Introduction

1. Simple Sentences:

In the simple sentence we find only one subject and a predicate. There are only one subject and a predicate in each sentences below. 

  • I went to the market
  • I read a story boo
  • The dog barks
  • The train moves.
  • The leaves fall from the tree.
2. Compound sentences.
 
  1. I went to the super market.
  2. I purchased fruits.
The above two sentences are simple sentences.

  1. When I went to the supermarket I purchased fruits
In the above sentence there are two subjects and two predicates. The underlined words from a main clause in the sentence whereas the first part of the sentence forms a subordinate clause.
A sentence in which there is a main clause with one or more subordinate clause is a complex sentence.

i. I went to the playground.
ii. I played football 

The above two simple sentences can be formed as a single sentence by adding and as written here below.

  • I went to the playground and I played football .
In this sentence we notice there are two main clauses. As such this is called a compound sentence. A compound sentence is one in which there are more than one main clause with or without subordinate clauses.

  • When I went to the playground I met my friend and we played football together..
This is a compound sentence in which there are two main clauses and one subordinate clause.
