Grammar: Sentence Structure and Types of Sentences

Definitions and examples of basic sentence elements.

The Mastering the Mechanics webinar series also describes required sentence elements and varying sentence types. Please see these archived webinars for more information.

Key: Yellow, bold = subject; green underline = verb, blue, italics = object, pink, regular font = prepositional phrase

Independent clause : An independent clause can stand alone as a sentence. It contains a subject and a verb and is a complete idea.

• I like spaghetti .
• He reads many books .

Dependent clause : A dependent clause is not a complete sentence. It must be attached to an independent clause to become complete. This is also known as a subordinate clause.

• Although I like spaghetti,…
• Because he reads many books,…

Subject : A person, animal, place, thing, or concept that does an action. Determine the subject in a sentence by asking the question “Who or what?”

• I like spaghetti.
• He reads many books.

Verb : Expresses what the person, animal, place, thing, or concept does. Determine the verb in a sentence by asking the question “What was the action or what happened?”

• The movie is good. (The be verb is also sometimes referred to as a copula or a linking verb. It links the subject, in this case "the movie," to the complement or the predicate of the sentence, in this case, "good.")

Object : A person, animal, place, thing, or concept that receives the action. Determine the object in a sentence by asking the question “The subject did what?” or “To whom?/For whom?”

Prepositional Phrase : A phrase that begins with a preposition (i.e., in, at for, behind, until, after, of, during) and modifies a word in the sentence. A prepositional phrase answers one of many questions. Here are a few examples: “Where? When? In what way?”

• I like spaghetti for dinner .
• He reads many books in the library .

English Sentence Structure

The following statements are true about sentences in English:

• H e obtained his degree.
• He obtained his degree .
• Smith he obtained his degree.
• He obtained his degree.
• He (subject) obtained (verb) his degree (object).

Simple Sentences

A simple sentence contains a subject and a verb, and it may also have an object and modifiers. However, it contains only one independent clause.

Key: Yellow, bold = subject; green underline = verb, blue, italics = object, pink, regular font =prepositional phrase

Here are a few examples:

• She wrote .
• She completed her literature review .
• He organized his sources by theme .
• They studied APA rules for many hours .

Compound Sentences

A compound sentence contains at least two independent clauses.  These two independent clauses can be combined with a comma and a coordinating conjunction or with a semicolon .

Key: independent clause = yellow, bold ; comma  or semicolon = pink, regular font ; coordinating conjunction = green, underlined

• She completed her literature review , and she created her reference list .
• He organized his sources by theme ; then, he updated his reference list .
• They studied APA rules for many hours , but they realized there was still much to learn .

Using some compound sentences in writing allows for more sentence variety .

Complex Sentences

A complex sentence contains at least one independent clause and at least one dependent clause. Dependent clauses can refer to the subject (who, which) the sequence/time (since, while), or the causal elements (because, if) of the independent clause.

If a sentence begins with a dependent clause, note the comma after this clause. If, on the other hand, the sentence begins with an independent clause, there is not a comma separating the two clauses.

Key: independent clause = yellow, bold ; comma = pink, regular font ; dependent clause = blue, italics

• Note the comma in this sentence because it begins with a dependent clause.
• Note that there is no comma in this sentence because it begins with an independent clause.
• Using some complex sentences in writing allows for more sentence variety .

Compound-Complex Sentences

Sentence types can also be combined. A compound-complex sentence contains at least two independent clauses and at least one dependent clause.

Key: independent clause = yellow, bold ; comma  or semicolon = pink, regular font ; coordinating conjunction = green, underlined ; dependent clause = blue, italics

• She completed her literature review , but she still needs to work on her methods section even though she finished her methods course last semester .
• Although he organized his sources by theme , he decided to arrange them chronologically , and he carefully followed the MEAL plan for organization . 
• With pizza and soda at hand , they studied APA rules for many hours , and they decided that writing in APA made sense because it was clear, concise, and objective .
• Using some complex-compound sentences in writing allows for more sentence variety .
• Pay close attention to comma usage in complex-compound sentences so that the reader is easily able to follow the intended meaning.

What’s the Right Amount of Homework?

Decades of research show that homework has some benefits, especially for students in middle and high school—but there are risks to assigning too much.

Many teachers and parents believe that homework helps students build study skills and review concepts learned in class. Others see homework as disruptive and unnecessary, leading to burnout and turning kids off to school. Decades of research show that the issue is more nuanced and complex than most people think: Homework is beneficial, but only to a degree. Students in high school gain the most, while younger kids benefit much less.

The National PTA and the National Education Association support the “ 10-minute homework guideline ”—a nightly 10 minutes of homework per grade level. But many teachers and parents are quick to point out that what matters is the quality of the homework assigned and how well it meets students’ needs, not the amount of time spent on it.

The guideline doesn’t account for students who may need to spend more—or less—time on assignments. In class, teachers can make adjustments to support struggling students, but at home, an assignment that takes one student 30 minutes to complete may take another twice as much time—often for reasons beyond their control. And homework can widen the achievement gap, putting students from low-income households and students with learning disabilities at a disadvantage.

However, the 10-minute guideline is useful in setting a limit: When kids spend too much time on homework, there are real consequences to consider.

Small Benefits for Elementary Students

As young children begin school, the focus should be on cultivating a love of learning, and assigning too much homework can undermine that goal. And young students often don’t have the study skills to benefit fully from homework, so it may be a poor use of time (Cooper, 1989 ; Cooper et al., 2006 ; Marzano & Pickering, 2007 ). A more effective activity may be nightly reading, especially if parents are involved. The benefits of reading are clear: If students aren’t proficient readers by the end of third grade, they’re less likely to succeed academically and graduate from high school (Fiester, 2013 ).

For second-grade teacher Jacqueline Fiorentino, the minor benefits of homework did not outweigh the potential drawback of turning young children against school at an early age, so she experimented with dropping mandatory homework. “Something surprising happened: They started doing more work at home,” Fiorentino writes . “This inspiring group of 8-year-olds used their newfound free time to explore subjects and topics of interest to them.” She encouraged her students to read at home and offered optional homework to extend classroom lessons and help them review material.

Moderate Benefits for Middle School Students

As students mature and develop the study skills necessary to delve deeply into a topic—and to retain what they learn—they also benefit more from homework. Nightly assignments can help prepare them for scholarly work, and research shows that homework can have moderate benefits for middle school students (Cooper et al., 2006 ). Recent research also shows that online math homework, which can be designed to adapt to students’ levels of understanding, can significantly boost test scores (Roschelle et al., 2016 ).

There are risks to assigning too much, however: A 2015 study found that when middle school students were assigned more than 90 to 100 minutes of daily homework, their math and science test scores began to decline (Fernández-Alonso, Suárez-Álvarez, & Muñiz, 2015 ). Crossing that upper limit can drain student motivation and focus. The researchers recommend that “homework should present a certain level of challenge or difficulty, without being so challenging that it discourages effort.” Teachers should avoid low-effort, repetitive assignments, and assign homework “with the aim of instilling work habits and promoting autonomous, self-directed learning.”

In other words, it’s the quality of homework that matters, not the quantity. Brian Sztabnik, a veteran middle and high school English teacher, suggests that teachers take a step back and ask themselves these five questions :

• How long will it take to complete?
• Have all learners been considered?
• Will an assignment encourage future success?
• Will an assignment place material in a context the classroom cannot?
• Does an assignment offer support when a teacher is not there?

More Benefits for High School Students, but Risks as Well

By the time they reach high school, students should be well on their way to becoming independent learners, so homework does provide a boost to learning at this age, as long as it isn’t overwhelming (Cooper et al., 2006 ; Marzano & Pickering, 2007 ). When students spend too much time on homework—more than two hours each night—it takes up valuable time to rest and spend time with family and friends. A 2013 study found that high school students can experience serious mental and physical health problems, from higher stress levels to sleep deprivation, when assigned too much homework (Galloway, Conner, & Pope, 2013 ).

Homework in high school should always relate to the lesson and be doable without any assistance, and feedback should be clear and explicit.

Teachers should also keep in mind that not all students have equal opportunities to finish their homework at home, so incomplete homework may not be a true reflection of their learning—it may be more a result of issues they face outside of school. They may be hindered by issues such as lack of a quiet space at home, resources such as a computer or broadband connectivity, or parental support (OECD, 2014 ). In such cases, giving low homework scores may be unfair.

Since the quantities of time discussed here are totals, teachers in middle and high school should be aware of how much homework other teachers are assigning. It may seem reasonable to assign 30 minutes of daily homework, but across six subjects, that’s three hours—far above a reasonable amount even for a high school senior. Psychologist Maurice Elias sees this as a common mistake: Individual teachers create homework policies that in aggregate can overwhelm students. He suggests that teachers work together to develop a school-wide homework policy and make it a key topic of back-to-school night and the first parent-teacher conferences of the school year.

Parents Play a Key Role

Homework can be a powerful tool to help parents become more involved in their child’s learning (Walker et al., 2004 ). It can provide insights into a child’s strengths and interests, and can also encourage conversations about a child’s life at school. If a parent has positive attitudes toward homework, their children are more likely to share those same values, promoting academic success.

But it’s also possible for parents to be overbearing, putting too much emphasis on test scores or grades, which can be disruptive for children (Madjar, Shklar, & Moshe, 2015 ). Parents should avoid being overly intrusive or controlling—students report feeling less motivated to learn when they don’t have enough space and autonomy to do their homework (Orkin, May, & Wolf, 2017 ; Patall, Cooper, & Robinson, 2008 ; Silinskas & Kikas, 2017 ). So while homework can encourage parents to be more involved with their kids, it’s important to not make it a source of conflict.

How To Use Homework in Sentences?

Homework is used to refer to assignments or tasks given to students by teachers to be completed outside of class. Homework is an important part of a student’s learning process, as it helps reinforce the concepts taught in class and allows students to practice applying their knowledge.

To use Homework in a sentence, you can say: – “I have a lot of homework to do tonight.” – “Make sure you complete your homework before tomorrow’s class.” – “She spends hours every night working on her homework assignments.”

In each of these sentences, Homework is used to describe the schoolwork that students are required to do outside of the classroom. It is important to remember that Homework is singular, so it is always followed by a singular verb.

When using Homework in a sentence, it is helpful to consider the context in which it is being used. Make sure to use the word appropriately in a sentence that makes sense and conveys the intended meaning. Practice using Homework in sentences to become more comfortable with its usage in everyday language.

In conclusion, homework plays a crucial role in reinforcing classroom learning and enhancing students’ understanding of concepts. As seen in various examples of sentences with homework, it serves as a tool for practice, revision, and application of knowledge. Additionally, completing homework tasks can help students develop time management skills, responsibility, and self-discipline.

While some may argue that homework can be overwhelming, with proper organization and prioritization, it can be a valuable learning tool. By carefully crafting sentences with homework, we can understand its importance in the educational process. Ultimately, homework should be seen as a beneficial exercise that complements classroom instruction and contributes to students’ academic growth and development.

The sentence of the Nottingham triple killer will not be changed, the Court of Appeal has ruled.

Valdo Calocane, 32, was handed a hospital order due to his mental health after he repeatedly stabbed students Barnaby Webber , Grace O’Malley-Kumar and caretaker Ian Coates during a knife rampage in Nottingham last summer.

After pleading guilty to manslaughter by reason of diminished responsibility as well as three other attempted murder counts, Calocane, who has treatment-resistant paranoid schizophrenia, was handed an indefinite hospital order to the dismay of his victims’ families .

Following his sentencing in January, the Attorney General referred the case to the Court of Appeal to examine whether it had been “unduly lenient”, given the pre-meditation of the attacks and the 32-year-old’s history of refusing to take medication.

However, Court of Appeal judges dismissed the bid on Tuesday, stating that while Calocane’s offences caused “unimaginable grief”, his sentence was not unduly lenient as his paranoid schizophrenia was “the sole identified cause of these crimes”.

Calocane, who attended via a video link from Ashworth high-security hospital near Liverpool, did not react as the three senior judges gave their decision.

Summing up their judgment, the Lady Chief Justice Baroness Carr said: “There was no error in the approach adopted by the judge. The sentences imposed were not arguably unduly lenient.”

Describing Calocane as “in the grip of a severe psychotic episode” at the time of the attack, she cited experts as she said: “He was entirely driven by the psychotic process.”

She concluded: “It is impossible to read of the circumstances of this offending without the greatest possible sympathy for the victims of these terrible attacks, and their family and friends. The victim impact statements paint a graphic picture of the appalling effects of the offender’s conduct.

“Had the offender not suffered the mental condition that he did, the sentencing judge would doubtless have been considering a whole life term. But neither the judge nor this court can ignore the medical evidence as to the offender’s condition which led to these dreadful events or the threat to public safety which the offender continues to pose.”

Lawyers argued at the hearing last Wednesday that Calocane should be given a life sentence as part of a “hybrid” order, meaning he would be treated in hospital before serving the remainder of his sentence in prison.

Lawyer Deanna Heer KC, representing the Attorney General’s office, told the court on Wednesday the “extreme” crimes warrant “the imposition of a sentence with a penal element, an element of punishment”.

In a statement following the appeal court’s decision, Emma Webber, Mr Webber’s mother, said the families “now face their own life sentence of ensuring the monster that is Valdo Calocane” is not released.

Dr Sanjoy Kumar and Dr Sinead O’Malley, the parents of Ms O’Malley-Kumar, attended the Royal Courts of Justice on Tuesday while the relatives of Mr Webber and Mr Coates did not appear.

Ms Webber said: “Despite the fact that the Attorney General herself feels that Valdo Calocane did not receive the appropriate sentence, today’s outcome proves how utterly flawed and under-resourced the criminal justice system in the UK is. It also illustrates the need for urgent reforms in the UK homicide law.

“The fact remains, despite the words of the judge, that almost 90 per cent of people serving hospital orders are out within 10 years and 98 per cent within 20 years. In effect, the families now face their own life sentence of ensuring the monster that is Valdo Calocane becomes the next Ian Brady or Fred West and is never released.”

Reiterating the families’ calls for a public inquiry after the series of failures they have endured, she added: “There are many, many more serious questions that the families will now continue to fight to get answered.

“We do not and never will agree that the vicious, calculated and planned attacks carried out were that of an individual who was at zero level of capability.”

Speaking outside the Royal Courts of Justice on Tuesday, Dr Kumar said: “Missed multiple opportunities to prevent the Nottingham attacks and the murder of our children and Ian Coates is what has led us here today. We have continued to pursue agencies that failed us and hold them responsible for the Nottingham attacks, so that no other family is made to suffer like ours.

“We thank everyone for the outpouring of support for our brave and beautiful daughter, Grace.”

Calocane fatally stabbed Ms O’Malley-Kumar and Mr Webber, both aged 19, as they walked home from a night out in the early hours of 13 June last year, before killing Mr Coates and stealing his van. He then used the vehicle to knock down three pedestrians, Wayne Birkett, Marcin Gawronski and Sharon Miller, in Nottingham city centre before being arrested.

Prosecutors accepted his not guilty pleas to murder at his sentencing at Nottingham Crown Court in January after multiple medical experts concluded he had paranoid schizophrenia.

Sentencing judge Mr Justice Turner told Calocane that his “sickening crimes” meant he would be detained indefinitely in a high-security hospital “very probably for the rest of your life”. He also ruled that Calocane should be subject to further restrictions if ever discharged from hospital, which would need to be approved by the Justice Secretary.

While a later review found that prosecutors were right to accept Calocane’s pleas, Attorney General Victoria Prentis referred the sentence to the Court of Appeal, describing the killings as “horrific”.

Miss. Man Gets Death for Torturing, Murdering 2-Year-Old Stepson Because Boy Took Too Long to Find Juice Box

Joseph David Heard was convicted of the murder of Hayden Lee Bataille

Harrison County Sheriff's Office

Content warning: The following article contains disturbing descriptions of child abuse.

A Mississippi man was sentenced to death after he was convicted of torturing and murdering his 2-year-old stepson.

Hayden Lee Bataille, the stepson of Joseph David Heard, 41, died after his mother called 911, saying the boy was found unresponsive on Dec. 27, 2021, according to reports from the Sun Herald , WLOX and WXXV , citing authorities.

Heard and the toddler’s mother, Hailey Heard, were arrested in the aftermath of Hayden’s death and were initially charged with felony child abuse, WXXV reported, but the charged were upgraded to murder after police said they found bruises on the child.

The outlets reported that an autopsy ruled that Hayden died as a result of suffocation and suffered several injuries, including to the head.

Last May, Hailey Heard pleaded guilty to first-degree murder and testified at Joseph’s trial, which concluded last week, WLOX reported.

During her testimony, Hailey said Hayden had soiled his diaper and took too long to get a juice box from the refrigerator before Joseph got angry and began punching him in the chest and head repeatedly, the Sun Herald and WLOX reported.

“He was a two-year-old punished for soiling a diaper and crying,” Assistant District Attorney George Huffman said, WLOX reported. “He was beaten for being a child.”

The outlet also reported that texts between Joseph and Hailey revealed that he bragged about beating Hayden in the months leading up to the boy's death.

The Sun Herald reported that an emergency room doctor who attended to Hayden testified during the trial.

“It was one of the most horrific scenes I’ve witnessed as an ER doctor,” Dr. Leanne Lee said, per the paper. “I had never seen a kid that had sustained so much trauma.”

Joseph was convicted of capital murder and was sentenced to death, while Hailey is serving life in prison, the outlets reported.

Wisconsin man gets 15 year prison sentence for 2022 building fire that killed 2 people

• Copy Link copied

STURGEON BAY, Wis. (AP) — A man convicted of reckless homicide for starting a 2022 fire that killed two people when it destroyed a Wisconsin building housing a bar and rented rooms has been sentenced to 15 years in prison.

A judge also sentenced Anthony Gonzalez, 60, on Friday to 15 years of extended supervision for the fire at Butch’s Bar and the building’s upstairs apartments, the Appleton Post-Crescent reported.

The February 2022 fire killed two tenants who lived above the Sturgeon Bay bar, Victor Jurss and Gary Heise, and seriously injured a third tenant. Gonzalez told investigators he accidentally started the fire in his room above the bar when he was trying to refill a cigarette lighter.

His attorney argued that the building lacked fire safety equipment and said Gonzalez wasn’t reckless because he tried to extinguish the fire and knocked other tenants’ doors to alert them to the fire.

A jury convicted Gonzalez in January of two counts of second-degree reckless homicide and five counts of second-degree recklessly endangering safety. His attorney has said she plans to appeal the verdict.

Door County Judge D. Todd Ehlers said during Friday’s sentencing that Gonzalez has blamed others both for the fire and his convictions and that he has shown a lack of remorse.

Sturgeon Bay is located along Lake Michigan about 45 miles (70 kilometers) northeast of Green Bay.

Crime and Public Safety

Crime and public safety | jury recommends death sentence for man who killed, robbed 2 san bernardino women.

The jury’s decision on Jerome Anthony Rogers, 68, was revealed in a quiet San Bernardino Justice Center courtroom after a two-month trial during which he was convicted. Rogers had pleaded not guilty to all charges.

Judge J. David Mazurek can accept the jury’s recommendation or impose life without parole. Sentencing was set for July 19.

Rogers was a neighborhood handyman accused of strangling Wanda Lee Paulin, 86, on Dec. 12, 2010, on North Mountain View Avenue, and Mary Beth Blaskey, 76, at her Fremontia Drive home on Nov. 14, 2012.

Neither Rogers nor any of the family members of Paulin and Blaskey reacted noticeably when the clerk read the sentencing recommendations. San Bernardino County District Attorney Jason Anderson sat among the victims’ family members.

Anderson declined to comment on the case.

“It’s their time,” Anderson said, pointing to the family members in the hallway after the courtroom emptied.

Among them was Paulin’s 72-year-old daughter, Joanne Ballard of San Bernardino.

“I am very pleased with the jury that they decided he was guilty,” she said. “And I feel that the most atrocious, heinous crimes committed against elderly women deserve the harshest punishment that our system allows.”

She said she was thankful for the prosecutors, the court staff and the San Bernardino police detectives.

Some family members of the victims hugged prosecutors after the recommendations were announced.

Paulin had been the bookkeeper at First Presbyterian Church in San Bernardino – which Blaskey attended – for 27 years, Ballard said. Blaskey knew Paulin, said a Blaskey relative who attended the jury’s ruling.

“The most important things to my mother were her family, my father and us, and her church and her church family,” Ballard said.

Blaskey was a retired clerk and secretary for the San Bernardino City Unified School District. She worked for the district from 1994 to 2006. Blaskey continued to work as a clerical substitute at San Gorgonio High and other schools until about two weeks before her death.

Many educators knew her as a woman whose response to any task was, “No problem.”

After less than one day of deliberations on April 23, Rogers was convicted of two counts of murder, and one count of sexual penetration by force. The jury found true three special-circumstances allegations that made Rogers eligible for the death penalty: committing a robbery during a murder, being convicted of multiple murders, and inflicting torture during a murder.

The jurors’ decision on the penalty also took about one day.

Rogers was charged in 2013 in the death and sexual assault of Blaskey. Her home had been ransacked, and her 2001 Lexus was missing. Some other items believed to have been taken from her home were found in a residence where Rogers was sleeping, authorities said.

Rogers was linked to the crime by DNA evidence.

While Rogers was in jail, he mentioned he knew Paulin to investigators and that she had been killed. Paulin’s home had been ransacked, and rings were taken from her fingers. Tipsters would report seeing Rogers with items in December 2012, about the time of the second murder, that they felt were out of place for him.

He was also tied to Paulin’s slaying through DNA evidence, police said. A second case was filed in January 2015 that incorporated the previous charges tied to the Blaskey homicide.

Rogers’ attorney, Daniel J. Mangan, a court-appointed lawyer, questioned the DNA evidence in an interview on Friday. When Rogers was arrested, police said they initially had 30 suspects , including Rogers.

“Some of the items (in the homes) were not tested,” Mangan said. “We don’t know whose DNA was on them. We feel there were more people involved that were never arrested or charged.”

In 2019, Gov. Gavin Newsom imposed a moratorium on executing prisoners in the state. No one has been put to death in California since 2006. As of May 6, there were 638 inmates on death row , according to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.

Bannon should report for prison now, Justice Department tells judge

The Justice Department asked a federal judge to order the former Trump adviser to immediately start his four-month prison sentence for contempt of Congress.

Former Trump political adviser and right-wing podcaster Stephen K. Bannon should report to prison immediately to begin serving a four-month prison term for contempt of Congress now that an appeals court has upheld his conviction , federal prosecutors argued to his sentencing judge Tuesday.

In a three-page filing, prosecutors said that no substantial legal questions remain over Bannon’s two-count conviction for refusing to provide documents or testimony to a House committee probing the Jan. 6 , 2021, attack after a panel of the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit on Friday rejected Bannon’s appeal on all grounds.

“Under these circumstances, the Court ‘shall order’ defendant ‘be detained,’ so the stay of sentence must be lifted,” Assistant U.S. Attorney John Crabb Jr. wrote to U.S. District Judge Carl J. Nichols, who sentenced Bannon in October 2022 but agreed to postpone his prison stay pending appeal.

A lawyer for Bannon, 70, did not immediately respond to a request for comment, and Nichols gave Bannon until Thursday to oppose the motion. ABC News reported that Bannon said in response to the news, “I’m shocked they want to silence the voice of MAGA.”

Bannon attorney David I. Schoen previously said that he would seek a rehearing before the full D.C. Circuit after a three-judge panel of the appeals court affirmed Bannon’s conviction at trial by a D.C. jury in July 2022. Bannon has 45 days to seek an en banc review, and the panel said it would not return the case to Nichols until seven days after that review was requested.

Nichols placed Bannon’s reporting date on hold, saying he raised a substantial question about whether he should be able to argue that he did not “willfully” refuse to cooperate because he relied on legal advice to ignore a House subpoena for his documents and testimony, among other defenses.

Bannon’s defense argued that Friday’s three-judge panel held that it did not have the authority to overrule a 1961 D.C. Circuit decision barring such defenses, but that the full court of appeals could.

Bannon could also ask the Supreme Court to intervene, but the justices declined a similar request from Trump trade adviser Peter Navarro, 74, who in March became the first person incarcerated for contempt of Congress in more than half a century, since the red-baiting hearings of the Cold War era. Navarro, who said in a memoir that he and Bannon had a plan for Jan. 6 that would keep President Biden from taking office, was convicted of the same crimes in September and received an identical sentence in January from U.S. District Judge Amit P. Mehta.

Man Sentenced to 25 Years in Stabbings of 3 Homeless Men in Manhattan

Trevon Murphy, who a family member said had a history of mental health problems, killed one man and injured two others.

By Maia Coleman

A 42-year-old homeless man was sentenced to 25 years to life in prison on Wednesday for stabbing three homeless men in Manhattan, one fatally, in a string of attacks during the summer of 2022.

The man, Trevon Murphy, pleaded guilty in January to one felony count of murder in the second degree and two counts of attempted murder.

The Manhattan district attorney, Alvin L. Bragg, had said that the attacks were committed against the city’s “most vulnerable” community members.

“New Yorkers who face the painful and difficult experience of being unhoused shouldn’t have to simultaneously fear for their safety,” Mr. Bragg said in a statement on Wednesday.

Mr. Murphy, who has a history of arrests and has struggled with mental illness, was arrested in July 2022 on charges of murder and attempted murder in connection with the three stabbings, which took place over the course of a single week in July. All three men whom Mr. Murphy stabbed had been sleeping outside when the attacks occurred, according to prosecutors.

Mr. Murphy’s lawyer, Kevin Canfield, did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Wednesday.

According to police statements at the time of Mr. Murphy’s arrest, he approached a man sleeping on a bench by the Hudson River in the West Village on July 5 and stabbed him in the abdomen. The man later died at Bellevue Hospital, the police said.

On July 9, Mr. Murphy stabbed another man who had been sleeping on a bench on the corner of Madison Avenue and East 49th Street in Midtown, prosecutors said in a news release announcing Mr. Murphy’s guilty plea in January. Mr. Murphy stared at the man for about 20 minutes from a nearby bench before attacking him, prosecutors said.

In a third incident on July 11, Mr. Murphy stabbed a man who had been sleeping at a basketball court on East 96th Street on the Upper East Side, prosecutors said.

The two men attacked on July 9 and July 11 survived, according to the police.

Mr. Murphy was arraigned in August 2022 and indicted on charges connected to two of the stabbings, including the fatal one. The charges were later updated to reflect the third stabbing.

A cousin of Mr. Murphy’s, Tameka Wilkerson of Knoxville, Tenn., said after the attacks that Mr. Murphy had been struggling with mental health problems for years and sometimes heard voices.

A few months before the stabbings, Mr. Murphy was placed in a general homeless shelter in Queens despite a history of paranoia and delusions, according to records and previous interviews by The New York Times.

Homeless people suffering from severe mental illness have been charged in a series of high-profile attacks in New York City in the past five years, though such attacks are relatively rare. The incidents have shined a light on a broken system of emergency psychiatric care for homeless people, in which hospitals repeatedly discharge patients without stabilizing them.

In a 2023 Times investigation , reporters scrutinized acts of violence carried out in recent years by people who were homeless and mentally ill. Reporters identified 94 instances in the past decade in which breakdowns of the city’s social safety net preceded the violence.

One in four severely mentally ill people in the shelter system had not been placed in a mental health shelter, according to a 2022 audit by the state comptroller. Some of those who were placed in less intensive shelters went on to kill themselves or others, The Times investigation found.

The investigation lists Mr. Murphy as one such case.
