Sure, here's the difference between a simple and a compound sentence:
Simple Sentence:
- A single independent clause.
- Contains a subject and a predicate.
- Cannot stand alone as a complete thought.
Compound Sentence:
- Two or more independent clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction.
- Contains a subject and a predicate for each clause.
- Can stand alone as a complete thought.
Here's an example of a simple sentence:
The dog barked.
And here's an example of a compound sentence:
The dog barked, and the owner was angry.
Simple sentences are typically short and straightforward, while compound sentences are typically longer and more complex.
