OpenStudy (thoritegem):

A complex sentence has an independent clause joined by one or more dependent clauses. A complex sentence always has a subordinator such as because, since, after, although, or when or a relative pronoun such as that, who, or which Example: After they finished studying, Juan and Maria went to the movies.

OpenStudy (thoritegem):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

compound

OpenStudy (thoritegem):

Correct!

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

it has 2 independent clauses. So not a simple sentence.

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

It can stand on its what? Own. Compounds, joins two what? What signals it is compound? And, or, nor, but, etc.

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

I don't think this would be a compound, though, complex yes.

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

People get this confused, though.
