在之前的文章裡，小編跟大家梳理了英語句子按功能分的用法。今天我們接著梳理按照結構分的英語句子種類及其用法。
二、按照句子結構分
如果按照句子本身的組成方式或是組織結構分，英語句子可以分為以下四種：
（一）簡單句（Simple sentences）
只有一個主謂結構的句子叫做簡單句。簡單句可能有兩個或以上的主語但只有一個謂語動詞，也有的只有一個主語但有兩個或兩個以上的謂語動詞，有時也有兩個或兩個以上的主語以及兩個或兩個以上的謂語動詞。
如：
1. The sun rises early in summer.
2. Tom and Jerry are playing in the garden.
3. He is singing and dancing in the room.
4. Her daughter, her husband and she herself came in, sat down and began to have supper.
（二）並列句（Compound sentences）
由兩個或兩個以上的簡單句構成的句子叫並列句，這些簡單句常用逗號和並列連詞連接。
如：
1. It is sunny today, so let's go for an outing.
2. She had to go home at once, for it was getting dark.
（三）複合句（Complex sentences）
含有從句的句子叫做複合句，也叫主從句。連接從句的詞語叫做從屬連詞。
如：
1. When he came back, his son was doing his homework.
2. Although he is young, he knows a lot.
（四）並列複合句（Compound-complex sentences）
由兩個或以上的獨立分句以及至少一個從屬分句組成的句子，叫做並列複合句。
如：
1. If you are sent damaged goods, the store must replace the items, and it must issue a full refund.
2. The door of the morning room was open as I went through the hall, and I caught a glimpse of Uncle Tom messing about with his collection of old silver.
（五）試試看
有興趣的朋友可以試試看，把下面的句子連成一句話：
1. We are watering the trees. We don't have any rain for a month.
2. The letter is from my friend abroad. The letter arrived today.
