I Owe It All to Community College By Tom Hanks

In 1974, I graduated from Skyline High School in Oakland, Calif., an underachieving student

with lousy SAT scores. Allowed to send my results to three colleges, I chose M. I.T. and

Villanova, knowing such fine schools would never accept a student like me but hoping they'd

toss some car stickers my way for taking a shot. I couldn't afford tuition for college anyway. I

sent my final set of stats to Chabot, a community college in nearby Hayward, Calif., which,

because it accepted everyone and was free, would be my alma mater.

For thousands of commuting students, Chabot was our Columbia Annanolin

sentences vary by structure as well as by function. there are compound, complex, and compound-complex sentences.

simple sentence

i like to read.

a simple sentence has one independent clause.

compound sentence

i like to read, and i also like to write.

a compound sentence includes more than one independent clause, connected by a coordinating conjunction (and, but, for, nor, or, so, or yet).

complex sentence

i prefer to read books that are bestsellers.

a complex sentence includes one independent clause and one or more dependent clauses. (a dependent clause is one that cannot stand alone.) types of dependent clauses include relative clauses (i kicked the boy who pinched me), adverb clauses (i am going home now because i have a curfew), and noun clauses (i don't know what to do next).

compound-complex sentence

although i prefer to read current bestsellers, i do like to read old agatha christie mysteries, and i also like some 20th-century science fiction.

compound-complex sentences take a bunch of clauses (multiple independent clauses, and one or more dependent clauses) and toss them together like a salad. although these sentences take practice to write in a grammatically correct fashion, they can hold a tremendous amount of meaning, and are common in academic writing.
