Simple Sentence Examples for Kindergarten ELA Students

📚 Quick Study Guide: Simple Sentences for Kindergarten

• 💡 A simple sentence is like a mini-story! It tells one complete idea.
• 🌟 Every simple sentence needs two main parts: a "who" or "what" (the subject) and a "doing word" (the verb).
• ✍️ It always starts with a BIG letter (a capital letter) and ends with a little dot (a period .).
• 🗣️ Examples: "The cat sleeps." (Cat is the 'who', sleeps is the 'doing word'). "Birds fly." (Birds is the 'who', fly is the 'doing word').
