Question

To write a passage using all four basic sentence structures, what types of sentences would you need to include ?

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Simple, compound, complex, and compound-complex

Explanation:

There are four basic sentence structures:

• Simple sentence - a sentence that consists of one independent clause;
• Compound sentence - a sentence that consists of two or more independent clauses connected by a comma and coordinating conjunction or by a semicolon;
• Complex sentence - a sentence that consists of one independent clause and at least one dependent (subordinate) clause;
• Compound-complex sentence - a sentence that consists of at least two independent clauses and at least one dependent clause.

The terms combined sentence and compact sentence don't exist.
