What is the Proper Sentence Structure?
A well-written sentence is one that is appropriately punctuated, grammatically correct, and has a precise meaning. The secret to good writing is the variation and mixture of the sentence types within your written work paragraph. There are four different types of sentence structure. These series of worksheets will explore each form. Simple form consists of just one independent clause. Compound forms consist of two or more independent clauses. Complex sentences consist of an independent clause and one or more dependent forms. The most intricate form is referred to as a Compound-Complex. These sentences have two or more independent clauses and one or more dependent clauses. Another thing that adds up in a proper sentence structure is the length of the sentence. A sentence must consist of clarity and concision and should not be more than 20 to 25 words. The more precise the verdict is, the easier it is for people to understand you.
