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.
In order to be "compound," a sentence must have more than one independent clause. So a sentence with 2 or more independent clauses is a compound sentence.
A nonrestrictive clause is a clause that is not essential to the overall meaning of a sentence and cannot be punctuated as its own sentence; they are also known as nonessential clauses and dependant clauses. In the sentence "After he returned home from school, James realized that he had left a notebook on his bus," the introductory adverbial clause "After he returned home from school" modifies and is not essential to the meaning of the main clause "James realized that he had left a notebook on his bus" because it tells when the realization occurred; therefore, the clause is nonrestrictive.
No, you do not use a comma after "during that time" in a sentence unless separating clauses or adding a pause for clarity or emphasis.
A run-on sentence is a sentence that continues without appropriate punctuation to separate phrases or clauses, resulting in a lack of clarity or cohesion. There is no specific length that defines a run-on sentence, as it can be short or long depending on how many independent clauses are strung together without proper punctuation.
A comma helps to indicate pauses in a sentence, improving clarity and aiding in the understanding of the intended meaning. It can also help to separate items in a list or clauses within a sentence.
Yes, a comma is considered a text feature. It is a punctuation mark that separates words, phrases, or clauses in a sentence to aid in clarity and understanding.

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.
A sentence splice (alternately, comma splice) is when 2 independent clauses are joined by a comma. This is not grammatically correct. To fix a sentence splice, you can either change the comma to a semicolon, or you can add a coordinating conjunction after the comma (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so).
simple sentence
The comma goes after the word "but" when it is used to connect two independent clauses in a sentence. This separates the contrasting ideas provided by each clause for clarity and readability in the sentence structure.
To correct a compound sentence, ensure that it contains two independent clauses connected by a coordinating conjunction (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so) or a semicolon. If the clauses are improperly joined, you can either add the appropriate conjunction or replace the comma with a semicolon. Additionally, make sure that the clauses are complete thoughts that can stand alone. Finally, check for proper punctuation to enhance clarity.
