Compound, complex, compound and complex


2.1. Compound sentences
This sentence is composed of two simple sentences joined together by a comma and a joining
word(coordinating conjunction). We could also describe a compound sentence as two
independent clauses joined by a conjunction.There are seven coordinating conjunctions:

and
but
so
or
for
nor
yet.

Example:
1. My right hand is still hurt, so I cant play volley.
2. My mom cooked fried chicken in the kitchen and 4 cats gathered around my
mom.
3. The new boutique is opened today and all ladies in town are coming there.
4. Mr. Jones has a lot of books, he is well informed about current events.
2.2. Complex sentence
A complex sentence contains one independent clause and one or more dependent
clauses (dependent clauses usually begin with a subordinate conjunction such as
after, although, as, because, before, if, since, though, unless, until, when, whenever,
where, wherever, while).
independent - expresses a complete idea, a sentence, and makes sense all
by itself
dependent - does not express a complete idea, it is a part sentence, and does
not make sense by itself).
Example:
1.
2.
3.
4.

the company grew quickly while the economy was good.


When my dad repaired his motorcycle, my uncle visited with his friend.
Before I was born, my father worked as a singer.

2.3. Compound and complex


A compound-complex sentence has one complex sentence joined to a simple
sentence with a conjunction. a compound-complex sentence contains
at least 2 complete sentences joined by a conjunction. a compound-complex
sentence also contains a dependent clause (or introductory clause). the
dependent clause must be introduced using a transitional word or phrase.
Example:
1. When the show ended, the curtain closed, and the audience applauded.

3. Passive
The passive of an active tense is formed by putting the verb to be into the same tense
as the active verb and adding the past participle of the active verb. The subject of the
active verb becomes the agent of the passive verb. The agent is very often not
mentioned. When it is mentioned it is preceded by and placed at the end of the clause.
Ptp = Past Participle
