π Topic Summary
A simple sentence is a group of words that tells a complete thought. It has a subject (who or what the sentence is about) and a verb (what the subject does or is). Think of it as the foundation of all your writing. For example, "The dog barks." is a simple sentence. "Dog" is the subject, and "barks" is the verb.
