The document discusses the components of a complete simple sentence, noting that a comma splice occurs when a comma is used instead of a period between two independent clauses. It emphasizes that a complete verb must indicate tense to form a proper sentence, and provides the example sentence "Johnny walked to school" to illustrate a complete simple sentence with a subject ("Johnny") and predicate ("walked to school").
