A
simple
sentence
is
usually
short.
It
contains
a
subject
and
a
verb.
The
subject
is
understood
in
an
imperative
sentence
such
as:
Let’s
take
the
subway.
A
complex
sentence
has
an
independent
clause
that
could
stand
alone
as
a
sentence
(shown
in
orange
below).
It
also
has
at
least
one
subordinate
(less
important)
clause
(shown
in
blue
below).
The
subordinate
clause
cannot
stand
on
its
own.
When
the
subordinate
clause
comes
at
the
start
of
the
complex
sentence,
it
is
often
followed
by
a
comma.
When
the
subordinate
clause
comes
at
the
end
of
the
complex
sentence,
there
is
no
comma.
If
you’re
going
skiing,
take
me
along.
Take
me
along
if
you’re
going
skiing.
When
you
hear
the
buzzer,
please
take
the
chicken
out
of
the
oven.
Please
take
the
chicken
out
of
the
oven
when
you
hear
the
buzzer.

a
result
of
the
accident,

mom
had

buy
a
new
car.
My
mom
had
to
buy
a
new
car
as
a
result
of
the
accident.
A
compound
sentence
has
two
or
more
independent
clauses
(sentences)
joined
together
with
a
semicolon
(;)
or
joined
by
a
comma
and
a
conjunction
(and,
but,
or,
for,
so
yet,
nor
).
A
semicolon
joins
two
sentences
that
are
closely
related.
My
wedding
anniversary
is
July
16;
the
day
we
got
married
it
was
incredibly
hot
and
muggy.
Notice
that
everything
before
the
semicolon
forms
a
complete
sentence,
and
everything
after
the
semicolon
forms
a
complete
sentence.
The
whole
thing
is
a
compound
sentence.
Marla
Jamison
is
currently
serving
her
third
term
in
Congress,
and
Walt
Reardon
is
serving
his
second
term.
Notice
that
everything
before
the
comma
forms
a
complete
sentence,
and
everything
after
the
conjunction
(and)
forms
a
complete
sentence.
The
whole
thing
is
a
compound
sentence.
