The easy way to ielts writing academic Module

Sentence structures
A sentence structure is the physical format of a sentence. Varying sentence structures avoids repetition, creates a
natural rhythmic tone in writing, and makes it sound intriguing. In the IELTS test, for both academic and general
modules using various sentence structures is highly advised. There are four sentence structures: 
simple sentences
,
compound sentences
, 
complex sentences
, and 
compound-complex sentences
. Flexible use of these structures
accurately will lead to a high band score for grammar, enhancing the overall writing quality.
1) Simple sentences
A simple sentence is an independent clause, which mainly includes a subject and a verb, and it is complete on its
own. These independent clauses could also have other components, such as an object or a modifier, but they hold
one complete idea or a concept overall. These structures are mainly used to form a topic sentence in body
paragraphs as they hold one central idea, one of the main features of a good topic sentence.
For example
The main advantage of organic farming methods is saving the environment.
Airline companies have facilitated traveling.
Honesty is key to a good friendship.
The government has promoted healthy eating.
There is a central idea in all the sentences above, and all of them are grammatically complete
and independent.
2) Compound sentences
A compound sentence consists of two independent clauses that are connected by a coordinating conjunction or a
semi-colon . However, both sentences are independent and complete in meaning. If coordinating conjunctions link
the two independent clauses, using a “
comma
” is necessary. There are seven coordinating conjunctions:
for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so (fanboys)
The following examples show how they form compound structures.
For example
He likes coffee
,
but
his sister prefers tea.
She enjoys doing sports
,
so
she goes jogging every day.

---

We did not go to the park
;
we went to the movies instead.
He missed her so much
,
yet
he did not call her.
He loves fruits
,
and
his favorite fruit is apple.
