 SIMPLE SENTENCES
Simple sentences are the most basic sentences in English. It
consists of one independent clause only. A complete simple
sentence consists of a subject and a predicate. A simple
sentence can be long or short, but the important thing is that
it has a group of words with the correct grammatical
structure.
Simple sentences must also be understood by those who read
them. Remember, simple sentences in English start with a
capital letter and end with a period. It is very important to
know what a correct sentence looks like so that we can know
whether the sentence is complete or not. Then, we can also
add punctuation correctly.
FUNCTION SIMPLE SENTENCES
writing a simple sentence that is correct then we can
convey whatever we want. Readers of our sentences
will also more easily digest what has been conveyed.
With simple sentences, we can express various
expressions, opinions or ideas from easy to difficult
levels.
 Formula Simple sentences
There are various types of simple sentences. Here are
the types of simple sentences:
1. Subject + verb, example: the girls cries
2. subject + verb + object: She blows the balloons
3. Subject + verb + adjective: Hendri was cruel
4. Subject + verb + adverb: We are going now
5. Subject + verb + noun: We paint walls
 Subject-verb Agreement
Subject verb agreement is the adjustment of verb
(verb) and subject (subject) of a sentence, whether it is
singular or plural subject. Subjects can be nouns,
pronouns and others.
adjustment between the verb (verb) and the subject of
a sentence in terms of number, namely: singular
(singular) or plural (plural).
Basically, singular subject (single subject) uses a
singular verb (singular verb), while plural subject
(plural subject) uses a plural verb (plural verbs).
 USE SUBJECT-VERB AGREEMENT
In general, in the simple present tense, singular verbs
are in the base form or bare infinitive (the basic form
of the verb) with the ending -s or -es added.
Subject-verb agreement becomes confusing when
faced with issues such as: the subject is a collective
noun, a compound subject, a plural form with a
singular meaning, and an indefinite pronoun.
 COLLECTIVE NOUN
Is a noun used to express the name of a group
(consisting of more than one member)
As a subject, this noun can be singular or plural
depending on the context. If group members do the
same thing simultaneously, then this noun is
considered as a subject unit with a singular verb.
Examples: The team is going on holiday now
The team are going on holiday now
 COMPOUND SUBJECT
A compound sentence is two subjects that are in one sentence.
There are several conditions to determine when we change the verb to be
plural or singular:

1. If two or more subjects, both singular and plural, are connected by

the coordinating conjunction "and", then the plural verb is used.
Example: Ichel and her brother go to school by bus.
2. If two or more singular subjects are connected by “or” or “nor”, ​a
singular verb is used. The opposite applies to plural subjects.
Example: To stay or to go is your prerogative.
3. If the compound subject consists of positive and negative subjects
(singular or plural), the verb follows the positive. Example: The staff
but not the manager have received their salaries.
