GENERAL ENGLISH GRAMMAR QUIZ Adjective

A simple sentence is sentence that expresses a complete thought.

It comprises of
  1. A subject
  2. A verb
  3. A complete thought
Example
  • The bus was late.
  • Sohan and Mohan took the bus.

A compound sentence has two main clauses joined by a comma and a coordinating conjunction or a semi-colon.

  • Compound sentences connect two simple sentences. They often do not show a clear relationship between the two parts.
Example
  • I waited for the taxi, but it was late.
  • I want to lose weight, yet I eat junck food daily.

A complex sentence has a main clause and one or more dependent clauses.

  • If the dependent clause comes before the independent clause, add a comma after the dependent clause. If the main clause comes first, no comma is needed between the two.
  • Complex sentences can show a more specific relationship between the sentences than a compound sentence.
Example
  • We won the competition because we worked together.
  • Although I was sick, I still cheered for my team from the backside.
