The prayer it is defined as a syntactic unit of complete meaning. It is a phrase characterized by expressing a predication, and it is always made up of a subject and a predicate whose nucleus is a flexed verb.
This means that a sentence is a set of ordered words that is intended to convey a complete idea. Thus, the sentence contains a subject that is the one that performs the action, and a predicate that is the action itself (the conjugated verb), and a complement.
Two great types of sentences:
In the first instance, sentences can be classified into simple sentences Y compound sentences.
Simple sentences are those that have a subject and a predicate, their main characteristic is that in them there is only one action, that is, a verb. To explain it better, let's analyze the following sentence:
Jesus It was to the beach on Sunday.
In the previous example, the verb was marked with red, in this case there is only one, that is, an action. For this reason, it is a simple sentence.
Instead, compound sentences
they have more than one action, in these cases it is said that the sentence has more than one predicate. It is also possible to say that a compound sentence is made up of several joined sentences. Continuing with the previous example:Jesus It was to the beach on Sunday for happen a good time with your friends.
If the previous sentence is carefully reviewed, it is possible to notice that it has two actions, that is, two verbs, which are marked with red.
Types of compound sentences:
In addition to being classified into simple and compound, the latter can also be classified into coordinates, subordinated and juxtaposed, and these in turn can be subdivided, then the information:
1. Coordinated sentences
Coordinate sentences retain their independence from each other, and are linked by conjunctions.
to. Adverse coordinates
Where one of the sentences negates or diminishes the other. Example:
I like music but I don't play instruments.
b. Copulative coordinates
In this type of sentence, one information is added or linked to another. Example:
Laura eats and Maria watches television.
c. Disjunctive coordinates
In these types of sentences, two options are presented. Example:
I call you on the phone or look for you at your house.
d. Explanatory coordinates
One sentence explains the other through the use of links. Example:
Juan fulfilled what he promised me, that is, he took me on a trip.
and. Distributive coordinates
They distribute the information by means of the use of connectors as already, already well, as soon as, and so on. Example:
I'll go with you as soon as I finish what I'm doing.
F. Consecutive coordinates
They show cause-effect, they use connectors like then, therefore, and so on. Example:

2. Subordinate clauses
Subordinate clauses are clauses that depend on each other.
to. Adverbial subordinates
Also known as circumstantial subordinate clauses, and within a sentence they work like an adverb, that is, they modify the main clause in the same way that an adverb would. There are nine types: place, time, mode, causal, concessive, conditional, final, consecutive, comparative. Examples:
I put the keys where you told me (of place).

I did things as you instructed me (so).

I'll be there even if I don't finish my job (concessive).

b. Subordinate substantives
These sentences replace the functions of the noun with respect to the main sentence, which can be the subject, the direct object, the indirect object, and so on. Example:
The person who spoke to me was a childhood friend.
c. Subordinate adjectives
They are sentences that fulfill the function of the adjective with respect to the main sentence. Example:
The student who studies, passes the exams.
3. Juxtaposed sentences
In juxtaposed subordinate sentences, the sentences that compose it are joined by a comma, a period or a semicolon, they do not use links or connectors. Examples:
Laura likes to read, sing, dance, and write.
Some asked for help, others withdrew from the scene.
Types of sentences according to the way in which the action is expressed:
On the other hand, according to the way in which the sentence expresses the action, the sentences can be classified into:
- Assertive sentences
- Interrogative sentences
- Exclamation sentences
- Imperative sentences
- Wishful prayers
- Hesitant prayers
Each of these types of sentences are explained below:
