A simple sentence is a sentence with one subject and one predicate. A simple sentence can stand by itself and make sense. Like these:\n\n"/We kissed/."\n"/I kissed/ her."\n"/I kissed/ her in the rain."\n\nThey all have one subject-and-predicate and stand on their own.\n-----\nA compound sentence has two or more subject-and-predicate sections (known as clauses). Both of the clasues could stand alone and make sense, but are being combined into one sentence. Like this one(from the source):\n\n"/Mary understands/ math ; /she has studied/ it for years."\n\nThe two clauses could stand alone, but are being combined in this sentence.\n-----\nA complex sentence also has two or more clauses. It has one independent clause. The rest are dependent on the first. For example:\n\n"/It was wet outside/, so /I put my coat on./"\n\nIf it wasn't wet outside, you would not have put your coat on. /I put.../ is dependent, while /It was.../ is independent.\n\nDid that make sense? Either way, just go to the sources I have. I can't explain anything.

The sentence "I watched figure skating yesterday." is just fine.  Well, done.  Don't listen to all the other people that want you to change it to make it all complicated and serious sounding, they're just trying to sound intelligent.  There's absolutely nothing wrong with writing simple sentences when you're just learning a language.\nWhat is you first language anyway?  You seem to know English pretty well so far.

Compound sentences use words like..(but and ). Those are words that join sentences or help add more. You do not change the sentence you simply join them together....\n\nThe rabbit jumped into the bushes and the dog followed it.

In syntax, a sentence with an independent clause and at least one dependent clause (subordinating clause) is referred to as a complex sentence. The dependent clause is introduced by either a subordinate conjunction such as although, while or because or a relative pronoun such as who or which.\n\n[Examples\nWhen I saw what you had done, I was happy. \nIndependent clause: I was happy. \nDependent clause: When I saw what you had done \nThat you love me makes me happy. \nA complex sentence with a sub-clause functioning as a subject. \nIndependent clause: (subject) makes me happy. \nDependent clause: That you love me (acting as the subject) \nIt makes me happy that you love me. \nA clefted complex sentence with a sub-clause indicating what the dummy pronoun "It" refers to. \nIndependent clause: It makes me happy. \nDependent clause: that you love me \nThe book is where you have put it. \nA complex sentence with a sub-clause functioning as subject complement. "Be" is a copula verb; it links the sub-clause to the subject. \nIndependent clause: The book is (complement). \nDependent clause: where you have put it (acting as the complement)

Do not know where to start. It is not that easy.\nHere are some basics:\n*every noun has an article and a gender you have to know\n*the adjectives change in relation to the gender\n*the order of a simlpe sentence is: pronoun, verb, object in the present tense but in the past it is pronoun, object, verb\n*pronounce every letter (ex. do not skip an e at the end)\n*be aware of umlaut ä,ö,ü\n......

I am sorry, but I do not understand your Question.\n\nDo you mean the "exact usage" of an English word?\n\nA sentence is a single thought, expressed.\n\n"Sentence:\n\nA combination of words which is complete as\n      expressing a thought, and in writing is marked at the\n      close by a period, or full point. \n      [1913 Webster]\n\n   Note: Sentences are simple or compound. A simple sentence\n         consists of one subject and one finite verb; as, "The\n         Lord reigns." A compound sentence contains two or more\n         subjects and finite verbs." [1913 Webster]\n\nOr, maybe you mean "tense." That is how verbs are conjugated.\n\n"Tense &#92;Tense&#92;, n. [OF. tens, properly, time, F. temps time,\n   tense. See Temporal of time, and cf. Thing.] (Gram.)\n   One of the forms which a verb takes by inflection or by\n   adding auxiliary words, so as to indicate the time of the\n   action or event signified; the modification which verbs\n   undergo for the indication of time.\n   [1913 Webster]\n\nI look. I looked. I am looking. etc.,\n\nEnglish is very difficult to learn as a second language. Make friends with native-speakers, talk to them and practice.\n\nBest of luck to you!  :-))

Are you discussing a class in school?  Or are you discussing the grammatical "simple subject"?\n\nIf it is a class, that totally depends on your interests.\nIf it is part of grammar, that would be You, "I", "He", "She", or "It". An example would be "I ran."   I is the simple subject, ran is the verb.

The answer is B.  \n\nA compound sentence can be taken apart to form two complete sentences:\n\nSue gave Jim a new racket.  He left for the tennis courts.

It depends on what the sentence is talking about.  \n\nFor example, if your original sentence says "James Mitchell is the instructor of the class." the revised sentence can be "James Mitchell instructs the class."\n\nWithout more detail, I can't suggest any verbs in particular.

There are two basic parts to a sentence: the subject part and the predicate part. The subject part contains the simple subject and all of its modifiers. The predicate part contains the verb and all of its modifiers.\n\nExample: Mary who is the girl who scored the winning  goal in the high school finals became a star in college three years later.\n\n"Mary who is the girl who scored the winning  goal in the high school finals" is the subject part of the sentence. Mary is the simple subject.\n\n"became a star three years later in college" is the predicate part of the sentence. Became is the verb of the sentence.\n\nThe subject part is what the sentence is about, and the predicate part makes a statement about the subject part.\n\nI hope this helps!!

Not very good grammar is it?

There's an easy way to tell- take out the other person and see if the sentence sounds correct.\n\nFor example: "Me and Johnny went to the store." is incorrect, because without 'Johnny', it becomes "Me went to the store.", which we know is wrong.  Hence the correct version is 'Johnny and I went to the store.".  (Don't ask me why you have to switch it around that way, it just sounds better than "I and Johnny went to the store.").\n\nAlternatively, in the sentence "John took Trisha and me to the mall.", using 'me' is correct because if you took 'Trisha' out, you'd get "John took me to the mall.", versus the incorrect "John took I to the mall." if you tried "John took Trisha and I to the mall.".\n\nThere's a complex rationale behind it about the subjects and objects of sentences and all that, but I find this is the best way to explain it- simple and to the point, with a way to test it.\n\nHope that helps!

well, follow your heart. don't follow your head. if your heart says that your sentence is right, it'll be right. but, first, read up your basics. for examples, singular and plural. i only know singular and plural and i can score the best in my english in my school. if u can't, the best u can do is just shoot!!

First of all, you need to make complete sentences. \n\nSecond, try to type with complete words, don't use slang, such as u when you write.\n\nThird, if you can ask a question about your sentence, it is a fragment sentence. it means  you have wrote an incomplete sentence.\n\nExample: now I m primary 3 \nYou need to explain what primary 3 is.\n\nExample: I want u to teach me to improve my English Grammar so that I don't need to go 4 my Grammar class or my mother will teach me\n\nit should read:  I would like to improve my English Grammar, so I don't have to go to my Grammar class or have my mother teach me. Could help me with my English Grammar, please?\n\nThe best person to go to would be your English teacher and ask for help. The teacher could give you some after school tutoring or have another teacher or student assist you. There is no shame to ask the teachers for help. Good luck with your English Grammar .  \n\nYou also have to watch your spelling, when writing your sentences.
