Explanation:
I have been able to match each example to its correct sentence structure.
A compound sentence is known as a sentence whereby a semicolon, comma or conjunction is used to join at least two independent clauses. The independent clauses are clauses that give a complete thought and they have a subject and a verb.
A compound-complex sentence is a sentence known to comprise of one or more dependent clauses and at least two independent clauses. Dependent clauses do not give a complete thought. They actually depend on the independent clauses to give a complete thought.
A complex sentence is a sentence that actually contains an independent clause and one or more dependent clauses. While a simple sentence is known to be a sentence that actually consists of just one independent clause. A simple sentence gives a complete thought and has no dependent clause(s).
