A simple sentence contains a subject and a verb, and it expresses a complete thought. The subject or the verb may be compound. A simple sentence with a compound predicate has only one subject and a compound verb. In the sentence Alex moved to Bristol last week and started his new job with Cyber Technology today, Alex is the only subject for the two verbs in the compound predicate-moved and started.
A compound sentence has two or more independent clauses, each with a subject and a predicate. Alex moved to Bristol last week, and he started his new job with Cyber Technology today.
