London
London is a famous and historic city. It is the capital of England in the United Kingdom.
The city is quite popular for international tourism because London is home to one of the
oldest-standing monarchies in the western hemisphere. Rita and Joanne recently traveled
to London. They were very excited for their trip because this was their first journey
overseas from the United States.
Among the popular sights that Rita and Joanne visited are Big Ben, Buckingham Palace,
and the London Eye. Big Ben is one of London’s most famous monuments. It is a large
clock tower located at the northern end of Westminster Palace. The clock tower is 96
meters tall. Unfortunately, Rita and Joanne were only able to view the tower from the
outside. The women learned that the tower’s interior is undergoing renovations until
2021.

Fortunately, the London Eye, the city’s famous Ferris wheel, was open to the public. The
London Eye is situated along the southern shores of the Thames River. This attraction

SENTENCE TYPES
Simple Sentences
- A simple sentence contains a subject and a verb.
- It expresses a single complete thought that can stand on its own.
11
Examples:
1. The baby cried for food.
=> There is a subject and a verb that expresses a complete thought.
2. Professor Maple’s intelligent students completed and turned in their homework.
=> A simple sentence does not necessarily have to be short. It can have adjectives. In
this case, there are two verbs “completed” and “turned in.” However, the sentence
expresses one complete thought and therefore is a simple sentence.
Compound Sentences
- A compound sentence has two independent clauses. An independent clause is a part
of a sentence that can stand alone because it contains a subject and a verb and
expresses a complete thought.
- Basically, a compound contains two simple sentences.
- These independent clauses are joined by a conjunction (for, and, nor, but, or, yet,
so).
Examples:
1. The shoplifter had stolen clothes, so he ran once he saw the police.
=> Both sides of the conjunction “so” are complete sentences. “The shoplifter had
stolen clothes” can stand alone and so can “he ran once he saw the police.”
Therefore, this is a compound sentence.
2. They spoke to him in Spanish, but he responded in English.
=> This is also a compound sentence that uses a conjunction to separate two
individual clauses.
Complex Sentences
- A complex sentence is an independent clause joined by one or more dependent
clauses. A dependent clause either lacks a subject or a verb or has both a subject and
a verb that does not express a complete thought.
- A complex sentence always has a subordinator (as, because, since, after, although,
when) or relative pronouns (who, that, which).
Examples:

12
1. After eating lunch at The Cheesecake Factory, Tim went to the gym to exercise.
=> The independent clause is ‘Tim went to the gym to exercise.” The subordinating
clause before it is dependent on the main, independent clause. If one were to say
“after eating lunch at The Cheesecake Factory,” it would be an incomplete thought.
2. Opinionated women are given disadvantages in societies that privilege male
accomplishments.
=> The subject is “opinionated women” and the verb is “are given.” The first part of
the sentence “opinionated women are given disadvantages in societies” is an
independent clause that expresses a complete thought. The following “that privilege
male accomplishments” is a relative clause that describes which types of societies.
3. The woman who taught Art History 210 was fired for stealing school supplies.
=> The dependent clause in this sentence is “who taught Art History 210” because if
removed, the rest of the sentence would stand as an independent clause. “Who taught
Art History 210” is an adjective clause that provides necessary details about the
subject, woman.
