Simple Sentence:
A simple sentence contains a subject and a verb. - It expresses a single complete thought
that can stand on its own.
Examples: 1. The baby cried for food.
There is a subject and a verb that expresses a complete thought.
2. Professor Maple’s intelligent students completed and turned in their homework.
A simple sentence does not necessarily have to be short. It can have
adjectives. In this case, there are two verbs “completed” and “turned in.”
However, the sentence expresses one complete thought and therefore is a
simple sentence.
3. Megan and Ron ate too much and felt sick.
