Sentences can be categorized by structure into four main types: simple, compound, complex, and compound-complex. A simple sentence contains a single independent clause, while a compound sentence consists of two or more independent clauses joined by a conjunction. Complex sentences have one independent clause and at least one dependent clause, and compound-complex sentences combine elements of both compound and complex structures. Each type serves different purposes in conveying meaning and complexity in writing.
