A simple subject typically refers to a person, place, or thing, who is performing an action. The simple subject is a single word representing the subject without any of its modifiers or adjectives whereas a complete subject represents the subject along with all of its modifiers or adjectives.

A simple subject is a subject that has just one noun as the focus of the sentence. Every sentence has to have two parts: a subject and a verb (or predicate). The subject tells us who or what is the focus of the sentence. When we have a simple subject, there is only one noun that completes the action in the sentence.

Simple sentences are sentences containing one independent clause, with a subject and a predicate. Modifiers, compound subjects, and compound verbs/predicates can be used in simple sentences.

• “For instance …” “For example” and “for instance” can be used interchangeably.
• “To give you an idea …” Use this phrase to introduce a use case or example.
• “As proof …”
• “Suppose that …”
• “To illustrate …”
• “Imagine …”
• “Pretend that …”
• “To show you what I mean …”

Use a semicolon before such words and terms as namely, however, therefore, that is, i.e., for example, e.g., for instance, etc., when they introduce a complete sentence. It is also preferable to use a comma after these words and terms.

e.g.

A comma after “for example” is generally necessary no matter where it appears in the sentence. In particular, you need to place a post-comma when it serves as the introductory phrase of a sentence, when you’re parenthetically using it midway, and when it comes after a semicolon.

You use for example to introduce and emphasize something which shows that something is true. toys designed to promote the development of, for example, children’s spatial ability. Take, for example, the simple sentence: ‘The man climbed up the hill’.

E.g. stands for exempli gratia and means “for example.” I.e. is the abbreviation for id est and means “in other words.” Remember that E is for example (e.g.) and that I and E are the first letters of in essence, an alternative English translation of i.e.

In academic writing you often start a sentence with ‘for example’ – as in the example you provided. It’s correct English. Starting a sentence with “For example” looks good to me – nicely separates the general statement from the specific example. And, of course it’s a legitimate sentence if it has a verb and a subject.
