What is simple sentence and give example?

A simple sentence is a sentence that contains only one independent clause.

Here's the breakdown:

* Independent Clause: A group of words that can stand alone as a complete thought. It must have a subject (who or what is doing the action) and a verb (the action being done).

Here are some examples of simple sentences:

* The dog barked. (Subject: "dog," Verb: "barked")

* She eats breakfast every morning. (Subject: "She," Verb: "eats")

* The sun is shining brightly today. (Subject: "sun," Verb: "is shining")

* I love to read. (Subject: "I," Verb: "love")

* He walked quickly down the street. (Subject: "He," Verb: "walked")

Important Notes:

* Simple sentences can be short or long.

* They do not contain any dependent clauses (phrases that cannot stand alone as a complete thought).

* You can combine simple sentences to create more complex sentences.
