compound and compound-complex sentence
COMPOUND SENTENCE AND COMPOUND COMPLEX SENTENCE
Hello guys…welcome back in my blog. Now we will discuss about COMPOUND SENTENCE AND COMPOUND-COMPLEX SENTENCE. Let’s study together…
#COMPOUND SENTENCE#
A compound sentence refers to a sentence made up of two independent clauses (or complete sentences) connected to one another with a COORDINATING CONJUCTION. Coordinating conjunctions are easy to remerber if you think of the words “FANBOYS” (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so).
A compound sentence contains at least two independent clauses. These two independent clauses can be combined with a COMMA and a COORDINATING CONJUNCTION or with a SEMICOLON.
COORDINATING CONJUNSTIONS (FANBOYS)
Example:
Joe waited for the train, BUT the train was late.
Mary and Samantha arrived at the bus station before noon, AND they left on the bus before I arrived.
Mary and Samantha left on the bus before I arrived, SO I did not see them at the bus station.
Coordinating conjunctions are useful for connecting sentences, but compound sentences often are overused. While coordinating conjunctions can indicate some type of relationship between the two independent clauses in the sentence, they sometimes do not indicate much of a relationship.
CORRELATIVE CONJUNCTIONS
These conjunctions, as seen in the case of compound subjects and predicates, are used in pairs.
Either…..or…
Neither….nor…
Both ……and….
Not only…. But also…
CONJUNCTIVE ADVERBS
These adverbs, like coordinate and correlative conjunctions, are used to connect basic sentence patterns and make compound sentences.
- Also - besides
- Next - finally
- Anyway - then
TRANSITIONAL EXPRESSIONS
These expressions are usually prepositional phrase used as adverbs
After all - in fact
For instance - on the other hand
For example - In addition
EXAMPLES:
BOTH Reza AND Yogi are in love with my sister
We should turn our assignment before 12 o’clock; OTHERWISE, the professor will not accepted them.
Not Indonesian muslims go back to their hometown for Iedul Adha; FOR INSTANCE, students who study and live abroad stay in their respective country presidence.
#COMPOUND-COMPLEX SENTENCE#
Sentence types can also be combined. A compound-complex sentence contains at least TWO independent clauses and at least ONE dependent clause.
Examples:
She completed her literature review, BUT she still needs to work on her methods section even though she finished her methods course last semester.
Although he organized his sources by theme, he decided to arrange them chronologically, AND he carefully followed the meal plan for organization.
With pizza and soda at hand, they studied APA rules for many hours, AND they decided that writing in APA made sense because it was clear, consise, and objective.
#SENTENCE STRUCTURE#
In grammar, Sentence clause structure commonly known as sentence composition is the classification of sentences based on the number and kinds of clauses in their syntactic structure. There are four sentence structures, those are:
1). Simple sentence
Simple sentence contains only one independent clause
2). Compound sentence
Compound sentence contains at least two independent clauses. These clauses are joined by a coordinating conjunction or a semicolon.
3). Complex sentence
Complex sentence contains a subordinate clause and an independent clause.
4).Compound-complex sentence
These are sort of like a mash-up of compound sentences and complex sentences. They contain at least two independent clauses and at least subordinate clause.

simple sentence and complex sentence
Hello good people!! Good morning, how are you today? Let’s learn about SIMPLE SENTENCE AND COMPLEX SENTENCE
SIMPLE SENTENCE AND COMPLEX SENTENCE
SIMPLE SENTENCE
A simple sentence has the most basic elements that make it a sentence. A Simple sentence contains a subject and a verb, and it may also have an object and modifiers. However, it can contains only one independent clause.
Example:
Joe waited for the train
“Joe”= subject, “waited”= verb
The train was late
“the train”= subject, “was”= verb
Mary and Samantha took the bus
“Mary and Samantha”= compound subject, “took”= verb
I looked for Mary and Samantha at the bus station
“I”= subject, “looked”= verb
Mary and Samantha arrived at the bus station early but waited until noon for the bus.
“Mary and Samantha”= compound subject, “arrived” and “waited”= compound verb
A simple sentence can also be referred to as INDEPENDENT CLAUSE. It is referred to as “independent” because, while it might be part of a compound or complex sentence, it can also stand by itself as a complete sentence.
COMPLEX SENTENCE
A complex sentence contains at least one “independent clause” and at least one “dependent clause”. DEPENDENT CLAUSE can refer to the subject (who, which) the sequence/time (since, while), or the causal elements (because, if) of the independent clause.
if a sentence begins with a dependent clause, note the comma after this clause. If, on the other hand, the sentence begins with an independent clause, there is not a comma separating the two clauses.
Dependent clauses such as those above cannot stand alone as a sentence, but they can be added to an independent clause to form a complex sentence. Dependent clauses begin with SUBORDINATING CONJUNCTIONS. Below are some of the most common subordinating conjunctions: (after, although, as, because, before, even though, if, since, though, unless, until, when, whenever, whereas, wherever, while).
Example:
ALTHOUGH she completed her literature review, she still needed to work on her methods section.
(note the comma in this sentence because it begins with a dependent clause)
BECAUSE he organized his sources by theme, it was easier for his readers to follow.
(note the comma in this sentence because it begins with a dependent clause)
They studied APA rules for many hours as they were so interesting.
(note that there is no comma in this sentence because it begins with an independent clause)
Complex sentences are often more effective than compound sentences because a complex sentence indicates clearer and more specific relationships between the main parts of the sentence.

the clause (kinds of clauses)
Hello good people!! Now I will share a little material about the clause (kinds of clauses) that have I got it in syntax subject. Have you ever learn it? OK….let’s learn together….
THE CLAUSE (KINDS OF CLAUSES)
- A clause is a group of related words containing a subject and a predicate
For example: He laughed
- A clause refers to a group of related words (within a sentence or itself as an independent sentence) which has both subject and predicate.
For example: I will met him in office (“I” as a subject, “will meet him” as a predicate, and “in office” as a phrase).
- A clause may stand as a simple sentence or may join another clause to make a sentence. Therefore, a sentence consists of one, two or more clauses.
#KINDS OF CLAUSES#
- Clauses are divided into main clause (also called independent clause) and subordinate clauses (also called dependent clause).
1).Main or Independent clause
Main or independent clause is a clause that expresses a complete thought and can stand as a sentence.
Example: I met the boy who had helped me
The teacher asked a question but no one answered
in the above sentences expresses complete though and can stand as a sentence that is why a main or an independent clause is normally referred as a simple sentence.
2).Subordinate or independent clause
-.Subordinate (dependent) clause is a clause which does not express complete thought and depends on another clause (main clause) to express complete thought.
- Subordinate clause does not express complete idea and can’t stand as a sentence. A sentence having a subordinate clause must have a main clause.
Example: he likes Chinese rice which tastes good
I met the boy who had helped me
In above sentences are a subordinate clauses because it does not express complete though and can’t stand as a sentence. It depends on main clause (he likes Chinese rice) to express complete thought.
- Subordinate (dependent) clauses are further divided into three types those are:
1). Noun clause
A noun clause performs same function like a noun in a sentence.
Example: what he did made a problem for his family
In above sentence the clause “what he did” function as a noun, hence it is a noun clause. A noun clause works as a noun that acts as a subject, object, or predicate in a sentence. A noun clause starts with words “that, what, whatever, who, whom, whoever, whomever.
Example: whatever you learn will help you in future
2). Adjective clause
An adjective clause works like adjective in a sentence. The function of an adjective is to modify (describe) a noun or a pronoun. Similarly a noun clause modifies a noun or a pronoun.
Example: he wears a shirt which looks nice
The clause “which looks nice” in above sentence is an adjective clause because it modifies noun “shirt” in the sentence. An adjective clause always precedes the noun it modifiers.
Example: an apple that smells bad is rotten
Adjective clause begins with relative pronoun (that, who, whom, whose, which, or whose).
. Adjective (relative) clause can be restrictive clause or nonrestrictive clause
- A restrictive clause limits the meaning of preceding noun or pronoun
. Example: the student in the class who studied a lot passed the test
- A nonrestrictive clause tells us something about preceding noun or pronoun but does not limit the meaning of preceding noun or pronoun
Example: the student in the class who attended all the lectures, passed the test
. 3). Adverb clause
An adverb clause like an adverb modifies a verb, adjective clause or other adverb clause in a sentence. It modifies (describes) the situation in main clause in term of “time”, frequency (how often), cause and effect, contrast, condition, intensity (to what extent).
. The subordinating conjunctions used for adverb clauses are as follows:
- Time: when, whenever, since, until, before, after,etc
- Cause and effect: because, since, now that, as long as
- Contrast: although, even, whereas, while, though
- Condition: if, unless, only if, whether or not, efen if, etc
Example: don’t go before he comes

noun phrase and verb phrase
Hello guys, how are you today? welcome back to my blog...
Masih semangat gak nih tuk belajar bahasa inggris guys?let's study together 😇 now i Will share a lesson material about noun phrase and verb phrase that i have got it in english syntax subject. Oke.
NOUN PHRASE
- Noun phrase (NP) is a group of related words that can act as a single noun-like within unity in a sentence. Noun phrase start with determiners which are placed at the beginning of noun phrase.
- noun phrase is just a noun or a pronoun. For example: I am tired
- or a determiner and a noun. For example: those houses are very expensive
- sometimes, the noun phrases begins with a quantifier. For example: some people spend a lot of money
- the noun phrase is built up in this way:
1). Noun: people, money
2). Determiner + Noun: the village, a house, our friends
3). Quantifier + Noun: some people, a lot of money
4). Determiner + Adjective + Noun: our closest friends, a new house
5). Quantifier + Determiner + Noun: all those children
6). Quantifier + Determiner + Adjective + Noun: both of my younger brothers
#*Noun Phrase Patterns*#
Match the noun phrases in brackets to the patterns. A: Adjective, D: Determiner, N: Noun, Q: Quantifier.
Q - D - N N Q - D - A - N D - N
Q - N D - A - N
Example: (elephants) are the largest land animals
Some words and phrases come after the noun. These are called POSTMODIFIERS. A noun phrase can be postmodified in several ways. Here are some examples:
- with a prepositional phrase: the house "on the corner"
- with an -ing phrase: the boy "talking to Angela"
- with a relative clause: the man "we met yesterday"
- with a to -infinitive: you should take "something to read"
VERB PHRASE
Verb phrases are verbs that are made up of more than one word. Verb phrases consist of a main verb alone, or a main verb plus any modal or auxiliary verbs ( helping verbs). Those helping verbs are: could, would, should, can, will, shall, may, might, must, did, do, does, and forms of " to be" (was, were, am, are, is, have been, has been, will be, will have been, and being).
#Phrase#
- is a group of words that have a function in a sentence
- is compound word that doesn't consist of subject and verb
Verb phrase is consist of an auxiliary and a main verb
a). Main verb: we "are" here, she "saws" the accident
b). The auxiliary verb be and a main verb in the -ing form: we were "laughing"
c). The auxiliary verb have and a main verb in the past participle form: I "had finished" my work, everybody "has prepared" well
d). A modal verb (can, could, may, should, will, shall, must) and a main verb: they will "come", I can "get" it
#Intermediate 1#
- the auxiliary verbs have and been and a main verb in the -ing
Auxiliary have been -ing form: everybody has been working hard
- a verb phrase with have, been and the -ing form expressed both perfect and continuous aspect. A verb with have/has expresses present perfect continuous and a verb with had expresses past perfect continuous.
#Intermediate 2#
A modal verb and the auxiliaries be, have and have been
Modal auxiliary verb: they will be listening
#Intermediate 3#
The auxiliary verb be and a main verb in the past participle form
Auxiliary be, past participle: the work will be finished soon
A verb phrase with be and the past participle expresses PASSIVE VOICE
#Advanced#
We can use the auxiliaries DO and DID with the infinitive for:
#Emphasis#
Iya DO love you
#Polite Invitations#
DO COME and see us some time
Thank you...
See you soon..

That all are the definition of adverbial phrase, adjective phrase, and prepositional phrase. If you want to know more about this, we can study use tree diagram. Do you know what is the tree diagram?
Tree diagram is one of the technique analyse sentence structure. Please look at the tree diagram below:
1).She wrote a message on the wall
This sentence is consists of NP (noun phrase) and VP (verb phrase). NP has pronoun, that is "she". VP consists of verb "wrote" and NP (det: a, and Noun: message). Prepositional phrase (PP) is consist of preposition "on" and NP (det: the, and noun: wall).
