Simple Or Compound

Worksheet Description

The Sentence Structure worksheet is an educational activity designed to help students distinguish between simple and compound sentences. Students are presented with a list of sentences and must decide the structure of each by identifying whether it is simple, containing only one independent clause, or compound, containing two or more independent clauses joined by a conjunction. There is a line provided next to each sentence where students can write their answers. This task allows students to apply their knowledge of sentence structure in a practical way.

This worksheet aims to teach students about the complexity of sentence structures in English grammar. By analyzing each sentence, students learn to recognize the difference between simple sentences, which express a single thought, and compound sentences, which combine multiple thoughts. This understanding is fundamental to developing advanced writing and reading comprehension skills. Additionally, the exercise encourages critical thinking as students must carefully read and assess each sentence to determine its structure.
