Question:-

Answer:-

He was weak and so he could not work hard.

Explanation:-

$\begin{gathered} \\ \end{gathered}$

First, let's see the meanings of simple, compound and complex sentence.

• Simple Sentence:- Simple sentences are sentences containing one independent clause, with a subject and a predicate.
• Compound sentence:- A sentence, when two independent related ideas clauses are connected by a conjunction, is called compound sentence.
• Complex Sentence:- A complex sentence is a sentence that contains an independent clause and one or more dependent clauses.

The sentence we were given is :- Since he was weak, he could not work hard. Here, the sentence contains 2 independent clauses, so , this is a complex sentence.

Now, let's see how to convert it into compound sentence.

Complex sentences which starts with as/since/when ; to convert it into compound sentence, first we have to remove as/since/when and put 'and' instead of the comma (,)

Doing this, we find:-

He was weak and so he could not work hard.

Some Examples:-

• Complex: As the porter was strong, he carried the heavy luggage.

Compound:- The porter was strong and he carried the heavy luggage.

• Complex: Since he was small, he could not work hard.

Compound: He was small and so could not work hard.

• Complex: As they were poor, they could not buy a new shirt.

Compound: They were poor and could not buy a new shirt.
