OpenStudy (juan1857):

Sorry but I was referring to simple, compound, complex, and compound complex. @OtherWorldly

OpenStudy (otherworldly):

Now these two sentences are obviously not simple sentences so lets ignore that....

OpenStudy (otherworldly):

For compound sentences there should be a coma and but or so <<stuff like that.....do u see that in any of the sentences above?

OpenStudy (juan1857):

yup the 1st one

OpenStudy (otherworldly):

great okay so we know the first on is a compound sentence

OpenStudy (otherworldly):

neeexxxxt

OpenStudy (otherworldly):

complex sentences has aaawwubbis or relative pronouns at the beginning or middle. Do you know what both are?

OpenStudy (juan1857):

idk what aaawwubis is

OpenStudy (otherworldly):

aaawwubbis is an abbreviation sooo it stands for A = After A = Although A = As W = While W = When U = Until B = Because B = Before I = If S = Since

OpenStudy (otherworldly):

got it? :)

OpenStudy (juan1857):

yeah ok

OpenStudy (juan1857):

now its easier to remember

OpenStudy (otherworldly):

Great happy to help.... :) so do you think the second sentence is a complex sentence

OpenStudy (otherworldly):

??

OpenStudy (juan1857):

I don't think it is

OpenStudy (otherworldly):

correct

OpenStudy (otherworldly):

so if the second sentence isnt compound or complex...well of course it cant be compound complex XD i wasnt paying attention at the beginning one of the sentences can be simple and since the first one is a compound sentence then......

OpenStudy (otherworldly):
