simple sentence and complex sentence

Hello good people!! Good morning, how are you today? Let’s learn about SIMPLE SENTENCE AND COMPLEX SENTENCE

SIMPLE SENTENCE AND COMPLEX SENTENCE

SIMPLE SENTENCE
A simple sentence has the most basic elements that make it a sentence. A Simple sentence contains a subject and a verb, and it may also have an object and modifiers. However, it can contains only one independent clause.
Example:
Joe waited for the train
“Joe”= subject, “waited”= verb

The train was late
“the train”= subject, “was”= verb

Mary and Samantha took the bus
“Mary and Samantha”= compound subject, “took”= verb
I looked for Mary and Samantha at the bus station
“I”= subject, “looked”= verb

Mary and Samantha arrived at the bus station early but waited until noon for the bus.
“Mary and Samantha”= compound subject, “arrived” and “waited”= compound verb

A simple sentence can also be referred to as INDEPENDENT CLAUSE. It is referred to as “independent” because, while it might be part of a compound or complex sentence, it can also stand by itself as a complete sentence.

COMPLEX SENTENCE
A complex sentence contains at least one “independent clause” and at least one “dependent clause”. DEPENDENT CLAUSE can refer to the subject (who, which) the sequence/time (since, while), or the causal elements (because, if) of the independent clause.
if a sentence begins with a dependent clause, note the comma after this clause. If, on the other hand, the sentence begins with an independent clause, there is not a comma separating the two clauses.

Dependent clauses such as those above cannot stand alone as a sentence, but they can be added to an independent clause to form a complex sentence. Dependent clauses begin with SUBORDINATING CONJUNCTIONS. Below are some of the most common subordinating conjunctions: (after, although, as, because, before, even though, if, since, though, unless, until, when, whenever, whereas, wherever, while).
Example:
ALTHOUGH she completed her literature review, she still needed to work on her methods section.
 (note the comma in this sentence because it begins with a dependent clause)

BECAUSE he organized his sources by theme, it was easier for his readers to follow.
(note the comma in this sentence because it begins with a dependent clause)

They studied APA rules for many hours as they were so interesting.
(note that there is no comma in this sentence because it begins with an independent clause)

Complex sentences are often more effective than compound sentences because a complex sentence indicates clearer and more specific relationships between the main parts of the sentence.
