Simple and Compound Sentences

A simple sentence has one subject and one verb or predicate.
Example:

A compound sentence is a sentence with at least two independent clauses.
An independent clause (unlike a dependent clause) can stand alone as a sentence.
Example:
Mary went to work. John went to the party. I went home. →
Mary went to work, but John went to the party, and I went home.
