A simple sentence conveys only one idea.

The subject may consist of one or more nouns or pronouns and of the other words that go with them.

The predicate may consist of one or more nouns or pronouns and of the other words that go with them.

A simple sentence is also called an independent clause.

In some sentences, the pronoun you is omitted but is implied as the subject of these sentences.
