6
Multiple Choice

James and his friends.
went to the store and had a good time

Although a simple sentence cannot have a dependent clause, it can have modifiers:
First, we need to define modifiers. Modifiers are words that give more information or details about another word or words in the same sentence.
Example: The tall student sitting in the back in my algebra class yawned loudly
The basic sentence is ‘The student yawned’. The other words are modifiers - they are descriptive words.
8
A simple sentence contains only one independent clause, but it can have more than one subject or verb
Example: Sadie and her friend yawned loudly. (even though its more than one person in the subject it's still a simple sentence!)
Sadie yawned loudly and went to sleep. (this sentence has two verbs but it is still a simple sentence!
9
A sentence with all these elements will be long, but it is still simple because it contains only one independent clause
Example: The tall student sitting in the back in my physics class and his friend yawned loudly and fell asleep ( this is still a simple sentence. The base of this sentence is "The student and his friend yawned and fell asleep". The rest of the words are modifiers or add details to the sentence. )
10
Beware of fragments
Sentence fragments are incomplete sentences that don't contain a complete thought. When you read these sentences you are confused because they DO NOT make sense!
Example: James outside. ( does this sentence make sense? what is this sentence missing?)
