Explanation:-

• A sentence with one main clause and one or more sub clause is a complex sentence. Here the clauses are joined with binders (wh words, that, because etc.)
• A sentence containing more than one main clause is called a compound sentence. It contains more than one finite verb and the clauses will be joined with linkers (and, so, or, but etc.)
• To make each complex sentence into compound, simply replace the binders with linkers keeping the tense and sense of the sentence unchanged.
