<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Simple Sentence:&nbsp;</h2>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>A simple sentence is a group of words that has a subject, a verb and states a complete thought.&nbsp;</li>



<li>A simple subject has one subject and one predicate.&nbsp;</li>



<li>It consists of one independent clause (main clause) with no dependent clause (Sub-ordinate clause).&nbsp;</li>



<li>Example: “Mom cooked dinner”&nbsp;</li>
</ul>



Subject: “Mom”&nbsp;



Verb: “Cooked”&nbsp;



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>There is no conjunction at the beginning or end of the sentence, and it is a complete thought. So, this is a <a href="https://www.turito.com/learn/english/simple-sentences">simple sentence</a>. </li>
</ul>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Let us see some examples:&nbsp;</li>
</ul>



“The children are sweeping the floor.”&nbsp;



“Ranzel washes the dishes.”&nbsp;



“They swim in the river.”&nbsp;<div class="fillWidthInMob"><a loading='lazy' class="showAdInAllRes" data-toggle="modal" data-target=#homeLeadForm data-heading="Get Expert Guidance" href="#"><img class="img-fluid" alt="parallel" src=https://a.storyblok.com/f/128066/1100x230/00b28b4876/11-applying-for-collages_leaderboard-1100x230.jpg /></a></div>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>The words like “The children”, “Ranzel”, “They” are subjects.&nbsp;</li>



<li>The rest of the sentence are called as predicates.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>



“Mom and Dad cooked dinner.”&nbsp;



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Here “Mom” and “dad” are linked together by the co-coordinating conjunction “and”.&nbsp;</li>



<li>Because the conjunction is connecting the subject, so this is a complete thought.&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>



<li>So, we can call it a simple sentence.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>



Let’s see one simpler sentence.&nbsp;



“Mom and Dad cooked dinner and cleaned the kitchen”.&nbsp;



Subject: “Mom”, “Dad”&nbsp;



Verbs: “Cooked”, “Cleaned”&nbsp;<div class="fillWidthInMob"><a loading='lazy' class="showAdInAllRes" data-toggle="modal" data-target=#homeLeadForm data-heading="Get Expert Guidance" href="#"><img class="img-fluid" alt="parallel" src=https://a.storyblok.com/f/128066/1100x230/00b28b4876/11-applying-for-collages_leaderboard-1100x230.jpg /></a></div>



Verb phrases: “Cooked dinner”, “Cleaned the kitchen”&nbsp;



The subject is the one which is being talked about in the sentence.&nbsp;



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>It is usually a noun or a pronoun.&nbsp;</li>



<li>Most of the time, the subject can be found at the beginning part of a sentence.&nbsp;</li>



<li>A simple sentence is always consisting of a single independent clause and does not contain a dependent clause.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>



Examples:&nbsp;



<ol class="wp-block-list">
<li>Carol’s sweater is red.&nbsp;</li>



<li>You and Alex need to be quiet.&nbsp;</li>



<li>Ms. Bennett did a cartwheel and a backflip.</li>
</ol>
