Simple and Compound Sentences (video) 
  • This standard is for students to construct their own sentences. Students should be given opportunities to compose their own sentences with proper support and guidance.

  • A simple sentence contains one independent clause. An independent clause can stand alone as a complete sentence.

    • Ex: Judy laughed.

  • A compound sentence contains two or more independent clauses joined by a conjunction.

    • Ex: Judy laughed, and Jimmy cried.

  • A complex sentence contains an independent clause and at least one dependent clause. A dependent or subordinate clause cannot stand alone and must be in the sentence with an independent clause.

    • Ex: Jimmy cried when Judy laughed.

    • Jimmy cried = independent clause; when Judy laughed = dependent clause

  • Declarative Sentences are statements and use a period as an end mark.

  • Interrogative Sentences are questions and use a question mark as an end mark.

  • Imperative Sentences issue commands or requests and use a period as an end mark.

  •  Exclamatory Sentences express strong emotions and use exclamation points as an end mark. 

Due to recursive nature of the standards, it is essential that teachers are aware of how all objectives within and between strands work together for optimal instruction.
