A sentence is a unit of words beginning with a capital letter, ending with a period, question mark, or exclamation mark, and contains a subject and a predicate, which includes a verb.
There are four types of sentences, which are called simple, compound, complex, and compound-complex.
A simple subject is the subject of a sentence narrowed down to one word or name.
A complete subject is a group of words put together that are related to the simple subject.
The verb can also be narrowed down to one word in a sentence. This is called the simple verb. Even though the simple verb is usually one word, it can sometimes be two or three.
The complete verb, the predicate, is a group of words that relate to the simple verb.
A simple sentence is made up of a subject and a verb.
Some sentences can be a fragment or a run-on sentence. A fragment is a group of words that look like a sentence because of the capital letter and punctuation, but isn't. The reason it isn't a sentence is because it lacks a subject, verb, or both. A run-on sentence is two or more sentences improperly joined by incorrect punctuation or no punctuation at all.
An adverb is a word that tells us more about a verb or an adjective.
Examples(the verb or adjective is underlined and the adverb is bold):
-John speaks loudly.
- He is really handsome.
A subordinating conjunction is a conjunction that introduces a subordinate, less important, clause.
Examples: although, because.
A Coordinating conjunction is a conjunction placed between words, phrases, clauses, or sentences of equal rank.
Examples: but, and, or.
Subordinating and Coordinating conjunctions are different because coordinating conjunctions introduce something that is equally ranked. Subordinating conjunctions introduce something less important.
