Respuesta :

Simple Sentence - The teacher took the students to the art museum.

A simple sentence uses the structure Subject+Verb+complete thought. In this sentence the subject is teacher and the verb is took. The rest of the sentence completes the thought.

Compound Sentence - Mary has a terrible toothache, but she doesn't want to go to the dentist.

A compound sentence combines two sentences into one using a coordinating conjunction. Coordinating conjunctions are For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yes, So.

Complex Sentence - Because the weather was hot and humid, the children went to the river for a swim.

A complex sentences contains a dependent clause and an independent clause. The dependent clause is "Because the weather was hot and humid". It is not a complete thought because it uses the subordinating conjunction - because.

Compound-Complex Sentence - Although there was strong opposition, Allen Ginsberg's poem "Howl" was published in 1956, and it's considered one of the greatest contributions to modern literature.

A compound-complex sentence includes the traits of both compound and complex sentences. It has a dependent clause: "Although there was strong opposition". It contains two independent clauses the first with the subject "poem" and the verb phrase "was published". The complete idea starts with the subject "it" and contains the verb phrase "is considered".
