Question

make a paragraph using compound, complex and simple words​

Answer 1

I THOUGHT YOUR QUESTION IS:

How do I write a paragraph consisting of simple, compound and complex sentences?

SO, YOUR ANSWER WILL BE:

You can do that only if you know what each sentence is.

1. The simple sentence = S + V and expressing a complete idea.

Ellie boarded the train.

2. compound sentence:

Begin with a simple sentence , using the same same format as above. (S + V and expressing a complete idea)

She looked out the window

Then insert a COMMA,

She looked out the window,

Then choose a COORDINATE CONJUNCTION from this short list: and, but, or.

She looked out the window, but

Then construct a second simple sentence to follow the first simple sentence. You will have constructed this patter: S + V — coordinate conjunction — S + V.

The compound sentence: She looked out the window, but she could not see him.

3. complex sentence: You can begin with a subordinate conjunction. Let’s do that.

Here is a list of subordinate conjunctions. Select one:

after, although, as, as soon as, because, before

by the time

even if

even though

every time

if

in case

in the event that

just in case

now that

once

only if

since

since

the first time

though

unless

until

when

whenever

whereas

whether or not

while

while

For this example, I have chosen the subordinating conjunction as.

You will find that when you use a subordinating conjunction with a subject and a verb, you will not produce a complete sentence. Example:

As she sat back in her seat,

Again, please note the clause above. It has a subordinate conjunction (as)+ S + V (if done correctly, this will NOT express a complete idea)

The next step is to complete the sentence by adding a simple sentence to the incomplete clause you have just written:

she smiled for the first time in weeks.

As — or when, or before, or as soon as, or after, — she sat back in her seat, she smiled for the first time in weeks.

Those three sentences comprise your paragraph.

“(Simple) Ellie boarded the train. (Compound) She looked out the window, but she could not see him. (Complex) As she sat back in her seat, she smiled for the first time in weeks.”

Here’s another. “The cranky old cat climbed the stairs. She hissed loudly at the sleeping black whippet, and he scampered from the bedroom. As he raced past her, the trace of a smile played fleetingly beneath her whiskers.”

Notice that additional phrases, such as prepositional phrases (at the sleeping black whippet, from the bedroom, beneath her whiskers) can be used in any of the sentence types. They do not affect the definition of simple, compound, or complex.

Try a few of these three-sentence paragraphs on your own.

Note: One of the four sentence types is missing. It is the compound-complex sentence. If you followed the information above, you should be able to construct one
