4 Types of sentence
A sentence is a group of words that you use to communicate your ideas in writing or in speaking. Every sentence is composed of one or more clauses and expresses a complete thought. A clause is a group of words that contains (at least) a subject and a verb. An independent clause (also called a main clause) contains a subject and a verb and expresses a complete thought. It can stand alone by itself as a sentence. An independent clause is like an adult person: it is independent and can “live” by itself.

According to their structure, sentences are simple, compound, complex and compound-complex. A simple sentence is one independent clause. Like an adult person, it can “live” alone. A compound sentence is two or more independent clauses joined together, like two adults joined together in marriage.

A simple sentence is one independent clause. Like an adult person, it can “live” alone. It has only one subject and one predicate verb, but it may contain more than one object, attribute or adverbial. A compo
