Question

select the correct answer.

is the following sentence a simple, compound, complex, or compound-complex sentence?
i watched the movie last night, but i didnt like it.

a. simple

b. compound

c. complex

d. compound-complex

Explanation:

The sentence contains two independent clauses ("I watched the movie last night" and "I didn't like it") joined by the coordinating conjunction "but", which defines a compound sentence. Simple sentences have one independent clause; complex sentences have one independent and one dependent clause; compound-complex sentences have multiple independent clauses plus at least one dependent clause. This sentence matches the structure of a compound sentence.

Answer:

B. compound
