simple sentence
This is called a compound sentence. It consists of two or more independent clauses joined by coordinating conjunctions such as "and," "but," or "or." Each clause can stand alone as a complete sentence.
One independent clause + dependent clause= complex sentence Two independent clauses = compound sentence Two or more independent clauses + two or more dependent clauses = compound-complex sentence
These are called compound clauses. An example: [I went to the shop] and [I bought a loaf of bread].
You have described a "complex" sentence. - Simple sentence = An independent clause. - Compound sentence = Two independent clauses joined with a conjunction. - Complex sentence = An independent clause plus one or more dependent clauses.
No, a complex sentence contains one independent clause and one or more dependent clauses. A sentence containing two independent clauses is called a compound sentence.
A complex sentence has an independent clause and one or more dependent clauses. A compound sentence has 2 or more independent clauses. A compound-complex sentence has two or more independent clauses and one or more dependent clauses.
The simplest sentence consists of only a subject and a predicate (a noun and a verb) and is only one clause."Scott ran." is an example of such a sentence. It has one noun (Scott), one verb (ran), and is an independent clause (it stands alone as a sentence).A slightly more complex sentence can have two clauses as is evidenced by the following modification to the earlier example:"Scott ran, and he made it in time." The original sentence now contains two clauses (an independent one and a subordinate one).In general, though, "simple sentence" usually refers to a sentence with only one clause.
Compound sentence
One (APEX)
An independent clause has a noun and a verb; basically, it is a simple sentence. You can make more complex sentences by combining two or more independent clauses (simple sentences.) A sentence that contains at least two independent clauses is called a "compound sentence."An example of a compound sentence is:"I was not going to answer this question, but then I decided to do it anyway."A compound sentence is essentially two complete sentences combined with a comma and a conjunction (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so). Both of the bolded phrases above are independent clauses. Since they are combined with a comma and conjunction into a single sentence, that sentence is a compound sentence.
