Sentences – Simple, Compound, and Complex

1. Simple Sentence.
A simple sentence contains - one independent clause- (a complete thought) with
a subject and a predicate (verb). It expresses a single idea or thought.

(One subject: "She" + one verb: "reads" + one complete idea)
Simple Sentences (One independent clause)

2. She writes code every day.

2. Compound Sentence.
A compound sentence contains - two or more independent clauses-, joined by a
coordinating conjunction (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so) or a semicolon. Each
clause could stand alone as a complete sentence.

Example: She reads books, and she writes stories.


(Two independent clauses: "She reads books" + "She writes stories" joined by
"and")

she loves stories")
