Before we answer your question, we need to review some terms and their meanings.
在回答你的问题之前，我们需要回顾一些术语及其含义。
A clause is a grammar unit organized around a verb phrase.
小句是围绕动词短语而形成的语法单位。
A clause is made of two parts: a subject (the topic of a clause) and a verb (what is said about the topic).
小句由两部分组成：主语（从句的主题）和动词（关于主题的内容）。
For example, “we laughed” is a clause.
例如，“我们笑了”是一个小句。
“We” is the subject, and “laughed” is the verb.
“我们”是主语，“笑”是动词。
“In the morning” is not a clause because it does not have a verb.
“在早上”不是小句，因为它没有动词。
There are two main kinds of clauses.
小句主要有两种。
Independent clauses are not dependent on any other clause.
独立小句不依赖于任何其他小句。
They are sentences on their own.
它们本身就是句子。
“We laughed” is an independent clause.
“我们笑了”是一个独立的小句。
A dependent clause depends on an independent clause.
从属小句依赖于独立小句。
It cannot be a sentence on its own.
它本身不能是一个句子。
“Before I went,” for example, is a dependent clause because, although it has a subject and a verb, it requires additional information to be a full thought.
例如，“在我去之前”是一个从属小句，因为虽然它有一个主语和一个动词，但它需要额外的信息才能成为一个完整的想法。
We can sort sentences into three groups by the clauses they have.
我们可以根据句子所包含的小句，而将句子分成三类。
A sentence must have at least one independent clause.
一个句子必须至少有一个独立的小句。
The independent clause is a simple sentence.
独立小句是简单句。
For example: It snowed last night.
例如：昨天晚上下雪了。
When a sentence has two or more independent clauses, it is a compound sentence.
当一个句子有两个或两个以上的独立小句时，它是一个复合句。
For example: I went to the party, but he stayed home.
例如：我去参加聚会了，但他待在家里。
When a sentence has at least one independent clause as well as one or more dependent clauses, it is a complex sentence.
当一个句子至少有一个独立小句和一个或多个从属小句时，它是一个复杂句。
For example: I’ll call you when I get home.
例如：我到家后会给你打电话的。
Now, to answer your question, Kyaw!
现在，回答你的问题，觉！
Your example has only one clause.
你的例子中只有一个小句。
This means it is a simple sentence, not a complex sentence.
这说明它是一个简单句，而不是复杂句。
There are seven simple sentence patterns in English, but we can talk about those another day.
英语中有七种简单句型，但我们可以改天再谈。
We hope this explanation has helped you, Kyaw.
希望这个解释对你有所帮助，觉。
And that’s Ask a Teacher.
