A simple sentence is one independent clause that has a subject and a verb and expresses a complete thought. Notice that there are some important requirements for a simple sentence:

1. Must have a subject and a verb.

2. Must express a complete thought.

3. Must only have one clause.

Examples of Simple Sentence:

1. Joe went to the store.

2. The pizza smells delicious.

A compound sentence has at least two independent clauses that have related ideas.

The independent clauses can be joined by a coordinating conjunction (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so) or by a semicolon, as you can see in the compound sentence examples below.

In either case, each half of the sentence must be able to stand on its own as a complete sentence. That means each half needs a subject and a verb. For example:

I want the sporty red car, but I will lease the practical blue one.

In the sentence above, the subjects are italicized and the verbs are in bold. The first half is a complete sentence because it contains the subject "I" and the verb "want." The second half that comes after the comma and coordinating conjunction is also a complete sentence, with the subject "I" and the verb "will lease."

please mark me as brainliest! ^_^

}•a compound sentence is made up of two or more clauses all of equal rank all capable of standing independently. since clauses of equal rank are called co-ordinate clauses, a compound sentence is made up of only co-ordinate clauses.
}•a complex sentence is made up of one principal clause and one more subordinate clause.
