Explanation:
A simple sentence contains one independent clause. A compound sentence contains more than one! A simple sentence contains a subject and a predicate, but a compound sentence contains more than one subject and more than one predicate.
The simple predicate (simple verb) is a single word (or group of words if a verb phrase) representing the verb without any of its modifiers whereas a complete predicate refers to the predicate/verb as well as all of its modifiers.
In no. 3. The subject is hidden as it is an imperative sentence... So you may use a second person singular pronoun or noun as the Subject.
