Sentence Structure Practice

A notice for a local park has muddled sentences. Use your grammar skills to sort, repair and create sentences. A simple sentence has one main clause; a compound sentence joins two main clauses; a complex sentence has a main clause and a subordinate clause.

Sort the sentences

Choose whether each sentence is simple, compound or complex.

1.The council planted bright flowers beside the path.
  • Simple
  • Compound
  • Complex
2.The oval was muddy, so the football match moved to the courts.

4.Tahlia packed her rubbish, and Jai checked the barbecue area.

Join each pair of ideas using the conjunction in brackets. Add punctuation and capital letters. Your sentence must match the meaning.

5.The creek rose overnight. The walking track was closed. (so)
6.The playground was busy. We waited for a turn on the flying fox. (although)
7.The volunteers swept the shelter. They put the benches back in place. (and)
