simple and compound sentences
In the big book, "Is the Wise Owl Wise?", we will be learning about simple and compound sentences.
Simple Sentences
A simple sentence contains a single subject and predicate. It describes only one thing, idea or question, and has only one verb - it contains only an independent (main) clause.
Any independent clause can stand alone as a sentence. It has a subject and a verb and expresses a complete thought.
For example:
•Jill reads.
Compound Sentences
Compound sentences are made up of two or more simple sentences combined using a conjunction such as and, or or but.
For example:
"The sun was setting in the west and the moon was just rising."
Each clause can stand alone as a sentence.
For example:
"The sun was setting in the west. The moon was just rising."
Every clause is like a sentence with a subject and a verb.
For example:
•I walked to the shops, but my husband drove.
•I might watch the film, or I might visit my friends.
•My friend enjoyed the film, but she didn't like the actor.
We will be going through some examples in class tomorrow using the learning sheets.
Here are some games for you to practise at home:
