Explanation:

How can a sentence be made simple?

There is only one primary clause in a simple sentence. There are no subordinate clauses in it. One main clause and one or more supporting clauses make up a complicated sentence. By condensing a secondary clause into a word or phrase, a complicated statement can be changed into a simple one. One independent clause makes up a basic sentence. In a simple sentence, there should be no commas between any two compound parts (subject, verb, direct object, indirect object, subjective complement, etc.).

Which four categories of simple sentences exist?

1. Declarative sentence (statement)
2. Interrogative sentence (question)
3. Imperative sentence (command)
4. Exclamative sentence (exclamation)

Thus, dependent and subordinate clauses are not used in simple sentences.
