Janice couldn't wait to go shopping because she had some money and an idea of what she wanted.
Simple Compound Complex
Complex sentences are valuable for joining sentences when you have one idea that is more important than another. A complex sentence contains one independent clause joined by one or more subordinate clauses. Subordinate clauses are groups of words that contain a subject and a verb. However, subordinate clauses cannot stand alone because they do not express a complete thought. The subordinate clause always includes a word that makes the clause an incomplete thought. These words are called subordinating conjunctions or relative pronouns. Several common subordinating conjunctions and relative pronouns are included on this page. Read the following complex sentences. Independent clauses are underlined, and subordinate clauses are bolded.
Compound sentences are valuable when joining two ideas of equal importance. A compound sentence contains two independent clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction (FANBOYS). Thus, a compound sentence contains more than one complete thought. Unless the two independent clauses are really short, a comma is required before the coordinating conjunction. Read the following compound sentences. Independent clauses are underlined, and commas and coordinating conjunctions are bolded: 1. Peanut butter and jelly tastes good, but peanut butter and chocolate is delicious. 2. Some people like to travel, and others prefer staying home. 3. We practiced really hard, so we felt prepared to win the game.
A simple sentence contains only one independent clause. This means that it contains a subject and a verb, and it expresses a complete thought. Read the following simple sentences. Subjects are underlined and verbs are bolded: 1. The student studied for his exam. 2. The teacher and the student studied together. 3. The student studied and took the test.
