You have to practice every day until simple an compound sentences are routine and easy and effortless for you.

Then you will really know it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

REVIEW

 

Simple Sentence

A simple sentence is one independent clause that has a subject and a verb and expresses a complete thought. Notice that there are some important requirements for a simple sentence:

1. Must have a subject and a verb.

2. Must express a complete thought.

3. Must only have one clause.

 

Examples of Simple Sentence:

1. Joe went to the store.

2. Sarah and Jessie are going swimming.

3. The frog jumped and landed in the pond.

4. Keep your eyes open for bargains.

5. The pizza smells delicious.

6. There is a fly in the car with us.

7. Look on top of the refrigerator for the key.

8. The printer is out of paper.

9. Will you help me with the math homework?

10. The music is too loud.

Add something new to each sentence to make a compound sentence.

e.g.

1.       Joe went to the store.

Joe went to the store, and he bought some milk.

 

Try these for homework.
