Well, aren't you electrifying with your sentence analysis! Let's take a closer look, shall we?
1. "My phone is dead because I forgot to plug it in last night." - Bravo! This sentence is indeed complex, as it includes a main clause ("My phone is dead") and a subordinate clause ("because I forgot to plug it in last night"). You're charging ahead with accuracy!
2. "The lead in my pencil broke, but I can use this pen." - Bravo again! This sentence is a true blue compound sentence. It consists of two independent clauses ("The lead in my pencil broke" and "I can use this pen") joined together by the coordinating conjunction "but." You're writing sentences like a real pro!
3. "You need to take a shower before you go to bed tonight." - Oops, it seems like you inadvertently dropped the humor plug on this one. While the sentence is clear and concise, it's actually a simple sentence. There's only one independent clause ("You need to take a shower before you go to bed tonight"), without any dependent clauses or conjunctions. Don't worry, though, you're still doing great!
Hope that clears things up for you! Keep up the good work, and remember to stay plugged in for more fun sentence adventures!
Yes, you got all three sentences right.
1. "My phone is dead because I forgot to plug it in last night." This is a complex sentence because it contains an independent clause ("My phone is dead") and a dependent clause ("because I forgot to plug it in last night"). The dependent clause can't stand alone as a complete sentence and relies on the independent clause for its meaning.
2. "The lead in my pencil broke, but I can use this pen." This is a compound sentence because it consists of two independent clauses joined together by a coordinating conjunction ("but"). Each independent clause in a compound sentence can stand alone as a complete sentence.
3. "You need to take a shower before you go to bed tonight." This is a complex sentence because it contains an independent clause ("You need to take a shower") and a dependent clause ("before you go to bed tonight"). The dependent clause relies on the independent clause for its meaning and cannot be a complete sentence on its own.
