Simple sentences

• Examples of simple sentences

The simple sentences They are units of meaning that have syntactic autonomy and that are composed of a single predicate. All the verbs of the sentence correspond to the same subject and, therefore, are housed in a single predicate (which can be simple or compound).

For example:

• Juan was hungry. "Juan" is the subject and "was hungry" is the simple verbal predicate (since it has only one verb).
• Juan was hungry and ate too much. "Juan" is the subject and "he was hungry and ate too much" is the compound verbal predicate (since it has two verbs that correspond to the same subject).

The compound sentences, on the other hand, they have two predicates since their verbs are executed by different subjects. For this reason, they are divided into propositions or suborations. For example: Juan was hungry and his friends bought him a hamburger.
