A few days ago we were learning to understand the differences between simple, compound and complex sentences. For example, "we have to go to bed when the clock chimes at ten o'clock" - this is a complex sentence. A simple sentence has one independent clause, and a complex sentence has one independent clause and one or more dependent clauses. A compound sentence has two independent clauses e.g. I was too busy to play SO he went outside without me. So is the conjunction that joins two independent clauses. A simple sentence has one independent clause with one or more nouns and one or more verbs.
