The complex sentence refers to the sentence which contains at least one dependent clause and an independent clause. A dependent clause is the clause which cannot stand alone in its meaning on the other hand independent clause refers to the phrase which can stand alone, though both have a subject and a verb.  


A sentence which contains two independent clauses with related ideas is referred to as a compound sentence. One way to punctuate a compound sentence correctly is to join the two independent clauses with a semicolon and a coordinating conjunction.


A simple sentence is a form of sentence which has one independent clause and has no dependent clauses. It can stand alone for its meaning as a sentence.
