What is Transformation of Sentences ( SIMPLE, COMPOUND, AND COMPLEX) ?

Transformation of Sentences:

                     ( SIMPLE, COMPOUND, AND COMPLEX)

A Simple Sentence.                                                                                                                                                                     

Def: - A Simple sentence is one which has only one Subject and one Predicate.

[Or] A simple sentence is one which has only one Subject and one Predicate.

Next, sentence 2 consists of two parts :

(i) The star was bright.

(ii) We could sec our way.

These two parts are joined by the Coordinating Conjunction and.

Each part contains a Subject and a predicate of its own. Each part is what we call a

Clause.

We further notice that each Clause makes good sense by itself, and hence could stand by

itself as a separate sentence. Each clause is therefore independent of the other or of the

same order or rank and is called A principal or Main Clause.

A sentence, such as the second, which is made up of Principal or Main Clauses, is called

A Compound Sentence.

Sentence 3 consists of three Clauses of the same order or rank. In other words, sentence 3 consists of three A principal or Main Clauses, viz:

(i) Night came on

(ii) Rain fell heavily

(iii) We all got very wet. Such a sentence is also called a Compound sentence.

Def:- A Compound sentence is one made up of two or more Principal or Main Clauses. Sentence 4 consists of two parts:-

(i) They rested.

(ii) When the evening came.

Each part contains a Subject and a The predicate of its own, and forms part of a large sentence. Each part is therefore a Clause.

We further notice that the Clause, They rested, makes good sense by itself, and hence could stand by itself as a complete sentence. It is therefore called the Principal or Main

Clause.

The Clause, when evening came, cannot stand by itself and make good sense. It is dependent on the Clause, they rested. It is therefore called a Dependent or Subordinate

Clause.

A Complex Sentence

A sentence, such as the fourth, is called a Complex Sentence.

Sentence 5 consists of three clauses:-                             

(i) The people said. (Main Clause).

(ii) As the boxers advanced into the ring. (Subordinate Adverb Clause.)

(iii) They would not allow them to fight. (Subordinate Noun Clause.)

Such a sentence is also called a Complex sentence.

Def:- A Complex sentence consists of one Main Clause and one or more Subordinate Clauses.
