What is a Simple Sentence?
A simple sentence is a complete sentence that contains a subject and a predicate. The subject is the person, place, thing, or idea that the sentence is about, and the predicate is the action or state of being of the subject.
Structure of a Simple Sentence
A simple sentence typically follows the structure: Subject + Verb + Object. For example, "The cat (subject) sat (verb) on the mat (object)."
