HDefine and explain the difference between a simple subject and a complete subject. 3. Define and explain the difference between a simple predicate and a complete predicate. 4. Define & explain the difference between a simple sentence, a compound sentence, a complex sentence, and a compound-complex sentence..

Answer and explanation:

A simple subject is the main word in the subject, the one that truly expresses the relationship with the verb. A complete subject is the main word plus all modifiers that appear in a subject. Study the example below:

The tired, sweaty player passed out in the middle of the field.

Who passed out?

Simple subject: player

Complete subject: the tired, sweaty player

A predicate is the part of the sentence that tells us what the subject is or does. A simple predicate consists of the verb or verb phrase. A complete predicate consists of the verb or verb phrase plus all the other words that are not part of the subject. Study the example below:

The tired, sweaty player passed out in the middle of the field.

Simple predicate: passed out

Complete predicate: passed out in the middle of the field.

A compound sentence is formed by joining two independent clauses connected by a coordinating conjunction - for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so. Example: I went to school, but I didn't see my best friend there.

A complex sentence is formed by joining an independent clause and a dependent one. A dependent clause needs the independent one to give it context, so that it makes sense. It does not express a complete thought on its own. Example: I went to school because my mother made me.

A compound-complex sentence is formed by two independent clauses and a dependent one, at least. Example: Because my mother made me, I went to school; but I didn't see my best friend there.
