Explanation:

A simple sentence is a sentence with one main or independent clause only. It has only one ‘subject and predicate’.  

The given sentences in the question have to be changed into a compound sentence. The conjunction but joins two predicates and makes it a compound sentence. A ‘compound sentence’ is made up of ‘two or more independent clauses’ or two subjects or predicates joined by a conjunction. When two simple sentences are joined into one, they make a compound sentence.
