F. Read and enjoy the story. After that, identify underlined sentences
as a Simple Sentence, a Compound Sentence or Complex Sentence.

A merchant sold his goods in a fair. When it was evening, he set out
for his home. He wanted his horse to carry him as fast as it could; for
dark clouds had pervaded the sky. Soon it began to rain heavily and
the merchant got wet. He cursed his bad luck. However, he continued
his journey. A robber found him and pointed his gun at him, saying,
‘Give me all the money you have or I will shoot you.’ The merchant
didn’t yield. At this, the robber pressed the trigger of the gun, but the
gun didn’t fire. Why? The gun too was wet. The merchant whipped the
horse and escaped. Once the merchant reached his home, he thanked
the rain.

G. Read the letter below. Draw a single line under a Simple Sentence,

Dear Siru

How are you and Aslesha? It seems ages since we saw each other. I hope you
are enjoying the new place, friends and culture. Mummy and I are fine here,
and David is getting on well at his new school.
I am writing now because I am coming to New York next Saturday for an
international conference, and I am wondering if we could meet after the
conference is over. I don’t have much time to spend in New York. If you give
me proper directions, I think I can catch a train and come to your area. As it
is my first visit to the US, I am not acquainted with anything over there. The
conference should be over by Monday at the latest.

Let me know what suits you. It would be lovely to see you and Aslesha if you
have time.

Love from
Suraj
