Explanation:
Compound Sentence
A COMPOUND SENTENCE is a sentence that is made up of two or more independent clauses. There are no dependent clauses in it. The independent clauses in a compound sentence are joined by coordinating conjunctions such as ‘or’, ‘and’ or ‘but’. For example, I really wanted to play the match, but I was too sick to stand even.
Example
His bite is bad, but his bark is worse.
Complex Sentence
A complex sentence has one independent and one or more dependent clauses. The clauses in a complex sentence can be in any order. If the dependent clause is first, a comma is usually after it.
Example
I hope that I will clear the test.
