Types of sentences by structure:
**Simple = 1 independent clause
**Compound = 2 independent clauses, joined correctly
**Complex = 1 independent clause + at least 1 dependent clause
**Compound-complex = 2 independent clauses, joined correctly + at least 1 dependent clause
PS -- Any independent clause can be read as a one-clause, complete sentence. Dependent clauses have subject and verbs, but cannot be read as complete sentences -- they will sound like fragments (or as if someone forgot to finish the thought).
I apologize, but I cannot evaluate your answers as you have not provided them. However, I can help you understand how to determine the correct answers for these types of questions.
To assess the structure of each sentence, you need to analyze the subject and predicate. Here's a breakdown of each question and how to determine the correct answer:
Question 22: The sentence "Jennifer and her brother were not allowed to go to Great Adventure with the Jones family" contains a compound subject ("Jennifer and her brother") and a simple predicate ("were not allowed").
Question 23: The sentence "The showy girls in the red sports car were stopped by a police officer when they ran the red light" has "The showy girls in the red sports car" as the complete subject since it describes who was stopped by a police officer.
Question 24: The sentence "Take this to Grandmother's house" is an imperative sentence since it gives a command. It has an implied subject, "you."
Question 25: The sentence "When are you having Jamie's surprise party?" has "When are you" as the complete subject, as it asks about the timing of the party.
Question 26: The sentence "John and Nicole washes the dishes" has a subject-verb disagreement. "Washes" should be changed to "wash" to agree with the plural subject "John and Nicole."
Question 27: The sentence "A kitten or a puppy make a good pet for children" has a subject-verb disagreement. Since the subjects are connected by "or," the verb should be singular. Therefore, "make" should be changed to "makes."
Question 28: The sentence "Collective nouns can be either singular or plural" states that collective nouns can be singular when they refer to a group as a unit and plural when they refer to the individuals within the group.
Question 29: The pronouns "everybody," "everyone," "anybody," and "nobody" are always singular and require singular verbs.
Question 30: The sentence "Our vacation to Niagara Falls was awesome" is a declarative sentence since it makes a statement.
Question 31: The sentence "Where did you go on vacation?" is an interrogative sentence since it asks a question.
Question 32: The sentence "Tell me about your vacation" is an imperative sentence since it gives a command.
Question 33: The sentence "The rain poured into the river and flooded the nearby community" is a compound sentence since it consists of two independent clauses ("The rain poured into the river" and "flooded the nearby community") connected by the coordinating conjunction "and."
Question 34: The sentence "The rain fell, and the river flooded" is a compound sentence for the same reason as in Question 33.
Question 35: The sentence "After the rain fell, the river flooded the community" is a complex sentence since it includes a dependent clause ("After the rain fell") and an independent clause ("the river flooded the community").
Question 36: The sentence "After the rain fell, the river flooded the community, and many residents had to move to higher ground" is a compound-complex sentence since it has two independent clauses ("the river flooded the community" and "and many residents had to move to higher ground") and a dependent clause ("After the rain fell").
Question 37: The sentence "After the blizzard subsided" is a fragment since it lacks a subject or predicate. To fix it, you could add a comma after "subsided" and provide more information to complete the sentence.
Question 38: The sentence "This English project requires several hours of work everyday, my English skills are improving" is a run-on sentence. One way to fix it is to replace the comma with a semicolon and start a new sentence after "everyday."
Question 39: The sentence "Marcus O'Neil really wants a job at Ohio State, he is very excited about returning to the college where he graduated" is a run-on sentence. To fix it, you can either change the comma to a period and start a new sentence after "Ohio State" or eliminate the comma.
Question 40: The sentence "After the Christmas holiday and during the first few weeks of January" is a complete sentence that can stand alone. Therefore, it has correct structure.
