Question

what is the difference in compound and complex i need help

Answer 1

A compound sentence is made using conjunctions such as and, but, so, or and then.

For example,


He ate a banana

and

drank some juice

.

Usually, these sentences have to have two clauses. The two clauses are in bold in the sentence above.

A complex sentence is made without using the words and, but, so, or and then. It also has two clauses, which are in bold in the sentence below.
