SENTENCES 
AND 
CLAUSES
AA SSeenntteennccee iiss ddeeffiinneedd:: 
By Meaning, a sentence is a “complete 
thought” 
By Function, a sentence consists of a 
subject and a predicate 
Then….. 
A Sentence is a full predication 
containing a subject plus a 
predicate with a finite verb.

Declarative Sentences (Statements) 
In a declarative sentence the subject and predicate 
have normal word order. The sentence ends with a 
period (called full stop in British English) 
- The child ate his dinner. 
- John blows a candle.
Interrogative Sentences (Questions) 
In an interrogative sentence the subject 
and the auxiliary are often reversed. The 
sentence ends with a question mark in 
writing. In spoken language, most Y/N 
questions end with a rise pitch; most 
interrogative-word questions end with a 
fall pitch. 
- Did the child eat his dinner? 
- What does John blow?
Imperative Sentences (Command, 
Request) 
In an imperative sentence, only the 
predicate is expressed. The simple form 
of the verb is used, regardless of person 
or tense. The imperative sentence ends 
with period in writing. 
- Eat your dinner. 
- Fold the paper.
Exclamatory Sentences (Exclamations) 
Such sentences begin with an exclamatory phrase 
consisting of what or how plus a part of the predicate. 
The exclamatory phrase is followed by the subject and 
the balance of the predicate. 
What is used when a noun terminates the 
exclamatory phrase. 
- What beautiful hair she has! 
How is used when an adjective or adverb 
terminates the exclamatory phrase. 
- How beautiful she is! 
- How beautifully she behaves!

 SIMPLE SENTENCES 
Such sentences have only one full predication in 
the form of an independent clause. 
- The man stole the jewelry. 
COMPOUND SENTENCES 
Such sentences have two or more full 
predications in the form of independent clauses. 
- The man stole the jewelry and he hid it in 
his home.
COMPLEX SENTENCES 
Such sentences also have two or more 
full predications. One of these is an 
independent clause (or main clause) that 
is similar to the form of the simple 
sentence, and one or more of these are 
dependent clause (or subordinate clause) 
- The man who stole the jewelry hid it in his 
home.
COMPOUND-COMPLEX SENTENCES 
It contains two or more independent 
clauses and one or more dependent 
clauses. 
- The man stole the jewelry and he hid it 
in his home until he could safely get out 
of town. 
“The independent clause in all four classes of 
sentences may take the form of statement, 
question, request, or exclamation.”
CCLLAAUUSSEESS 
A clause may be defined in the same way as a 
sentence: It is a full predication that contains a 
subject and a predicate with a finite verb. 
There are two kinds of clauses, independent 
and dependent. 
The independent clause is a full predication that 
may stand alone as a sentence. 
The dependent clause has a special 
introductory word that makes the predication 
‘depend’ on an independent clause.
IInnddeeppeennddeenntt CCllaauusseess 
((iinn ccoommppoouunndd sseenntteenncceess)) 
Full predications may be joined 
coordinately by punctuation alone, 
coordinate conjunction, or by conjunctive 
adverb. 
- John was sick; he didn’t come to school. 
- John was sick, so he didn’t come to 
school. 
- John was sick; therefore, he didn’t come 
to school.
DDeeppeennddeenntt CCllaauusseess 
((iinn CCoommpplleexx SSeenntteenncceess)) 
In a dependent clause, the full predication is 
altered in such a way that the clause must be 
attached to another clause, an independent 
clause. The alteration may be an added 
introductory word (after, before, etc.) or a 
change in the form of the subject or object 
(who, that, etc.). 
There are three types of dependent clauses, 
named according to their function in the 
sentence.
11.. AAddvveerrbbiiaall CCllaauussee 
Most types of adverbial clauses are considered 
as modifying the verb of the main clause. A few 
types, such as clauses of time or place are 
sometimes interpreted as modifiers of the 
entire sentences. 
Like an adverb, the adverbial clause has three 
possible position; initial position, mid position, 
or final position.

There are two types of clauses of 
contrast; concessive and adversative 
Concessive clause offers a partial 
contrast, it states a reservation that does 
not invalidate the truth of the main

contrast that may range all the way to
