One of the hottest competitors at the 2002 olympics at salt lake city was 19-year-old apolo ohno. his event was short track speed skating, americans were pinning their hopes on this young man for more than one reason. they wanted a u. s. win, of course. but just as important, a medal at the olympics would be a personal victory for apolo. apolo's mother left the family when he was one year old he was raised in seattle by his father, yukio. yukio had his parenting work cut out for him. in day care, apolo climbed over the fence, as a latchkey kid, he didn't always come home. he sometimes disappeared on weekends. he hung out mostly with a bad crowd. the father and son fought constantly yukio considered sending apolo to military school. at the same time, yukio kept trying to get apolo interested in some activities, such as choir, swimming, and in-line skating. nothing worked until apolo was watching the 1994 olympics. a new event was introduced: short-track speed skating the boy was 11 years old, and he was hooked.

sentences vary by structure as well as by function. there are compound, complex, and compound-complex sentences.

simple sentence

i like to read.

a simple sentence has one independent clause.

compound sentence

i like to read, and i also like to write.

a compound sentence includes more than one independent clause, connected by a coordinating conjunction (and, but, for, nor, or, so, or yet).

complex sentence

i prefer to read books that are bestsellers.

a complex sentence includes one independent clause and one or more dependent clauses. (a dependent clause is one that cannot stand alone.) types of dependent clauses include relative clauses (i kicked the boy who pinched me), adverb clauses (i am going home now because i have a curfew), and noun clauses (i don't know what to do next).

compound-complex sentence

although i prefer to read current bestsellers, i do like to read old agatha christie mysteries, and i also like some 20th-century science fiction.

compound-complex sentences take a bunch of clauses (multiple independent clauses, and one or more dependent clauses) and toss them together like a salad. although these sentences take practice to write in a grammatically correct fashion, they can hold a tremendous amount of meaning, and are common in academic writing.
