The simple sentence here is indeed not a simple sentence. What is its sentence type and why?
Hello,
"The boat slammed, tore, ripped sideways across the water. She was knocked flat. Without instrumentation I had no way of knowing the speed but I suspect that the beginning of the blow was more than six knots."
Is this a compound sentence? it seems more than one sentence.
In your compound complex sentence there are three complete sentence.oOne is simple,one is complex and one is compound.But how do you say all three sentence together as a compound complex sentence and why?
