Complex Sentences

We have been learning about three types of sentences - simple, compound and complex.

A simple sentence just has one full thought and it will tell us who and what.
E.g  I went to school.
A compound sentence takes two simple sentences and uses a connective (joining word) to join the two sentences.
E.g I went to school and I learned a lot. 

A complex sentence is one full sentence that could stand alone and a part of a sentence.
E.g  Although I went to school, I didn't learn much.

Today we looked at the picture below and worked together to make some complex sentences.

The dog is enjoying his breakfast, even though he’s had three bowls of cereal already!

The dog is enjoying his breakfast even though he’ll have to do the dishes when he finishes.

The dog is enjoying his breakfast even though he’s making a mess.

The dog is enjoying his breakfast, even though he has human hands.

The dog is enjoying his breakfast, even though his house is messy.

While the dog enjoys his breakfast, his mother makes his bed.

Whenever the dog sits at the table, he starts to eat and get fat.

Even though the dog is eating with his fingers, he’s still enjoying it.

While the dog enjoys his breakfast, he has a glass of milk.

While the dog is enjoying his breakfast, he is thinking about the dishes.

We are going to be trying to use these types of sentences in our writing and we're looking for them in the books we read. You can help at home by pointing out these sentences when you're reading together.
