Teacher: Good afternoon, everyone. Today we are going to learn about different types of sentences in English.

Student 1: Are we going to learn about simple, compound, and complex sentences?

Teacher: Yes, that's right. We will be discussing how to identify each type and when to use them in writing.

Student 2: Could you give us an example of a compound sentence?

Teacher: Of course. A compound sentence is made up of two or more independent clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction, like "and," "but," or "or." For example, "I went to the store, but I forgot to buy milk."

Student 3: How about a complex sentence?

Teacher: A complex sentence consists of one independent clause and one or more dependent clauses. An example would be, "Although it was raining, she decided to go for a walk."

Student 4: I think I understand the difference now. Thank you, teacher.

Teacher: You're welcome. Now, let's practice identifying and creating different types of sentences in our writing assignments.

(Student 1, 2, 3, and 4): Sounds good!
