject/verb pair. There are more than one independent clauses, so this counts as a compound sentence.

Phrases don't count. It doesn't matter how long or involved the sentence is. "John was running and jumping all over town like a madman in a silly hat." is still a simple sentence. The only subject/verb pair is "John / was running and jumping".

You only mentioned simple sentences and compound sentences. There are also complex sentences, which involve dependent clauses. Those, too, have more than one subject/verb pair.

Just count the subject/verb pairs. If there's only one, it's a simple sentence. If there's more than one subject/verb pair, then it's not a simple sentence. And you can learn the difference between compound and complex later.
