The Structure of Sentences: Real Life Stories

Today in our English class we studied about the structure of sentences: you know - simple, compound, complex,and compound-complex?

Yeah, well, our teacher had this really cool way of letting us remember which is which. It sort of went like this: 





Needless to say,it left most of my classmates gasping for air as we laughed (a bit too much, if I may say) at the second picture.

It helped me a lot, though, in remembering which sentence is which.

Later on, Mrs. Tenny told us to give an example for each sentence structure. "The sentences," she said "must form a story."

So our class output was like this:
"Princess is a single girl. She met a Jack Frostie girl, Maysa, and they fangirled together. When Princess fell in love with Niall, she had no more time for Maysa. But Maysa met a guy named Delfra and they became more than friends, and the four of them lived happily every after"

So, from that, you can now conclude that despite being sophomores, we are a class of Jack Frost fanatics and directioners who find amusement in things five-year-olds laugh at.

By the way - Delfra isn't a real name! It's just a codename, if you may,for a guy Maysa has been crushing on (and apparently wouldn't get over in a long time).

But anyways, I found this method really helpful. It makes memorizing the sentence structures a lot easier.

'Till next time then! I've got like a gazillion more homeworks to do. Thank youuuu so much for reading this.
