I have just learnt the difference between a phrase and a clause. The phrase is a group of words that doesn't have both a subject and a verb. The clause is a group of words that has both a subject and a verb.
There are four sentences structure:
simple sentence :
It consists of just one independent clause.
compound sentence:
It is made by joining simple sentence with a comma and any coordinating conjunctions.
complex sentence:
It is made by joining simple sentence with a comma and any subordinating conjunctions.
compound complex sentence :
It is made when we combine a complex sentence and compound sentence or simple sentence.
There are two types of clauses :
Independent clause: ( contains a subject and verb ) ( stands on its own )
- Dependent clause: ( contains a subject and verb ) ( can't stands on its own. begins with a dependent marker )
There are four types of sentences :
- Declarative sentences : It is used to communicate or make statements.
- Interrogative sentences : It is used to ask questions.
- Imperative sentences : It is used to give orders or directives.
- Exclamatory sentences : It is used to express great emotion or excitement.
