anonymous · Answer

A simple sentence is a sentence with one independent clause.

A compound sentence contains two or more independent clauses

A complex sentence is a sentence that contains one independent clause and one or more dependent clauses.

A compound-complex sentence contains two or more independent clauses and one or more dependent clauses.

anonymous · Answer

dominantvampire · Answer

then again @Imperfect_Queen  WHAT are dependent and independent clauses

dominantvampire · Answer

yes, i did.

dominantvampire · Answer

wait a sec.

anonymous · Answer

A dependent clause is a group of words that also contains a subject and a verb, but it is not a complete thought. Because it is not a complete thought, a dependent clause cannot stand on its own as a sentence; it is dependent on being attached to an independent clause to form a sentence.
