Reflection about the different types of sentences

Last ESL lesson, We learnt about different types of sentences and predicate. I was confusing at the first time about the predicate, but after Ms, Dianne explained to us with the slideshow, I could understand easily.

A sentence must contain a subject and predicate. For example; I am studying at SWA. In this sentence, the subject is "I" and the predicate is " am studying at SWA". She also explained different types of sentences, which are simple sentence, compound sentence and complex sentence. A simple sentence is also called an independent clause. A compound sentence contains two independent clauses joined by a co-ordinator. A complex sentence has an independent clause joined one or more dependent clauses. Ms. Dianne was explaining with the examples, so we could learn and try it easily than just looking at our own grammar book.

I think this lesson plan worked very well on us and we enjoyed the activities that Ms. Dianne gave us as a worksheet. And also, we could learn and understand the differences between the types of sentences.
