Complex and Compound SentencesA simple sentence, also called an independent clause,

contains a subject and a verb, and it expresses a complete thought.Example: Mark plays football every afternoon.

A compound sentence contains two independent clauses joined by a conjunction.Example: I tried to speak Spanish, and my friend tried to

speak English.A complex sentence has an independent clause joined by

one or more dependent clauses. A complex sentence always has a subordinator such as because, since, after, although, or when.Example: After they finished studying, John and Sarah

went to the movies.

Agreement with Subject-VerbWhen the subject of a sentence

is composed of two or more nouns or pronouns connected by “and,” use a plural verb.

When two or more singular nouns or pronouns are connected by “or,” use a singular verb.

When a compound subject contains both a singular and a plural noun or pronoun joined by “or” the verb should agree with the part of the subject that is closest to the verb.

He and his friends are at the game.

The paper or the pen is in the desk.

The boy or his friends eat fruit.

His friends or the boy eats fruit.
