Lesson 1.3 — Sentence Types

  1. Complex: “Before the guests arrived” is a dependent clause.
  2. Complex: “They go on a quest to find Marley’s missing notebook” is a dependent noun clause, with “that” understood after “suggested.”
  3. Compound: “Luna was insistent” and “she forced him to go” are independent clauses joined by “and.” The introductory “Despite” phrase is not a dependent clause.
  4. Simple: One independent clause with a compound predicate, “was insistent and forced him to go.”
  5. Complex: “Because her car was ready to be picked up from the repair shop” is a dependent clause.
  6. Simple: One independent clause with a compound predicate, “felt sick to his stomach and asked to go to the nurse.”
