Question

Can someone give me a simple short meaning of these words

Answer 1

Hey!

A simple sentence is a sentence that is made up of 1 independent clause.

Example: I am a human.

A complex sentence is made up of 1 independent clause AND 1 or more subordinate clauses.

Example: Because I did my homework, I had an A in the class.

A compound-complex sentence is made up of 2 or more independent clauses and 1 or more subordinate clauses.

Example: Although I like reading books, I haven't read any this summer, and I don't think I have time to.

A compound sentence is made up of 2 independent clauses.

Example: I like reading books, and I also like taking pictures.

I hope you find this useful :)
