Best Answer

In a sentence, an independent clause expresses a complete thought. A dependent clause, while it may contain nouns and verbs, does not create a sentence that could stand alone.

Compound sentences contain more than one independent clause.

Complex sentences contain one independent clause and one or more dependent ones.

Compound-complex sentences contain more than one independent clause, and at least one dependent clause.
