What I learn in LA class: Clauses

We're learning "Clauses" in LA class. Clause, its a group of words that included a verb and a subject. There are two kinds of clauses, first one is called the Independent Clause, it a sentence that can stand alone as a complete sentence or complete thought. The other one would be the opposite which is called the Dependent Clause, it a sentence that can not stand alone as a complete sentence or complete thought. There are 4 kinds of sentences that contains independent clause and dependent clause. First one would be the Simple Sentence. In that sentence, it contains one Independence clause and no dependent clause. Second one is the Complex sentence. It contains one independent clause and at least one Dependent clause. Third one is, Compound Sentence, It contain two or more Independence clauses and no subordinate clauses. The last one will be kind of complicated which is called the Compound Complex sentence. It contains two or more Independent clause and at least one dependent clauses. 

It is good to know these structure of sentences. Maybe it won't make any sense if you mix simple sentence with compound sentence, and that is when you had the wrong grammar, or the grammar mistake. It is better to know these structures so that we can write sentences properly. Most of the times, if you have any grammar mistakes, that will pull down your scores for example, an essay. So it's better to know these all kind of sentence structure.
