Simple Sentences
Four types of sentences-
simple compound complex
compound-complex
simple sentence- most basic form of a sentence in English,
simple but powerful, very useful
A simple sentence is one independent clause that has a
subject and a verb and expresses a complete thought.
clause – a group of words with a subject and a verb, S+V
Most teachers says: one simple sentence – a complete idea
Subject and a Verb
Subject and a Predicate
The old dog was walking slowly around the park with a stick
in his mouth.
main subject – just one word, noun ‘dog’
complete subject- main subject plus andy modifers, adjectives,
articles
‘the old dog’
verb – action word ‘was walking’
verb= simple predicate
complete predicate – verb plus everthing else
‘was walking slowly around the park with a stick in his
mouth.’
SIMPLE SENTENCE- S V, Subject + Predicate
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.
