Simple sentences: A simple sentence is an independent clause with no conjunction or dependent clause.

Compound sentences: A compound sentence is two independent clauses joined by a conjunction (e.g., and, but, or, for, nor, yet, so).

Complex sentences: A complex sentence contains one independent clause and at least one dependent clause. The clauses in a complex sentence are combined with conjunctions and subordinators, terms that help the dependent clauses relate to the independent clause. Subordinators can refer to the subject (who, which), the sequence/time (since, while), or the causal elements (because, if) of the independent clause.

Compound-complex sentences: A compound-complex sentence contains multiple independent clauses and at least one dependent clause. These sentences will contain both conjunctions and subordinators.Examples of compound-complex sentences include: "Although it was raining, we decided to go for a walk, and we took our umbrellas with us." This showcases how both conjunctions and subordinators function to connect the ideas effectively.
