Packagehp.com – Definition, Types and Examples of Single Sentences As we know that a sentence is a set of words or phrases that are arranged or patterned. Sentences in Indonesian itself can be classified into two sentence patterns, namely sentences with single patterns and sentences with compound patterns. Now in the admin review, I will explain about single sentences.
And to find out more details, please refer to the following explanation.
Definition of Single Sentence
A single sentence is a sentence that is composed of one pattern, namely subject, predicate, object and can also be equipped with information. Single sentences are also often referred to as simple sentences. Single sentences do not have conjunctions.
Single sentences are also commonly referred to as simple sentences or simplex sentences. With a sentence pattern like that, this sentence only contains one main piece of information and has no subordinate clause. Like the following example:
- Andi is walking to his bedroom
- Lily’s sister is studying
- Mr. Andi is eating chicken soup
Those are some examples of sentences with simple singular patterns. But there are times when these sentences can be expanded by adding descriptions. For example as follows.
- Andi is playing soccer on the school field
- Yesterday dad visited uncle at the hospital
- Today mom is not going to the market
The opposite of this sentence is a sentence that has more than one pattern or is also called a compound sentence. Sentences with a single pattern have several characteristics. The characteristics are as follows:
- In general, it starts with a capital letter
- It only describes one main event.
- Never use conjunctions (conjunctions)
- In the sentence do not use a comma (,)
- It only has one sentence structure, namely subject, predicate, object and or adverb. If there is more than one of these structures, it can be said as a compound sentence.
Types and Examples of Single Sentences
There are several types of sentences with a single pattern, including the following:
- Nominal sentence
Nominal sentences are sentences with a single pattern whose predicate is a noun (nominal). For example, my mother is a farmer. The subject is mother and the predicate is a farmer (nominal). Below are other examples:
- My sister Lisa is a diligent child
- Andi is a student at MTS 2 Cirebon
- The ring is an antique left by grandfather
- The voice just now was the sound of a rooster
- The person behind the mask is Andi
- Adjective Sentence
Adjective sentences are sentences with a single pattern whose predicate is an adjective (adjective). For example, in the sentence, Andi is very kind to his parents. The subject is Andi and the predicate is very good (adjective) while the word “to the parents” is the description. Other examples are as follows:
- Toni is a stubborn kid
- Arif is a forgiving child
- Andi’s house is very spacious
- The house is so small
- Numerical Sentence
Numerical sentences are sentences with a single pattern whose predicate is a number word. For example, as in the sentence, the school is hundreds of years old. The subject is school and the predicate is hundreds of years old. Other examples such as:
- It took days to get there
- You have 30 minutes to complete the task
- Verbal Sentence
Verbal sentences are sentences with a single pattern whose predicate is a verb (verb). Like the sentence, Andi took the cake on the table. The subject is Andi and the predicate is to take while the word “cake” is an object and the word “on the table” is an explanation. Other examples such as:
- Brother runs very fast
- Mother goes to the market
- Toni is making Tart
- Crocodiles are targeting their prey
- The car is moving very slowly
- Prepositional Sentence
A prepositional sentence is a sentence with a single pattern whose predicate is a preposition. Like the sentence, the folder is on my mother’s desk. The subject is the map and the predicate is above, while the word “mother’s work desk” is an explanation. Other examples such as:
- The new student comes from the city of Cirebon
- Andi to Toni’s house this afternoon
- The book is on the library table
