Simple, Compound, Complex
Simple Sentences
(Independent Clauses)
(Independent Clauses)
Compound Sentences

You CAN NOT use a semicolon with a conjunction. You must chose one or the other.
Watch the video below for a better explanation.
REMEMBER . . .
Do not confuse compound sentences with a simple sentence that has a compound subject or predicate.

Compound Subjects and Compound Predicates are different from a Compound Sentence.
Complex Sentences
Independent Clause + Dependent Clause
