  1. Types of Sentences Brought to you by the brilliant people at Daniels INC

  2. Before we begin … • You are expected to write in complete sentences this year. • Text message language is not accepted in my classroom. • I feel so passionately about this that I might even choose to refuse to grade any work of yours that is not completed in this manner. • The moment your cross into room 135, turn on your grammar switch! • Why am I doing this? Let this link below explain my madness … • http://goanimate.com/videos/0fbxZ8udx9Hc?utm_source=linkshare

  3. There are three types of sentences: • Simple sentences. • Compound sentences. • Complex sentences.

  4. Simple Sentences • Simple sentences are composed of one independent clause and usually have one subject and one verb. • You can find a simple sentence if the sentence tells two things: • Who or what did something. (subject) • What did it do? (predicate)

  5. Simple Sentence Examples • SUBJECT / PREDICATE • The Blue Team / is the best team at IT. • The Chiefs / will win the AFC West. • My brothers / were in the Army. • Tab and Tate / are my two sons. • My son Tab / likes to watch Barney. • Mr. Daniels / is strikingly handsome. • I / lie sometimes.

  6. Compound Sentences • A compound sentence is a sentence that has two independent clauses connected together. • It will have two subjects and two predicates. • These sentences are usually connected by a conjunction (and, or, but).

  7. Compound Sentence Examples • SENTENCE 1 / SENTENCE 2 • I like dogs, / but I also like cats. • He woke up, / and he brushed his teeth. • Elmo is furry, / and he is kinda cute. • The Jayhawks are awesome,/ and they will rock in basketball this year. • Mr. Daniels’ son is adorable, / and he has a cute smile.

  8. Complex Sentences • A complex sentence has an independent clause and a dependent clause. • An independent clause can stand by itself as a sentence. • A dependent clause depends on something else to make it a complete sentence.

  9. Complex Sentence Examples • Dependent clause / Independent clause • Since class is over, / I put my books away. • After leaving for the party, / I realized I forgot my money. • Because it was late, / I went to bed. • Growing frustrated, / I continued working on the logic puzzle. • Since I was tired, / I slept with my son.

  10. Practice: Decide which type of sentence each of the following is: • My bookshelf is filled with awesome books. • Happily married, my wife and I love each other. • I am a Christian, and I attend Legacy Christian Church. • Since I love the Chiefs, I watched their first preseason game. • I have two recycle bins in my room. • I used to believe in the Easter bunny, but I don’t anymore.
