Yes, there is a difference between complex and compound-complex sentences. A complex sentence is a simple sentence with a subordinant clause in front of it (also known as a fragment). A compound-complex sentence is a compound sentence with a subordinant clause in front of it.
For example:
Complex:
As we ran onto the car, aliens attacked earth.
(as is the subordinant conjunction, and "Aliens attacked Earth" is a complete sentence.)
Compound-complex:
As we ran onto the car, aliens attacked earth, and the military retaliated.
(like te first sentence, as is still the subordinant conjunction, except I've added "The military retaliated", making it a compound-complex sentence. :D

Well, the usual sentence classifications are simple sentences, compound sentences, complex sentences, and compound-complex sentences. Simple sentences are the most basic kind, they consist of one independent clause. Compound sentences contain two independent clauses. Complex sentences contain an independent clause and a dependent clause. Compound-complex sentences contain at least two independent clauses and one dependent clause.
The difference between a compound sentence and a complex sentence is that a compound sentence has two independent clauses, connected by a Coordinator. A complex sentence on contains one independent clause. A complex sentence also always contains a subordinator.

Compound sentences have more than one independent clause. Complex sentences have dependent clauses. Compound-complex sentences have both. (simple) My dog ate my homework. (compound) My dog ate my homework, so I had to think up a good excuse. (complex) My dog ate the homework that I left on the chair. (compound-complex) My dog ate the homework that I left on the chair, but fortunately I still had the outline that I had written.

Pay attention on subjects and verbs to identify simple sentences , you will then include subordinates and coordinates for compound sentences .
The two types of compound sentences are coordinated compound sentences, where independent clauses are joined by a coordinating conjunction, and subordinated compound sentences, where independent clauses are joined by a subordinating conjunction.
