Jawaban:

A simple sentence has the most basic elements that make it a sentence: a subject, a verb, and a completed thought.

Examples of simple sentences include the following:

Joe waited for the train.

"Joe" = subject, "waited" = verb

The train was late.

"The train" = subject, "was" = verb

Mary and Samantha took the bus.

"Mary and Samantha" = compound subject, "took" = verb

I looked for Mary and Samantha at the bus station.

"I" = subject, "looked" = verb

Mary and Samantha arrived at the bus station early but waited until noon for the bus.

"Mary and Samantha" = compound subject, "arrived" and "waited" = compound verb  

Tip: If you use many simple sentences in an essay, you should consider revising some of the sentences into compound or complex sentences (explained below).

The use of compound subjects, compound verbs, prepositional phrases (such as "at the bus station"), and other elements help lengthen simple sentences, but simple sentences often are short. The use of too many simple sentences can make writing "choppy" and can prevent the writing from flowing smoothly.  

A simple sentence can also be referred to as an independent clause. It is referred to as "independent" because, while it might be part of a compound or complex sentence, it can also stand by itself as a complete sentence

Kalimat sederhana memiliki elemen paling dasar yang menjadikannya kalimat: subjek, kata kerja, dan pemikiran yang lengkap.

Contoh kalimat sederhana meliputi:

Joe menunggu kereta.

"Joe" = subjek, "menunggu" = kata kerja

Kereta terlambat.

"Kereta" = subjek, "was" = kata kerja

Mary dan Samantha naik bus.

"Mary dan Samantha" = subjek majemuk, "mengambil" = kata kerja

Saya mencari Mary dan Samantha di terminal bus.

"I" = subjek, "tampak" = kata kerja

Mary dan Samantha tiba di terminal bus lebih awal tetapi menunggu bus sampai tengah hari.

"Mary dan Samantha" = subjek majemuk, "tiba" dan "menunggu" = kata kerja majemuk

Tip: Jika Anda menggunakan banyak kalimat sederhana dalam sebuah esai, Anda harus mempertimbangkan untuk merevisi beberapa kalimat menjadi kalimat majemuk atau kalimat kompleks (dijelaskan di bawah).

Penggunaan subjek majemuk, kata kerja majemuk, frasa preposisional (seperti "di stasiun bus"), dan elemen lain membantu memperpanjang kalimat sederhana, tetapi kalimat sederhana sering kali pendek. Penggunaan terlalu banyak kalimat sederhana dapat membuat tulisan "terputus-putus" dan dapat membuat tulisan tidak mengalir dengan lancar.

Kalimat sederhana juga bisa disebut sebagai klausa independen. Ini disebut sebagai "independen" karena, meskipun mungkin merupakan bagian dari kalimat majemuk atau kompleks, ia juga dapat berdiri sendiri sebagai kalimat lengkap.
