*A simple sentence consists of only one clause.

Ex- I have been on rather too many planes and trains recently.(The given sentence has only one finite verb and hence it has only one clause.)

*A compound sentence consists of two or more independent clauses.

Ex- Two minutes ago the child was fast asleep, but now he is wide awake.(The given sentence has two coordinate clauses connected by the conjunction but.)

*A complex sentence has at least one independent clause plus at least one dependent clause.

Ex- We met rather few people who spoke English. (The given sentence has a main clause and a subordinate adjective clause.)

Hope it helped you :)
