Simple Compound Complex Sentences

Simple sentence consists of a single independent clause. It has a subject and a verb, and expresses a single complete thought. Remember, it does not contain a dependent clause or another simple sentence. A compound sentence is made from two independent clauses, which are short sentences, that are combined with a conjunction (and). In a compound sentence, each clause, or each part, before and after the conjunction, would make sense on its own. A sentence that combines two clauses and uses a subordinating conjunction is called a complex sentence.
