Answer:
I took the dog for a long walk. - simple
The dog ran happily through the park because he had been stuck in the house all day. - complex
He stopped to smell several flowers, and he chased a rabbit. - compound
Explanation:
<u>A simple sentence is constituted of a only one independent clause</u>.<u> It has a subject and a predicate, and it expresses a complete thought. </u>That is what we have in "I took the dog for a long walk."
<u>A complex sentence is formed by joining two clauses, one independent and the other dependent/subordinate.</u> <u>The dependent clause needs the independent one to make sense, since it does not express a complete thought on its own.</u> That is what we have in "The dog ran happily through the park because he had been stuck in the house all day." The subordinating conjunction "because" introduces the dependent clause.
<u>A compound sentence is formed by joining two independent clauses connected by a coordinating conjunction - for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so.</u> That is what happens in "He stopped to smell several flowers, and he chased a rabbit." In this case, the conjunction is "and".

Answer: Language arts websites
1. Education.com – The link will point you directly to building sentences worksheets. Education.com offers free resources for other subjects, as well, so this is a site that you’ll see again in my free homeschooling resources posts. You will need to sign up with Education.com in order to download the free worksheets.
2. School Express – School Express has lots of free worksheets, again on various subjects. The worksheet are colorful and appealing to children. I’ve printed many worksheets from this site to supplement language arts lessons.
3. Grammar Girl – Still confused about whom vs who? If you want to check your grammar facts before teaching them to your children, Grammar Girl is your best friend. Housed on the Quick and Dirty Tips website, Grammar Girl offers articles and a podcast to enrich your grammar knowledge.
4. Mr. Nussbaum – This website is fun, fun, fun! If your kiddos learn well by playing (like most kiddos do!) you need to check out Mr. Nussbaum. The language arts games here teach spelling, typing, grammar and more. This is one of the best play-and-learn websites around.
5. Fun Brain – I know you’ve probably already heard of Fun Brain. It’s one of the most popular of the free education sites, but it deserves a mention on my first go-around of free homeschooling resources. Fun Brain offers a lot of language arts (and other subjects) games. If you’ve never used it or it’s been a while, go give it a look-see!
