Today we had two classes!
The first class we studied unit two of THE WRITE PATH.
You learned about SIMPLE & COMPLEX sentences.
In the second class we did IMPACT GRAMMAR #7
HOMEWORK:
-14 sentences using subordinating conjuntions
-word box 6 sentences

A simple sentence is a sentence structure that contains one independent clause and no dependent clauses.
Examples
The singer bowed.
This simple sentence has one independent clause which contains one subject, singer, and one predicate, bowed.
The baby cried.
This simple sentence has one independent clause which contains one subject, baby, and one predicate, cried.
The girl ran into her bedroom.
This simple sentence has one independent clause which contains one subject, girl, and one predicate, ran into her bedroom.
In the backyard, the dog barked and howled at the cat.
This simple sentence has one independent clause which contains one subject, dog, and one predicate, barked and howled at the cat. This predicate has two verbs, known as a compound predicate: barked and howled. This compound verb should not be confused with a compound sentence. In the backyard and at the cat are prepositional phrases.

In the English language, a compound sentence is composed of at least two independent clauses, but no dependent clauses. The clauses are joined by a coordinating conjunction (with or without a comma), a correlative conjunction (with or without a comma), or a semicolon with no conjunction.
Examples
He finally bought the book, or so I thought.
The two independent clauses are joined by a comma and the coordinating conjunction "or".
Either he goes or I go.
The compound sentence is held together by the correlative conjunction "either…or".
Mary understands math; she has studied it for years.
Here the two are joined by a semicolon with no conjunction.
