    SIMPLE SENTENCE

    clause and no subordinate clause. It may
    contain two or more verbs or two or more
    subjects connected by subordinators, but
    this does not alter the fact that only
    EXAMPLES:

    • King Dasharata had four sons. Lakshman


    and Shatrughna were twins. King
    Dasharatha decides it is time to give his
    throne to Rama and retire to the forest.
    Sita and Lakshman begged and
    convinced Rama to let them set out for
    the forest.
    COMPOUND SENTENCE
    – is a sentence composed of two or more independent
    clauses but no subordinate clauses. The clauses of a
    compound sentence may be separated by semi-colons or
    commas followed by coordinating conjunctions; or semi-
    colons followed by sentence connectors. You may
    separate the two main clauses of a compound.
    The most common coordinators are: and or nor so but
    for yet
    The most common sentence connectors are: therefore
    moreover indeed while also hence
    •Examples: Bharata begs
    Rama to return to the
    palace but the latter
    refuses. Rama goes off to
    hunt the deer, while
    Lakshman draw a
    protective circle around
    Sita.
    COMPLEX SENTENCE
    - is a sentence containing one
    independent clause and at least one
    subordinate clause.

    Examples: When Sita steps outside the


    circle, Ravana grabs her and carries her
    off to his kingdom in Lanka. Ravana’s men
    capture Hanuman before he could finish
    conversing with Sita.
    COMPOUND-COMPLEX SENTENCE

    – contains two or more


    independent clauses
    and at least one
    subordinate clause.
