How to Identify Sentence Structure?
Hallo Ms. I was wondering if you could lend a hand with my son's English assignment.
He has to identify sentence structures, and one example he found is, "Although it was raining, we decided to go for a walk."
Could you help him understand how to break that down?

Hello there, Ella Smithech!
Sentence structure is the order of words, phrases, punctuation, and clauses in a sentence. It also involves the use of proper grammar. There are four types of sentence structures: simple, compound, complex, and compound-complex.
The sentence "Although it was raining, we decided to go for a walk." has a compound sentence structure.
A sentence with a compound sentence structure has two independent clauses joined by a conjunction.
An independent clause is a group of words that expresses a complete thought and can stand alone as a sentence.
1st Independent Clause: "...it was raining..."
2nd Independent Clause: "...we decided to go for a walk."
Conjunction: "Although"
