Help your child build powerful writing skills by mastering sentence variety and expression with guided learning support.
A simple sentence has one complete idea, while a complex sentence has one main idea and one or more dependent clauses.
Students can identify a simple sentence by checking if it has one subject and one verb expressing a complete thought.
A sentence becomes complex when it includes a main clause and a dependent clause connected by words like “because,” “although,” or “when.”
