To determine which of the following is a simple sentence, we need to understand what a simple sentence is. A simple sentence is a complete sentence that consists of only one independent clause and expresses a complete thought.
Let's analyze each of the options:
1. "He bakes many kinds of bread."
This sentence is a simple sentence because it consists of one independent clause ("He bakes many kinds of bread") and expresses a complete thought.
2. "He realized that he had left his phone at home after he left."
This sentence is not a simple sentence because it contains a dependent clause ("He realized that he had left his phone at home") and an independent clause ("after he left"). To be a simple sentence, it should only have one independent clause.
3. "She put on her shoes, and then she went running in the rain."
This sentence is not a simple sentence because it contains two independent clauses ("She put on her shoes" and "then she went running in the rain") joined by a coordinating conjunction ("and"). A simple sentence should consist of only one independent clause.
4. "Before going to bed, I always floss and brush my teeth."
This sentence is not a simple sentence because it contains a dependent clause ("Before going to bed") and an independent clause ("I always floss and brush my teeth"). To be a simple sentence, it should only have one independent clause.
Therefore, the correct simple sentence from the given options is: "He bakes many kinds of bread."
