Simple Sentence Practice

At the sailing club, the crew needs clear messages before heading out. A simple sentence has one main clause: a subject and a verb that express a complete idea. A subject can be more than one person or thing, and a verb can have more than one part. Read each sentence carefully; a simple sentence may include extra details or a compound subject or verb.

Spot the sentence structure

For each item, identify whether the sentence is simple or not simple. Remember: a simple sentence has one main clause; a sentence can still be simple if its subject or verb is compound.

1.Arjun checks the ropes before practice. Is this a simple sentence? Explain by naming its subject and verb.
2.Choose the simple sentence with a compound subject.
  • Jarrah-Mae and Amira raise the sail.
  • Jarrah-Mae raises the sail, and Amira steers.
  • When the wind drops, the crew waits.
3.Is this a simple sentence or a sentence with two clauses? “The boat glides past the jetty, and the crew waves.”
