A simple sentence is like a mini-story. It has one idea and is made of a subject (who or what the sentence is about) and a predicate (what the subject does). For example: 'The dog barks.' A compound sentence is like two mini-stories joined together! It combines two simple sentences using words like 'and,' 'but,' or 'or,' and often a comma. For example: 'The dog barks, and the cat meows.'
Match the words with their meanings:
| Word | Definition |
|---|---|
| 1. Subject | A. Combines two simple sentences |
| 2. Predicate | B. A sentence with one main idea |
| 3. Simple Sentence | C. Who or what the sentence is about |
| 4. Compound Sentence | D. What the subject does or is |
| 5. Conjunction | E. A word like 'and', 'but', or 'or' |
