SIMPLE SENTENCE
A simple sentence is a sentence structure that contains one independent clause and no
dependent clauses. It contains a simple subject and simple predicate.
There are two different types of simple sentence. Depending upon structure, these
include:
Compound Verbs and Compound Subjects – Some sentences have a single subject
and two or more verbs. Other sentences have a single verb and two or more subjects.
For example:
The dog barked and ran (Compound verb)
Single Subject and a Single Verb – This type of simple sentence has only one
subject and one verb. For example:
COMPOUND SENTENCE
A compound sentence joins two or more sentences that have related ideas of equal
importance. The two sentences go together. Each sentence or independent clause
must still have a subject and a verb.
For example:
She wanted spinach salad; he wanted a hamburger.
He went to the party, but she stayed home.
F.A.N.B.O.Y.S
For – He couldn't go home, for he had no place to go.
And – I took a taxi, and she drove home.
Nor – He didn't want help, nor did she offer it.
But – I wanted to go late, but she wanted to go on time.
Or – She cooked dinner, or she went out to a restaurant.
Yet – She owned a car, yet she didn't know how to drive it.
So – She had to go, so she called a friend to drive her.
