The structure of complete left symmetric algebras and that of simple left symmetric algebras over a solvable Lie algebra have been studied by many authors (cf.[K], [SEG], [B]). In [SHI] the structure of left symmetric algebras with a principal idempotent was studied. In this paper, we shall study the structure of left symmetric algebras with a principal idempotent in $\rm I$ (resp. a principal nilpotent in $\rm II$) and give some examples of simple left symmetric algebras over a solvable Lie algebra in $\rm III$.
