For writing this week I have learnt that there are three types of sentences. These are simple, compound and complex sentences.
A simple sentence is a sentence that only contains one main verb. For example, he ran to the park.
A compound sentence has more than one verb. The sentence has at least two major independent clauses. They can be joined by a semicolon, or a comma and coordinating conjunction such as ‘but’, ‘and’ and ‘so’: example, Jake realized his tire was flat, so he quickly went to pump up his tire
A complex sentence is a sentence that contains subordinate clauses that helps add more detail and information to a sentence. The subordinate clause can go at the start, in the middle or at the end of the sentence: For example;
Bob wanted to swim in the ocean, even though the waves and wind were rough.
Bob, even though the waves and wind were rough wanted to swim in the ocean
Even though the waves and wind were rough Bob wanted to swim in the ocean

To support my learning I ask you to comment as follows:
1. Something positive - Begin with a greeting. Talk about something you like about what I have shared.
2. Thoughtful - A comment that will mean something to me to let me know you read/watched or listened to what I had to say. - use any language.
3. Something helpful - Give me some ideas for next time or ask me a question.
