Guided Notes
3 key concepts
- 1
A simple sentence contains only one independent clause, while a compound sentence contains two independent clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction.
- 2
A complex sentence contains one independent clause and at least one dependent clause, which begins with a subordinating conjunction.
- 3
A dependent clause cannot stand alone as a sentence because it begins with a subordinating conjunction.
