This document discusses simple sentences and their structure. It notes that a simple sentence contains one subject-verb pair and provides examples of simple sentences with compound subjects and compound verbs. While the subject or verb may be compound, as long as there is only one subject-verb pair, it remains a simple sentence. Formulas are presented to illustrate the subject-verb structure of different simple sentence types.
