The beauty of sentences lies in clarity, the
choice of words and how effectively the thought flows.
If words are pearls then a great sentence can be described as a beautiful pearl necklace.
Слайд 3
Sentences convey more than meaning; they convey style.
Now, when writing sentences, it must be understood that
it consists of two important constituents-structure and purpose.
Слайд 4
The structure of a sentence and, the purpose
in which it is used, both go a long
way in forwarding its meaning.
That is why it is important to know, that in how many ways a sentence can be composed.
Слайд 5
The entire written language depends on the type
of its sentences. Only when one knows the various
types then he/she can play with words, thoughts and ideas. In any form of writing, it is the sentences that are the building blocks of the structure of the copy.
Слайд 6
Sentences are categorized in two ways: by structure
and by purpose.
Слайд 7
Types of Sentences by Structure:
Simple Sentence
Compound Sentence
Complex Sentence
Complex-Compound
Sentence
Слайд 8
Simple Sentence
In this type of sentence, there is
only one independent clause and no dependent clause. The
sentence contains a subject and a verb and expresses a complete thought. Simple sentences can also contain compound subjects and/or verbs but it doesn't contain any conjunction.
Some students (subject) like (verb) to study in the mornings.
Juan (subject) plays (verb) football every afternoon.
Alicia (subject) goes (verb) to the library and studies (verb) every day.
Слайд 9
Compound Sentence
In this type of sentence, there are
multiple independent clauses and no dependent clause. All the
clauses are joined together by coordinating conjunctions and/or punctuations. Here, the relationship between the two independent clauses can be changed by the proper use of coordinating conjunctions.
Слайд 10

Слайд 11
Complex Sentence
This type of sentence consists of
at least one independent clause and one dependent clause.
One characteristic of complex sentence is that it has a relative pronoun like 'that', 'who' or 'which' or a subordinator like 'because', 'since', 'when', 'although' or 'after'. If the complex sentence begins with a subordinator then a comma is placed after the dependent clause. When the sentence begins with an independent clause and the subordinators are in the middle, then there is no need to place a comma after the dependent clause.

Other Types Of Sentences
Major Sentence
A major
sentence has two components-a subject and a predicate. It
is, in short, any regular sentence.

Minor Sentence
Any irregular sentence is known
as a minor sentence. It also does not have
any finite verb. Minor sentence may include stereotyped expressions, proverbs, emotional expressions, headings, etc. Nominal sentences, like catchphrases, can also be called minor sentences and they do not include any verbs. This intensifies the meaning around the nouns.
