How to Understand the Different Forms of Sentences

The four forms of sentences include:

•        Simple

•        Compound

•        Complex

•        Compound-complex

 

Remember the following regarding clauses:

 

Independent clauses can stand on their own; they are a complete sentence (contain a subject and verb).

 

Dependent clauses cannot stand alone; they do not form a complete sentence (or thought).
