Simple sentence: A sentence with one independent clause and no dependent clauses. My aunt enjoyed taking the hayride with you. China's Han Dynasty marked an official recognition of Confucianism. Compound Sentence: A sentence with multiple independent clauses but no dependent clauses. The clown frightened the little girl, and she ran off screaming.

Complex Sentence: A sentence with one independent clause and at least one dependent clause. After Mary added up all the sales, she discovered that the lemonade stand was 32 cents short.

Ok, a compound sentence is a sentence joining two or more independent clauses, using a conjuction. A simple sentence is a sentence that has one verb and subject. Finally, a complex sentence is a sentence using an independent clause, and a subooridnate clause, which is usually joined by a suboordinate conjuction.
