A complex sentence contains one independent clause and at least one dependent clause.Examples (dependent clauses are in italics, independent clauses are in bold):I returned my shoes because they didn't fit.After returning the shoes, I treated myself to dinner and a movie.When the dependent clause introduces the sentence, a comma is required after it.
A compound sentence is one that contains at least two independent clauses and is typically joined by a conjunction. An independent clause contains a subject and predicate and forms a complete thought.Example: Mary went to the park, and David went to the store.A complex sentence contains one independent clause and one or more dependent clauses. Unlike independent clauses, dependent clauses cannot stand alone as complete sentences.Example: Because it's raining today, Mary will not be going to the park.
A compound sentence. --Sunset Shew --May31,2012
An independent clause can stand on its own as a sentence. A dependent clause contains a subject and verb but cannot be a sentence. In the sentence "I'll stop by your office after I finish my lunch", "I'll stop by your office" is an independent clause, and "after I finish my lunch" is a dependent clause.
As in sentence types? A complex sentence is one that has one or more dependent clauses and an independent clause. The dependent clause can be located anywhere in the sentence. A compound sentence is one that contains two or more independent clauses.
A simple sentence only has one independent clause and no dependent clauses. A compound sentence has at least two independent clauses and can also have a dependent clause. The two independent clauses of a compound sentence are joined by a coordinating conjunction (and, but, or).Simple sentence example: I am walking.Compound sentence example: I am walking, but my friend is running.
