I'm learning about sentence structure. What is a simple sentence?
user
A simple sentence is a sentence with only one independent clause, which means it expresses a complete thought with a subject and a verb. For example: "I like reading."
assistant
What about a compound sentence? How is it different?
user
A compound sentence is a sentence with two or more independent clauses joined by a conjunction, like "and" or "but." For example: "I like reading, and my sister likes writing."
assistant
That makes sense. So a compound sentence always has two subjects and two verbs?
user
Exactly! A compound sentence typically has two subjects and two verbs, each with its own independent clause.
