Simple Sentences Contains ONE independent clause that has: A subject —who or what the sentence is about A predicate —what the subject(s) do; the verb…or action of the sentence Simple sentences express ONE complete thought! There are 4 Types of Simple Sentences
(1) Singular Subject + Singular Verb= **VERY Basic** EX: Smog paints the sky gray. (2) Compound Subject + Singular Verb= Simple EX: Jonah and Regina will present tomorrow. (3) Singular Subject + Compound Verb= Simple EX: Allen takes great notes but refuses to share them. (4) Compound Subject + Compound Verb= Simple EX: Both Tasha and Kristine cooked and served dinner.
Simple Sentence Check Point: Expresses ONE complete thought/idea. The subject of a sentence will always be a noun or pronoun. Ask yourself who or what is the sentence about! The action that the subject performs/receives is a verb. Ask yourself what the subject is doing in the sentence! Compound means more than one.
