1) A Compound Sentence is a sentence with more than one subject or predicate. Ex: "Empire is a school and the Ravens were awarded the A+ label." The mathematical breakdown for a Compound Sentence is IC + IC, or one independent clause plus another independent clause.

2) A Complex Sentence is a sentence containing a subordinate clause or clauses. Ex: "Mr. Shaw brought us a box of candy because he loved to see me smile." The mathematical breakdown for a Complex Sentence is IC + DC or DC + DC. These are short for one independent clause plus a dependent clause or one dependent clause plus another dependent clause.

3) A Compound Complex Sentence is a sentence having two or more coordinate independent clauses and one or more dependent clauses. Ex: "Students are heading up to the river, while eating their lunches, and teachers will gather the rest of the bags for the night." The mathematical breakdown for a Compound Complex Sentence is IC + DC + DC or IC + IC + DC. These are short for one independent clause plus a dependent clause plus another dependent clause. The other breakdown is one independent clause plus another independent clause plus a dependent clause.

1) "I tried to speak Spanish, and my friend tried to speak English." A compound sentence contains two independent clauses joined by a coordinator. 2) "When he handed in his homework, he forgot to give the teacher the last page." A complex sentence has an independent clause joined by one or more dependent clauses. 3) 3. Commas are used to give a slight pause while colons introduce information. Commas are used to emphasize words relationships to one another in a sentence while colons are used for greetings in a letter. Commas are used to separate three or more items while colons divide main title from subtitle. 2. "We visited Hartford, Connecticut, last summer." The commas are used to separate the city and state. "I knew that President Nixon would resign that morning, because my sister-in-law worked in the White House and she called me with the news." The comma is used to avoid misreading. 1. "The colon is often used to introduce a list of items. For example: You will need to bring three things to the party: some food, something to drink, and a small gift for the hostess." The colon is used to list of a lot of items.
