 SIMPLE SENTENCE

A simple sentence, also called an Independent Clause, contain a subject and a verb, and it expresses a complete thought.

Examples;

A. Some students like to study in the mornings.
B. Juan and Arturo play football every afternoon.
C. Alicia goes to the library and studies every day.

Note; Subjects are in yellow and verbs are in green.

The three examples above are all simple sentences. Note that sentence B contains a compound subject, and sentence C contains a compound verb. Simple sentence, therefore, contains a subject and a verb and express a complete thought, but they can also contain a compound subjects and verbs.
