2. Simple Sentences
A simple sentence expresses a complete thought. It has a subject and a predicate.

(Who the sentence is about is the subject and what they were is the predicate.)

4. Compound Sentence
A compound sentence contains 2 simple sentences joined by a comma and a conjunction such as and, but, or or.
Ex: Fans waited many hours to see him, but Satch never let them down.
(The first part of the compound sentence is a simple sentence joined by a comma and a conjunction and followed by another simple sentence.)
Simple sentence, conj second simple sent.

5. You try to identify if the sentence is simple or compound.
Ex: Chele is the pitcher for Leland Lions.
Simple because it has one subject and one predicate.
Ex: She winds up ten times, and then she lets it fly.
Compound because there are 2 simple sentences joined by a comma and a conjunction.

6. The Complex Sentence
Complex sentences contain an independent clause, which can stand alone, and a dependent clause, which cannot stand alone.
Conjunctions such as after, although, because, before, since, until, when, and while are used to connect related ideas.
Ex: When the second baseman caught the ball, the Tigers made a double play.
