Welcome to Grade 7 English Matatag and Matibay Sessions kids!

In Lesson 9, you will be able to recognize different kinds of sentences and learn to use
them appropriately and meaningfully. As a high school student, you are now expected to speak
and write longer and more detailed sentences. Your sentences must be in varied lengths and
forms so that you will not sound boring. Read and understand. Stay safe kids!
Teacher MARIANNE L. DELA CRUZ
After finishing this activity sheet, you should have:
identified the kinds of sentence according to structure;
made sentences in varied forms; and
written a paragraph using the kinds of sentences.

Lesson 9 - Use Phrases, Clauses and Sentences Meaningfully

ACTIVITY
Study the picture. Are the four types of sentences the same?

ANALYSIS
Answers: No.
ABSTRACTION/DISCUSSION
Take focus on these groups of words.
S V
1. Filipinos are a generally happy people.
S V V
2. They are quick to smile and are welcoming to visitors.

 The group of words above are called sentences because they contain a subject and a
verb. You have learned in our previous lessons that a sentence is a word or group of words that
expresses a complete thought or idea, and that it has two parts: the subject (talked about in a
sentence) and the verb or predicate (tells about the subject).

These two sentences are examples of a simple sentence. It is a simple sentence because it
consists of one independent clause. Let’s take another look at the following examples.
Example: 1. Mary is Jesus’ mother.
S S V
2. Mary and Joseph took care of their Son.
S V V
3. We should believe and obey God.

All the given examples are simple sentences, but they vary in lengths and forms. A
simple sentence is one type of a sentence according to structure or form. It is composed of only
one independent clause. Take note that a subject could be only one or more than one(compound).

Another type of a sentence is compound. A compound sentence consists of two ideas or

two independent clauses. Its subject and predicate may be single or compound.
S V S V
Example: 1. Mary is Jesus’ mother and Joseph is His father.
S V S V
2. Mary and Joseph took care of Jesus, but Jesus left them
V
and served others.

Be reminded that a compound sentence always contains two or more independent clauses,
and the subject and predicate could be one or more.

S V
Look at this sentence: “The Philippines is a beautiful country rich in resources, but it is also
SV
facing a lot of problems such as corruption and poverty.”

Coordinating conjunctions are connectors used to connect two or more independent

clauses. Other coordinating conjunctions are for, nor, or, yet, and so. A semi-colon (;) could also
be used to combine two related independent clauses.
Examples:

Compound: Sarah Geronimo can sing, and she can dance too.

Compound: Coco Martin can act very well, but he can’t dance and sing well.

Compound sentences could also be written by using a semicolon.

Example: Sarah Geronimo can sing ; she can dance too.

It is therefore important to remember that when you combine two or more ideas, you must
choose the proper and appropriate connector or conjunction. By doing so, you make your
sentences proper, meaningful and easy to understand.
Additional examples of compound sentences.
IC – independent clause

IC IC
 1. Do you want to stay, or you want me to leave?
IC IC IC
2. I have run the race; I have finished the course, and I survived.
IC IC IC
3. Danny read the module, and he finished it in one hour, so he took a nap.

A complex sentence has one independent clause and at least one dependent clause. A
complex sentence uses subordinating conjunction. The most commonly used are although, after,
before, because, since, so that, if, until, when and while.
Examples: DC – dependent clause

IC DC
1. Eat before you go. (one independent clause, one dependent clause)
IC DC DC
2. I won’t stop until I find a job because I need to survive. (one independent clause, two

dependent clauses)

Relative clause can also be combined with independent clause to make a complex
sentence.
Examples:
1. The artist whom I like the most is Sarah G.

2. The lady who entertained me was the celebrator.

Compound-complex sentences contain two or more independent clauses and 1 or more

dependent clauses. Put a comma after the dependent clause if it begins the sentence. Put a
comma before the and, but, or or that connects the 2 independent clauses.
Examples:
DC IC
Charlie could not hear his watch because it had stopped, and he was worried.

DC IC IC
Because it had stopped, Charlie could not hear his watch, and he was worried.

IC DC IC
Sara could not see Charlie, but when she was on the hilltop she could hear him cry out.
