Simple Sentences :
We can categorize sentences into four main types, depending on the number and type of clauses they contain:
1. Simple (one independent clause):

2. Compound (more than one independent clause):

3. Complex (one independent clause and at least one dependent clause):

4. Compound-complex (more than one independent clause and at least one dependent clause):
