Simple Sentences

Below are the rules students should follow while using simple sentences in the English conversations:

·       A simple sentence should have one subject and one verb that form a complete thought.

·       The subject and verb must agree in number (singular or plural).

·       The standard SVO (Subject-Verb-Object) order is common. However, it is flexible and can be changed depending upon the context and use case.

·       A simple sentence can have Compound Subject and Compound Verb joined by a conjunction

·       Simple sentences do not include dependent (or subordinate) clauses.

·       A simple sentence should be properly punctuated, ending with a period in most cases.

Here's the structural breakdown of simple sentences:

·       Subject: The person, place, or thing that is performing the action in the sentence.

·       Verb: The action word or state of being in the sentence.

·       Object: The object receives the action of the verb.

·       Independent Clause: A group of words that can stand alone as a complete sentence.

·       No Dependent Clauses: A dependent clause cannot stand alone as a complete sentence.

·       No Subordinate Clauses: A simple sentence doesn't have any clauses that depend on another part of the sentence to make sense.
