What I Learned Today

Today, in ESL class i have learned about complex sentence, compound sentence, and run-on sentence. Compound sentence is 2 or more complete sentences in one sentence, and we do some exercise about compound sentence.

Example of Compound sentence:
I like to play basketball, but my friend like to play soccer.

Complex sentence is sentence that a independent clause and dependent clause joined together in one sentence. Independent sentence is sentence that is by themselves or a sentence that make sense. Dependent sentence is sentence that depend on other sentence or sentence that doesn't make sense. Then, we do some exercise about it for the example

Example of Complex sentence:
I love to play basketball, so I joined the basketball team.

Run-on sentence is 2 or more sentence, but didn't have comma or the sentence is too long. Then, we do some exercise about it for the example.

Example of Run-on sentence:
I love to play basketball so I joined the basketball team and I joined the tournament.
