Simple, Compound, Complex????


A simple sentence has two parts - a subject and a predicate, which contains the verb.

A compound sentence consists of two simple sentences joined by a coordinate conjunction  -- and, but, so, yet, or

A complex sentence is made up of an independent clause and one or more dependent clauses.  The dependent clause sometimes begins with one of the following key words:  though, although, after, as, before, because, since, then, once, until, unless, where, wherever, when, whenever, while

Using what we have learned about simple, compound, and complex sentences you need to write one sentence of each type and label what each sentence is:  

Example:

Simple:  Kristi ran a 5K race this weekend.

Compound:  Kristi ran a 5K race this weekend, and she won 1st place.

Complex:  Because the world is so large, Kristi cannot get an exact population count.
