How many subjects are in a simple sentence?

Answer
A simple sentence has one subject, which may be simple (single noun/pronoun) or compound (multiple nouns/pronouns joined by conjunctions). "The cat sleeps" has one simple subject (cat). "The cat and dog sleep" has one compound subject (cat and dog), but it's still considered one subject unit. Simple sentences never have multiple independent subjects in separate clauses.
