PSEB 12th Class English Grammar Transformation of Sentences (Simple, Compound & Complex)
(Simple, Compound Complex)
Definition of Simple Sentences. A simple sentence is one that contains one finite verb, either expressed or understood. It simply means that it has one finite verb and is consequently a single independent clause.
Sentence : (S = Subject, V = Verb, O = Object)
Examples:
- Boys are running.
- Boys and girls play.
- The handsome boy gave his mother a red rose.
- He gave his brother a book.
Compound Sentences. Let us have a look at the sentence. He rose and went to the door of his room. There are two finite verbs-rose and went. It is made up of two clauses, each containing finite verb and joined by the conjunction ‘and’. Neither of the two clauses in the sentence is dependant on the other for its grammatical function. Such a sentence is called a compound sentence.
Complex Sentence. It is a sentence made up of a main clause and one or more subordinate clauses.
I met a boy who has plenty of push and drive, (one subordinate clause).
You may leave when I tell you to.
I liked the Shimla climate because it was healthy, but Suresh preferred the summer of Delhi, (two subordinate clauses).
