Edit Forms
There are three forms of a sentence: simple, compound, and complex, and one combined form: compound-complex.
Edit Simple
This is a simple sentence.
Edit Compound
umesh is a bad boy. so don't any one talk to him.
Edit= Complex
Use a dependent and independent clause to make a complex sentence.
"Because I am hungry, I will eat now."
"I will eat now" is independent and can be a sentence by itself.
"Becuase I am hungry" is dependent because it cannot be by itself; it needs an independent clause with it.
The sentence can be reversed to make: "I will eat now because I am hungry."
Notice the comma in the first sentence is missing from the second sentence. If the dependent clause is first, there is a comma. If the dependent clause is second, there is no comma.
