Combining two or more independent clauses with one or more dependent clauses results in a compound-complex sentence. It offers a greater degree of complexity and permits a wider range of ways to represent links between ideas.
An example of a compound sentence is one that has two or more separate clauses joined together with coordinating conjunctions, semicolons, or occasionally conjunctive adverbs. Each independent clause in a compound sentence is a complete sentence that expresses a separate thought.
A complex sentence is one that has at least one dependent clause and one independent clause. A dependent clause, also known as a subordinate clause, depends on the independent clause to provide it with its entire meaning because it cannot stand alone as a complete sentence. The expression of links between ideas, such as cause and effect or condition and consequence, is made possible by complex sentences.
A complete sentence that can stand alone and represent a complete notion is called an independent clause. It can stand alone as a sentence because it has both a subject and a predicate (verb).
A sentence that represents a full notion and has just one independent clause is said to be simple. It is a complete sentence that consists of a subject and a predicate (verb). The most fundamental and typical sentence structure in the English language is the simple sentence.

Conjunctions are used to link together individual words, phrases, clauses, or sentences. Conjunctions facilitate the development of more complex and meaningful statements by establishing links between various elements in a phrase.
