Four types of
sentences- simple compound complex

simple sentence-
most basic form of a sentence in English
A simple sentence is
one independent clause that has a subject and a verb and expresses a complete
thought.

words with a subject and a verb, S+V
Most teachers says: one
simple sentence – one complete idea.
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.
4. ** Begins with a
capital letter and ends with a period.
** For all
sentences.

Jessie are going swimming. SSV
3. The frog jumped and landed in the pond. SVV
4. Keep your eyes open for bargains. NO SUBJECT-
