Question

The old lady sat in a corner and started praying to God. (Change into simple sentence.)

Answer 1

Answer:

being sat in a corner the lady started praying to God

Answer 2

Changing the compound sentence into a simple sentence, we will get - "Being sat in a corner the lady started praying to God"

• We know that a simple sentence can only have one clause, with a single subject and predicate.
• Using only one subject and one verb a simple sentence needs to have a complete thought.
• Here in the given compound sentence, there are two verbs- "sat" and "started".
• To change the given sentence into a simple sentence, we will use the present participle of the verb "be", i.e. "being" and the past participle of the verb "sit".
• Thus, the simple sentence will be - "Being sat in a corner the lady started praying to God".
