Q & A

What is the difference between a simple period and a compound period?

A simple period consists of a single sentence with one verb. A compound period contains two or more sentences, each with its own verb, joined together in a single statement.

What is a simple period?

A simple period is a sentence made up of a single thought or action, containing one verb. For example, 'The student arrived early.'

What is a compound period?

A compound period contains two or more sentences that each have a verb. For example, 'I arrived, took off my shoes, breathed deeply, and threw myself on the couch.'

Why is it important to identify the verbs in a sentence when determining if it is a simple or compound period?

Identifying the verbs is crucial because a simple period has only one verb, while a compound period has two or more verbs. This distinction helps categorize the sentence properly.

How can a compound period be identified?

A compound period can be identified by the presence of multiple verbs or sentences, each with a separate action or thought. The sentence begins with a capital letter and ends with a full stop.

Can a compound period have different punctuation marks within it?

Yes, a compound period may contain commas to separate different actions or thoughts, but it always starts with a capital letter and ends with a full stop.

Are there other names for a simple period?

While 'simple period' is the most common term, you might come across other names such as 'absolute sentence' in some sources. However, this is not universally reliable.

How many verbs are in the sentence 'I arrived, I took off my shoes, I took a deep breath, and threw myself on the couch'?

This sentence contains four verbs: 'arrived', 'took', 'breathed', and 'threw'. Therefore, it is a compound period.

What is emphasized regarding punctuation in periods?

It is important that every period starts with a capital letter and ends with a full stop. This rule applies to both simple and compound periods.
