Explanation
Simple Sentence
A simple sentence is made up of only one clause. It has just one subject and one predicate.
Example
Flowers are beautiful.
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.
