A sentence is the largest unit of any language. In English, it begins with a capital letter and ends with a full-stop, or a question mark, or an exclamation mark.

Examples of Sentences:

In other words, a complete English sentence must have three characteristics:

• First, in written form, a sentence begins with a capital letter and ends with a period (i.e., a full stop) [.], a note of interrogation (i.e., a question mark) [?], or a note of exclamation (i.e., an exclamation mark) [!].
• Second, it must express a complete thought, not fragmented.
• Third, it must contain at least one subject (hidden/visible) and one verb comprising an independent clause. (An independent clause contains an independent subject and verb and expresses a complete thought.)

Types of Sentences:

There are Four types Of Sentences:-

• Simple sentence
• Compound sentence
• Complex sentence, and
• Compound-complex sentence

$\sf\underline{Simple\: sentence}$

A simple sentence must have a single clause (a single verb) which is independent, and it cannot take another clause.

Example:

• I always wanted to become a writer. (One clause – one verb).

$\sf\underline{Compound\: sentence}$

A compound sentence must have more than one independent clause with no dependent clauses. Some specific conjunctions, punctuation, or both are used to join together these clauses.

Example:

• I always wanted to become a writer, and she wanted to become a doctor. (Two independent clauses – two verbs).

$\sf\underline{Complex\: sentence:}$

A complex sentence also has more than one clause but of one them must be an independent clause and the other/others must be (a) dependent clause(es). There are also some particular connectors for the clauses of a complex sentence to be connected.

Example:

• I know that you always wanted to be a writer. (Here, a dependent clause is followed by a connector and an independent clause. The other way around is also possible.)

$\sf\underline{Compound-Complex\: sentence}$

A compound-complex sentence (or complex–compound sentence) is a mixture of the features of compound and complex sentences in one sentence. So, it must contain at least two independent clauses and at least one dependent clause.

Example:

• I know that you always wanted to become a writer, but I always wanted to become a doctor. (Here, one dependent clause is followed by a complex connector and two independent clauses with a compound conjunction between them.)
