Explanation:

Pour déterminer si une phrase est simple ou compound, on regarde le nombre de sujets - prédicats indépendants. Une phrase simple a un sujet - prédicat, tandis qu'une phrase compound a deux ou plus de sujets - prédicats indépendants liés par une conjonction de coordination (and, but, or) ou un point - virgule.

1. Cette phrase a un sujet "adults and kids" et un prédicat "love to go to the fair", c'est donc une phrase simple.
2. Cette phrase a deux clauses indépendantes "You buy the tickets" et "I'll get the popcorn" liées par "and", c'est une phrase compound.
3. Deux clauses indépendantes "The animals are over there" et "the crafts are down this way" liées par "and", phrase compound.
