The sentence "Tom and Harry enjoy reading novels and newspapers" can be classified as:
1. Simple.
- A simple sentence is formed by one independent clause, that is, a group of words that has a subject and a predicate.
- A simple sentence can stand on its own and make sense, conveying a full thought.
- A compound sentence is formed by joining two independent sentences and connecting them with a coordinating conjunction (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, and so).
- A complex sentence is formed by joining one independent clause and one dependent clause. We connect them with a subordinating conjunction (because, while, when, after, etc.)

- "Tom and Harry" - subject
- "enjoy reading novels and newspapers" - predicate (verb + object)
