Worksheet for identifying simple, compound, and complex sentences.

It looks like you've uploaded a worksheet titled "Simple, Compound, & Complex Sentences" that asks students to identify whether each sentence is simple, compound, or complex, and then to label the independent (IND) and dependent (DEP) clauses accordingly.

Since I can't view images directly, I’ll help you solve this based on the text you provided. Let me reconstruct the task and walk through how to analyze each sentence.

🔹 Definitions Recap:

- Simple Sentence: One independent clause (one subject + one predicate).
- Compound Sentence: Two or more independent clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction (e.g., *and*, *but*, *or*) or a semicolon.
- Complex Sentence: One independent clause + one or more dependent clauses (which begin with subordinating conjunctions like *because*, *although*, *since*, *if*, etc.).

Now, let’s go through each sentence from your worksheet and classify it.

📝 Tips for Students:

- Look for coordinating conjunctions (*and, but, or, nor, yet, so*) → signals compound sentences.
- Look for subordinating conjunctions (*because, although, since, if, when, while, so that*) → signals complex sentences.
- A dependent clause cannot stand alone as a sentence.
- If there’s only one clause, it’s simple.
