Question

change the sentence into a compound and a complex sentences , we stayed indoors due to rain​

Answer 1

Answer:

Compound sentence: ‘We stayed indoors because it was raining’.

Complex sentence: ‘We stayed indoors for the fact that it was raining’.

Explanation:

The sentence ‘we stayed indoors due to rain,’ is a simple sentence with one main or independent clause only. It has only one subject and predicate.  

A ‘compound sentence’ is one that has ‘two or more main clauses’ joined by conjunctions. Here the conjunction is ‘because’.

A ‘complex sentence’ has one ‘main clause’ and two or more ‘subordinate or dependent clause’. Here ‘we stayed indoors’ is the main clause and ‘that it was raining’ the subordinate clause.

Answer 2

Compound sentence:

It was raining, so we stayed indoors.

Explanation:

• A sentence with more than one subject and predicate is called compound sentence.
• The two clauses are connected with conjunctions or comma or semicolon.

Complex sentence:

Because of rain, we stayed indoors.

Explanation:

• A sentence with a dependent and an independent clause is called as complex sentence.
• One clause will give a complete sense "we stayed indoors" and another clause has no complete meaning.
