If a sentence is a compound sentence, you can break it up into two or more pieces which would be complete sentences in themselves. Example: I am going to visit my sister, and then I am going to go home. This could also be phrased as, I am going to visit my sister. Then I am going to go home. A simple sentence cannot lose any section without becoming a sentence fragment. For example: We are friends. If you remove any word from that sentence you no longer have a sentence.
Example sentence - I no longer felt hungry after I ate the sandwich.
