Examine the following sentences.

1. His courage won him honour.
2. The moon was bright and we could see our way.
3. They rested when evening came.

• We see that sentence 1 has only one Subject and one predicate. Such a sentence is called a Simple Sentence.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎(ii) We could see our way.

• These two parts are joined by the Co-ordinating conjunction and.Each part contains a subject and a predicate of its own. Each part is what we call a clause.We further notice that each Clause makes good sense by itself, and hence could stand by itself as a separate sentence. Each Clause is therefore independent of the other or of the same order or rank, and is called a Principle or main clause. A sentence, such as the second, which is made up of Principle or main clause, is called a Compound Sentence.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎(ii) When evening came.

• Each part contains a Subject and a predicate of its own, and forms part of a large sentence. Each part is therefore a Clause.We further notice that the clause, They rested , makes good sense by itself, and hence could stand by itself as a complete sentence. it is therefore called the principle or Main clause.The clause, when evening came, cannot stand by itself and make good sense. It is dependent on the clause they rested. It is therefore called a Dependent or Subordinate clause. A sentence such as 3, is called a Complex sentence.
