Answers

- Compound sentence- a sentence with more than one subject or predicate.
- Complex sentence- a sentence containing a subordinate clause or clauses.
Answer:
Simple sentence: A simple sentence is a sentence that consists of just one independent clause. A simple sentence has no dependent clauses. (An independent clause (unlike a dependent clause) can stand alone as a sentence.) Examples of simple sentences include the following: Joe waited for the train. The train was late.
Compound sentence: A compound sentence is a sentence that has at least two independent clauses joined by a comma, semicolon or conjunction. An example of a compound sentence is, 'This house is too expensive, and that house is too small.
Complex sentence: A complex sentence is a sentence that contains an independent clause and one or more dependent clauses. An independent clause can stand alone as a sentence, but a dependent clause even though it has a subject and a verb cannot stand alone. An example of complex sentence is, 'Because my coffee was too cold, I heated it in the microwave'.
