Topic Content:

  • Revision of Complex Sentences
  • Meaning of Compound Sentence
  • Linking Main Clauses

In our previous lessons on types of sentences, we considered complex sentences. We learnt that a complex sentence has a main clause and one or more subordinate clauses.

Examples:

1. She fainted when she saw the lion

She fainted – main clause

When she saw the lion – subordinate clause

2. The man who killed the lion was honoured when he brought the animal home.

Compound Sentences I – Evaluation

Read the following passage carefully and note the coordinating conjunctions that have been emphasized.

Ada went to the market last week and bought a pair of shoes. Bisi later saw the shoes and admired them very much. She went to buy a pair for herself but she could not find her size.

Ada likes the shoes very much and so does Bisi. Bisi can wear the shoes because she is Ada’s friend. Ada is fond of wearing the shoes and  Bisi is, too. Ada never likes to leave the shoes alone and Bisi does not either. Unfortunately, the shoes are losing colour fast. Ada does not like what is happening to the shoes and neither does Bisi.
