Question

What is the structure of the following sentence?
While you were on vacation, I watered the plants.
simple
complex
compound
compound-complex

Answer 1

It's not a simple sentence: it has more than one clause.

It is also not compound: the two clauses are not independent and a compound has independent clauses.

It is however complex: the two clauses are not independent (While you were on vacation is the dependent clause). This is the correct answer.

(it's not compound-complex because it has 2 and not more clauses)

Answer 2
