Mastering Grammar

• A simple sentence is a short sentence consisting of a subject and a predicate.

For example, “Mathilde was dissatisfied with her simple life.”

• A compound sentence is a sentence that has more than one main clause combined
using a coordinating conjunction.

For example, “Mathilde longed for beautiful dresses, but she could not afford
them.”

• Whereas, a complex sentence has a main clause and a subordinate clause. The
two clauses can be combined using a subordinating conjunction.

For example, “Despite her modest circumstances, Mathilde dreamt of a life
of luxury.”

• Identify the following sentences as simple, compound or complex.
