Types

There are four main types of sentence structures in English: simple, compound, complex, and compound-complex. 

Each one has its own specific purpose and function.

Definition

• Simple sentences are the shortest and most basic type of sentence. They typically contain one subject and one verb, and they can be expanded with adjectives, adverbs, and prepositional phrases.
• Complex sentences are made up of one independent clause and one or more dependent clauses. The dependent clause(s) can be joined to the independent clause with a subordinating conjunction or a relative pronoun.
• Compound-complex sentences are the most complicated but also the most versatile. They contain two or more independent clauses and one or more dependent clauses. Just like complex sentences, the clauses can be joined together with a subordinating conjunction or a relative pronoun.

Knowing how to use these different sentence structures is essential for clear and effective communication. So remember to mix things up and keep your audience engaged by varying your sentence structure.

Conclusion

Structure in a sentence makes the sentence more comprehensible.
