What are the Differences between Simple, Compound, and Complex Sentences?

A sentence refers to the collection of words that are assembled in a way to make complete or logical sense. Varying upon the length, a sentence must have a subject and predicate. Depending upon the type, there are three major types of sentences divided on the basis of their structures including:

- Simple
- Compound
- Complex

A simple sentence is an independent clause. It has a subject and verb, sometimes an object or compliment are also involved. The subject refers to who or what the subject or thing is whereas, the verb, object or complement represents the predicate. A simple sentence is concise and has its subject and predicate.

For example, She looks gorgeous, she laughed.

A compound sentence is constructed by joining or connecting two or more simple sentences together. These simple sentences can be joined with the help of comma or coordinating conjunctions.

For example, She is gorgeous, and she is confident. (The sentences are connected with a comma and coordinating conjunction)

A complex sentence is formed by joining or connecting one simple sentence (independent clause) with one or more subordinating clause (dependent sentences). A subordinate clause means a sentence that depends upon an independent clause to give a proper meaning or sense.

For example, She laughs when she is happy (Independent clause + dependent clause)
