English class online : Sentenses

*1*SENTENCES:

*Simple sentence:

1-subject and verb

2-Subject+verb+object

*compound sentences: 
A compound sentence has two or more clauses joined by coordinating conjunctions: and, but, or, neither=nor, either=or………

EX1: it wasn t cold but I was shivering//he slept and I read

EX2: he neither speaks English nor understands it.

EX3: you can either go with us or stay home alone.

*complex sentences:

we create complex sentences by joining two or more clauses with subordinating conjunctions such as: because, that, which, if, although, as, in order that, since….

EX: I couldn’t sleep because I was thinking about all the work.

EX2: I have to finish my work in order that I can leave.

EX3: I hate the job which you are doing. (In order to avoid meaningless repetition).

EX4: he had worked hard for so many years in order that he could have a better life.

*complex-compound sentences: we form compound-complex

sentences with three or more clauses joined by both coordinating and subordinating conjunctions.

  EX: I was so relieved that no one else was hurt, but I hoped the driver would survive. (Relieved=feel better or comfortable).
*2*VERBS:

*Transitive verbs:

We use a transitive verb to describe an action that affects an object.

EX: i was eating a pizza.

*intransitive verbs:

Intransitive verbs are used without an object.

EX: the cat was playing.
