Exercise 12

A simple sentence has one independent clause. A compound sentence has two or more independent clauses. A complex sentence has an independent clause and a dependent clause. Indicate whether the following sentences, all of which are punctuated correctly, are simple, compound, or complex. Hint: A sentence is not compound unless the words preceding and following a conjunction form independent clauses. If these groups of words could not stand alone as sentences, the group of words is not compound.
