Aspara GusSimple sentence is the first thing that comes to mind.That was the first thing that came to my mind too. I can't seem to remember whether a complex sentence requires a subordinate clause, or whether a participial phrase will do. Now that they're calling these non-finite clauses, I just can't keep up!
