If you would like to a review some basic parts of speech (nouns, pronouns, articles, adjectives, adverbs, verbs, conjunctions, prepositions, etc), see the <a href=\"https:\/\/owl.purdue.edu\/owl\/general_writing\/mechanics\/parts_of_speech_overview.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Parts of Speech Overview<\/strong><\/a> at the OWL.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"import-BodyText\">The two essential parts of a sentence are the <strong>subject<\/strong> and the <strong>predicate<\/strong> (verb portion). The subject refers to the topic being discussed while the verb conveys the action or state of being expressed in the sentence. All clauses must contain both a subject and a verb; phrases, on the other hand, lack one or both a subject and a verb, so they need to relate to or modify other parts of the sentence. Main clauses, also called <strong>independent<\/strong> clauses, can stand on their own and convey an idea. <strong>Dependent<\/strong> clauses, also called <strong>subordinate<\/strong> clauses, rely on another part of the sentence for meaning and can\u2019t stand on their own.<\/p>\r\nConsider the following examples:\r\n\r\n<img class=\"wp-image-151 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/pressbooks.bccampus.ca\/knowinghome\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1298\/2018\/09\/sentence-1.jpg\" alt=\"The engineers stood around the table looking at the schematics for the machine.\" width=\"1269\" height=\"202\" \/>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sentence 1<\/strong> is a simple sentence.

The two clauses are joined by the subordinate conjunction, \u201cafter,\u201d which makes the first clause subordinate to (or dependent upon) the second one.\r\n\r\nBeing able to identify the critical parts of the sentence will help you design sentences that have a clear and effective subject-verb relationship.

In the examples above, Sentence 1 is a simple sentence, while Sentence 2 is complex.<\/p>\r\n<strong>SIMPLE SENTENCES <\/strong>have one main clause (one subject + one verb) and any number of phrases. The following are all simple sentences:\r\n<div class=\"textbox textbox--learning-objectives\">\r\n<div class=\"textbox__content\">\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>A simple sentence can be very effective.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>It makes one direct point.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>It is good for creating emphasis and clarity.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Too many in a row can sound repetitive and choppy.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Varied sentence structure sounds more natural.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<strong>COMPOUND SENTENCES<\/strong> have two or more main clauses joined by <strong>coordinating<\/strong> <strong>conjunctions<\/strong> (CC) such as <em>and, but, for, yet, nor, or, so<\/em><em> (FANBOYS)<\/em>. You can also connect them using punctuation such as a semi-colon or a colon.
