KINDS OF SENTENCES (Part 2)
You may see the first post on Kinds Of Sentences (Part-1)
Based on forms, sentences are of three types:
➊ Simple Sentences
➋ Compound Sentences
➌ Complex Sentences
Simple Sentence: A simple sentence has one subject, one predicate or finite verb.
e.g.
Rosy runs very fast.
They run very fast.
My friend is very intelligent.
Gold and Platinum are precious metals.
The train was late.
In the above sentences, words in black boxes are subjects while words in green boxes are predicates. See above the sentence "Gold and Platinum...", a conjunction is used to make a single subject.
Compound Sentences: In such sentences two or more co-ordinate clauses (independent of each other) are joined by a conjunction.
Examples are:
❶ Clouds appeared and it became to rain.
❷ You may stay or you may leave.
❸ I waited for the train, but it was late.
❹ The girls went to the disco but did not go to the cinema.
