COMPOUND AND COMPLEX SENTENCE

Let's discuss the difference between #compound and #complex sentence.

1. Compound_Sentence

In a #compound sentence, there are two #independent clauses. (#Independent clause means a sentence which doesn't depend on other sentence to complete its sense.)

#For_Example:-

Everyone was busy, so i went to the market alone.

so this sentence has TWO parts:-

Everyone was busy

I went to the market alone.

and both have complete meaning and joined by conjunction "so"
This is called a #Compound sentence.

The independent clauses can be joined by a coordinating conjunction i.e. for, and, nor, but, or, yet and so on.....

2. Complex_Sentence

In a #Complex sentence, there is an independent, and a dependent clause.

Although he was wealthy, he was still unhappy.

In this sentence, Although he was wealthy, depends on other clause(he was still unhappy) , to complete its sense.

this is called a #Complex sentence.

Although it was very long, the movie was still enjoyable.
