Study Notes

Sentence Structure

  • The main verb in the sentence 'This is the house' is 'is', which links the subject 'this' to the predicate 'the house'.

Sentence Types

  • A complex sentence is a sentence that contains an independent clause (main clause) and one or more dependent clauses (subordinate clauses).

Simple Sentences

  • A simple sentence is a sentence that has only one independent clause, such as 'I like coffee.', 'She is studying.', or 'It is raining.'

Compound Sentences

  • The function of a compound sentence is to join two or more independent clauses (i.e., clauses that could stand alone as separate sentences) using a conjunction, such as 'and', 'but', or 'or'.

Subordinating Conjunctions

  • The word 'that' is a subordinating conjunction, which introduces a dependent clause and connects it to an independent clause in a sentence, such as 'I think that she is coming.' or 'The book that I read was interesting.'
