Write CX before each complex sentence. Write CP before each compound sentence.

I need to know whether or not they are correct.

1. (CX) The workers who patrolt he park must know every centimeter of the grounds.

2. (CX) Saul and Mike get together whenever they can.

3. (CX) That song, which you keep hearing on the radio, was written by a Canadian.

4. (CP) When it started to snow, everyone headed for the ski hill.

5. (CP) The town was ont he map, but all you could see was an overpass.

6. (CX) The mayor, who was elected in November, said taxes won't rise.

7. (CP) When she arrives, Miranda will take charge.

PS: For the ones that are CX, please state which part of the sentence is independant if possible.

Thanks,

The only compound sentence is # 5.

The others are complex because they have dependent clauses.

To find the independent clauses, look for the parts of the sentence that can stand alone.

For instance, in the first sentence, the dependent clause is: The workers must know every centimeter of the grounds.

Okay.

But don't you mean independant, since: "The workers must know every centemeter of the grounds." Can stand alone. And: "who patrol the park" is dependant.

Thanks for helping.

1. (CX) The workers who patrol the park must know every centimeter of the grounds.

Explanation: This is a complex sentence because it contains a dependent clause ("who patrol the park") which cannot stand alone as a complete sentence. The independent clause is "The workers must know every centimeter of the grounds."

2. (CP) Saul and Mike get together whenever they can.

Explanation: This is a compound sentence because it contains two independent clauses connected by the coordinating conjunction "and."

3. (CX) That song, which you keep hearing on the radio, was written by a Canadian.

Explanation: This is a complex sentence because it contains a dependent clause ("which you keep hearing on the radio") which cannot stand alone as a complete sentence. The independent clause is "That song was written by a Canadian."

4. (CP) When it started to snow, everyone headed for the ski hill.

Explanation: This is a compound sentence because it contains two independent clauses connected by the subordinating conjunction "when."

5. (CP) The town was on the map, but all you could see was an overpass.

Explanation: This is a compound sentence because it contains two independent clauses connected by the coordinating conjunction "but."

6. (CX) The mayor, who was elected in November, said taxes won't rise.

Explanation: This is a complex sentence because it contains a dependent clause ("who was elected in November") which cannot stand alone as a complete sentence. The independent clause is "The mayor said taxes won't rise."

7. (CP) When she arrives, Miranda will take charge.

Explanation: This is a compound sentence because it contains two independent clauses connected by the subordinating conjunction "when."
