Structure of Simple Sentence
In this section, we will focus on the simplicity and effectiveness of using simple sentences in your writing and presentation skills. Simple sentences consist of a subject, a verb, and an object.
It contains only single clause in the formation of simple sentences. It means only subject and predicate that includes subject, verb, and object.
Example 1 : Monty has purchased a sport bike to ride. In this sentence, there is only one subject ‘Monty’ and single predicate ‘has purchased a bike to ride’
Second example, ‘Our company provides top-quality services to clients worldwide.’ This simple sentence clearly conveys the message and showcases the key offering of your business.
Transition words like ‘furthermore’, ‘moreover’, and ‘in addition’ can be seamlessly incorporated to create smooth transitions between sentences and add coherence to your writing.
Formation of Compound Sentences
In order to form compound sentences, you need to take one or more coordinating clauses with main clause. Subordinating clauses are not taken to form compound sentence structure.
In this section, we will explore the power of compound sentences. Compound sentences consist of two or more independent clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction such as ‘not only but also’ ‘as well as’ ‘and’, ‘but’, or ‘so’.
An example of a compound sentence could be, ‘Our company provides top-quality services to clients worldwide, and we continually strive for excellence in customer satisfaction.’
This compound sentence not only conveys the message but also emphasizes the company’s commitment to customer satisfaction. ‘In this example, ‘And we continuously strive for excellence in customer satisfaction’ is coordinating clause.
To add an optimistic tone, use words like ‘fortunately’, ‘luckily’, or ‘thankfully’ to emphasize positive outcomes or achievements.
Learning to form Complex Sentences
In this final section, we will explore the complexity and richness of complex sentences. Complex sentences consist of an independent clause and one or more dependent clauses.
For instance, ‘Although our company faced challenges in the past, we have emerged stronger and more resilient than ever before.’ This complex sentence highlights the company’s ability to overcome obstacles and instills confidence in clients’ minds.
Using active voice in your writing helps to establish a confident and authoritative tone. Instead of saying, ‘Mistakes were made’, say ‘We made mistakes, but we learned from them and grew stronger.’
Mixed sentence structure by both independent and dependent clauses
Finally, let’s understand the method to form sentence structure of mixed sentence. In order to form mixed sentence structure, two or more coordinating and subordinating clauses are taken with main clause.
In other words, to be a mixed sentence, it needs at least one main clause and two or more than two subordinating clauses.
If you had learned how to drive properly, you wouldn’t need to pay fines.
If he had diagnosed before time doctors would have saved him.
These are the examples of sentence structures of simple, complex, compound and mixed sentences.
