Simple sentence structures and logical word order

Simple Sentences:
A simple sentence is one that consists of a single subject and a single predicate. That is, it expresses a complete and concrete idea.

A simple sentence has a single core: subject and predicate.
The logical order in Spanish is usually: Subject + Verb + Complements.
This order helps make the sentence clear and easy to understand.

Here are some examples: 
1 The dog eats kibble.
2 The girl reads a book.
3 We travel to the beach.
4 The teacher teaches math.
5 My brother cooks pasta.

The dog eats the food.
(Subject + Verb + Complement)

Command: The dog / eats / the food.
The girl reads a book.

Command: The girl / reads / a book.
The man buys fruit.

Command: The man / buys / fruit.
We study at school.

Command: We / study / at school.
The flower grows in the garden.

Command: The flower / grows / in the garden.

In these sentences, the order is:
-subject (who performs the action)
-Verb (the action the subject performs)
-Complements (additional information, such as what, where, when).

Explanation:
Subject:
This is the part of the sentence that performs the action. It can be a noun, a pronoun, or a group of words that functions as a noun.

Verb: Indicates the action or state of the subject. It is the core of the 

predicate.:
This is what is said about the subject. It includes the verb and all its accompanying complements, such as direct, indirect, and circumstantial objects.

Examples of simple sentences:
The sun is shining. (Subject: the sun, Verb: shines)
The children are playing in the park. (Subject: the children, Verb: play)
My dog barks a lot. (Subject: my dog, Verb: barks)
She is studying English. (Subject: she, Verb: studies)
I bought a new book. (Subject: I (unspoken), Verb: bought)
It is very hot. (Subject: impersonal, Verb: does)
They arrived late to the party. (Subject: they (unspoken), Verb: arrived)
The cat is sleeping on the couch. (Subject: the cat, Verb: sleeps)
Pedro and María are friends. (Subject: Pedro and María, Verb: are)
I drink coffee in the morning. (Subject: I (unspoken), Verb: drink)

It can be a noun, a pronoun, or even an implied subject (not spoken but understood by context).
Subject nucleus: This is the most important word in the subject, usually a noun or pronoun.
Subject modifiers: These can be articles, adjectives, or other words that complement the nucleus.
