But there is one common reason, and that is using repetitive sentence type. Also, it is the trickiest pattern to spot while writing a piece of paper.\u00a0 That is why to help you overcome this problem, today, we\u2019ll discuss four main types of sentence structure with examples.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, have a look at some of the tips to develop a better writing style:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.homeworkjoy.com\/infographics\/tips-and-learning\/tips-on-how-to-make-an-essay-longer-the-smart-way\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tips on How to Make an Essay Longer the Smart Way<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.homeworkjoy.com\/infographics\/learning\/7-common-types-of-plagiarism-in-academic-writings\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7 Common Types of Plagiarism in Academic Writings<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Basic Sentence Elements With Examples<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We use the English language without even knowing its depth. The following are some fundamental elements of a sentence that you should know for a better understanding of different types of structure sentences.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Independent Clause<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An independent clause can work as a sentence alone. Since it contains a<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homeworkjoy.com\/infographics\/learning\/main-parts-of-speech-with-examples-basics-of-grammar\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">subject and verb<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, it completes the meaning. For example, She plays football.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here \u201cShe\u201d is the subject while \u201cplays\u201d is the verb; together, they complete the whole idea of the sentence.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dependent Clause<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This clause is not a complete sentence in itself. It needs to be attached to an independent clause to complete the idea of the sentence. Therefore it is also known as a subordinate clause. For example, Because I like to eat sweets\u2026\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thus the sentence mentioned above is not complete in itself; it needs an independent clause. For example, I am fat because I like to eat sweets.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As we have understood the independent and dependent clause, we should move ahead to understand different types of structure sentences.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While reading and writing, there are four types of sentence structures that you\u2019ll come across:-\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are these with the primary example<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Simple Sentence Structure<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A simple sentence includes one independent clause containing a subject and a verb.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This type of sentence structure expresses a complete thought, making sense.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">E.g.:- Jonas likes Martha<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Compound Sentence Structure<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A compound sentence is a type of structure sentence that consists of two independent clauses<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">joined by a conjunction<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or a semicolon.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">E.g.:- Ulrich loves tea, and Hannah loves coffee<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Complex Sentence Structure<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A complex sentence is a type of structure sentence that consists of an independent clause and a dependent clause.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A subordinating conjunction joins the two kinds of sentences.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">E.g.:- I missed the bus because I was late.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Compound-complex Sentence Structure\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A compound-complex sentence is consists of two independent clauses and one or more dependent clauses.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These are joined by subordinating and coordinating conjunctions.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">E.g.:- Jonas couldn\u2019t come to school since his mom was sick, so Martha sat alone.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using language with proper grammar rules is not easy for all.
