Lesson: 3 Synthesis of Sentences

Synthesis is the combination of many simple sentences into one new
sentence.

Types of sentences:

A Simple Sentence has one subject and one verb construction. It can
also be a compound subject and a compound verb construction.

Examples: Dixit wins the match.
(subject) + (predicate)

Nribesh and his friend work and earn a lot of money.
(compound subject) (compound verb)

A Compound Sentence contains two clauses joined by a conjunction
like and, or, but, or so.

Example: John is good at English, but he is not very good at maths.
clause 1 clause 2

These two clauses do not depend on each other and are
joined by the conjunction ‘but’.

Conjunctions are words used to link words, phrases or clauses.

A Complex Sentence is comprised of one Principal Clause and at least
one Subordinate/Dependent Clauses. Dependent clauses cannot stand
alone independently.

Example: Akhil went to Nagarkot because he was on holiday.
clause 1 clause 2
