Study the differences between compound and complex sentences.
Right. Now you seem to be getting the hang of this. :-)
To identify the sentence type, you need to analyze the structure and components of the sentence. In this case, the sentence is:
"I was not surprised when I learned that."
To determine the sentence type, let's break it down:
Subject: "I" (singular pronoun)
Verb: "was" (past tense of the verb "to be")
Complement: "not surprised when I learned that" (a phrase describing the subject)
Based on this structure, we can classify the sentence as a simple sentence. A simple sentence contains a single independent clause, which means it has one subject and one verb and can stand alone as a complete thought.
Compound sentences usually contain two independent clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction (e.g., "and," "but," "or"). Complex sentences typically include an independent clause and one or more dependent clauses. Compound-complex sentences combine the features of both compound and complex sentences.
In the given sentence, there is no coordination or subordination, so it is a simple sentence.
