What Are the Different Sentence Types?
A sentence is made up of clauses, a group of words that express an idea. There are two types of clauses; dependent and independent clauses. Here are different types of sentences Simple sentences - They consist of one independent clause; it requires one punctuation mark at the end, like a full stop or exclamation mark, or question mark. For example; The essay was late Compound Sentences - They are made by joining simple sentences. Join sentences are closely related in content to make your writing more fluid. You can join sentences simply with a comma and words like, but, so, and, yet. For example, The essay was late, so he lost marks. Moving on, we have complex sentences, Complex sentences - They are made when you combine a dependent clause with an independent one. For example: Since his essay was late, he lost some marks. If the dependent clause comes first, like the one in the example above, separated from the independent with a comma. If a sentence starts with an independent clause, there's no need to separate the clauses using a comma. For instance: He lost some marks because the essay was late
