Question

2. In the event of being innocent, he never thought of running away.l​

Answer 1

Answer:

A simple sentence consists of just one subject and one predicate. A compound sentence consists of two or more co-ordinate clauses, each of which has its own subject and predicate.

Compare:

Simple: Climbing up the tree, he plucked some mangoes. (One finite verb – One main clause)

Compound: He climbed up the tree and plucked some mangoes. (Two finite verbs – Two main clauses)

Here the simple sentence is transformed into a compound sentence by changing the participial phrase ‘climbing up the tree’ into the clause ‘he climbed up the tree’. Thus a simple sentence can be converted into a compound sentence by expanding a word or phrase into a clause and by using a coordinating conjunction to connect the clauses. More examples are given below:

Simple: Being ill, he didn’t attend the party.

Compound: He was ill and didn’t attend the party.

Simple: Besides being pretty, she is clever.

Compound: She is not only pretty but also clever.

Simple: In spite of his illness he attended the class.

Compound: He was ill, but he attended the classes.

Simple: He must run fast to catch the train.

Compound: He must run fast or he will not catch the train.
