A simple sentence consists of only one clause. A compound sentence consists of two or more independent clauses. A complex sentence has at least one independent clause plus at least one dependent clause. A set of words with no independent clause may be an incomplete sentence, also called a sentence fragment.

Examples of a compound complex sentence:

Kate doesn't like cartoons because they are loud, so she doesn't watch them.The dog started barking so the cat ran away and I couldn't keep up, so I stopped.She likes to sleep in but she can get up early if she has work.
