SENTENCE STRUCTURE
S
SENTENCE STRUCTURE
One way that we categorize
sentences is by their structure. When we do that, we have four different types
of sentences.
Before we tackle the topic of sentence structure, we need to make sure that you know about clauses.
A clause is a group of words that contains a subject and a verb. There are two main types of clauses.
Before we tackle the topic of sentence structure, we need to make sure that you know about clauses.
A clause is a group of words that contains a subject and a verb. There are two main types of clauses.
·
Independent clauses express complete
thoughts. (I love cookies.)
·
Dependent clauses don't express
complete thoughts. They must be connected to independent clauses in order to
make sense. (If I love cookies)
There are only four
sentence structures, and all four of them are formed from combinations of those
two kinds of clauses. Wow! That's crazy.
Here They Are
1.
Simple sentences contain just one independent clause.
I kicked the ball.
Here is a sentence diagram
of a simple sentence. Notice that there is just one horizontal line.
2.
Compound sentences contain two or more independent clauses
joined by a coordinating conjunction.
I kicked the ball, and it hit Tom.
Here is a sentence diagram
of a compound sentence. Notice that there are now two horizontal lines and the
bottom one is directly under the top one.
Bonus
Tip: In order to be a compound sentence, a group
of words must contain two or more independent clauses. For example, the
following sentence is not a compound sentence.
Kristin and Kate walked to the park.
That sentence does contain
a compound subject (Kristin, Kate), but since it only has one clause,
it's not considered a compound sentence. It's a simple sentence!
3.
Complex sentences have an independent clause and one or
more dependent clauses.
Tom cried because the ball hit him.
In this diagram, there are
two horizontal lines again, but notice that one of them is below the other and
to the right. Do you see how this looks different from the compound sentence
diagram?
4.
Compound-complex sentences have two or more
independent clauses and at least one dependent clause.
Tom cried because the ball hit him, and I immediately
apologized.
In this diagram, we have
three horizontal lines! Do you see how this diagram is a combination of the
last two diagrams?
If you really want to
understand sentence structure (and have some fun), I highly recommend learning
how to diagram sentences. When you diagram sentences, you make the
relationships between words visual.
