Explanation:

The simple sentence is an independent clause that contains a subject and at least one predicate. It does not contain other dependant or subordinate clauses.

e.g. I can hear the wind chimes.

The complex sentence consists of one independent clause and at least one dependent clause.

e.g. When you go to bed, turn out the  light.

The compound sentence consists of two independent clauses with related ideas, which are joined by a conjunction (for, but, and, yet, so, etc.).

e.g. Lara has a cold, but it's almost gone .

The compound-complex sentence represents a union between the compound and complex sentences. It consists of at least two independent clauses and one dependant clause.

e.g. After you leave, the cat cries, and the  dog barks.
