These are the sentence types that you need to be successful
in an English high school or college.
You can use all of the sentences types that we are learning
in highschool, college, life, work, etc.
SIMPLE SV

day.

tomorrow.
COMPOUND – join these simple sentences together

day JOIN it will rain tomorrow.
JOIN- , SOBA ,
so , or , but
, and
English speakers use SOBA everyday, all day long!
e.g. It is a
sunny day, but it will rain
tomorrow.
HIGHER LEVEL WAYS TO MAKE A COMPOUND SENTENCE:
e.g. It is a sunny day; also, it will rain tomorrow.
It is a sunny day; however, it will
rain tomorrow.
I teach this in EF56.
In EF34, I stick to SOBA.

Simple
and Compound Sentences
Simple Sentence
A simple sentence is one
independent clause that has a subject and a verb and expresses a complete
thought. Notice that there are some important requirements for a simple
sentence:
1. Must have a subject and a verb.
2. Must express a complete thought.
3. Must only have one clause.
Examples of Simple Sentence:
1. Joe went to the store.

4. I found $5 on the sidewalk.
5. The pizza smells delicious.

independent clauses that each have a subject and a verb and express two
complete thoughts. Notice that there are some important requirements for
a compound sentence:
1. Must have a subject and a verb and another
subject and verb.
2. Must express two complete thoughts.
3. The two clausesmust be separated by ,SOBA or
,FANBOYS.
