Simple Sentences
• A simple sentence is the most basic
sentence you can write.
• It is one independent clause.
• It has a complete subject and a complete
predicate.
– The subject is who or what the sentence is
about.
– The predicate includes the verbs and any
other parts of the sentence.
– A simple sentence can have more than one
subject and verb.
Simple Sentences
• I ran.
– I is the subject. Ran is the verb.
• I ran up the stairs.
– I is the subject. Ran is the verb. Up the
stairs is a prepositional phrase.
• I ran up the stairs and fell back down.
– I is the subject. Ran and fell are the two
verbs. Up the stairs is a prepositional
phrase. Back down tells where the person
went; therefore, they are adverbs.
Compound Sentences

independent clauses put together.
• You can join independent clauses
two ways.
– Semicolon ;
– Comma + a FANBOYS
If you use a semicolon, you do not
need a comma and FANBOYS.
