Identify the sentence type. because i already said yes to someone else, i can't go to the dance with you.
compound or complex

Your answer would be that the sentence above is a complex sentence.

Explanation:

A complex sentence has one independent clause and at least one dependent clause. The difference between an independent clause and a dependent one is that the former can stand alone as a sentence because it represents a complete idea. On the contrary, dependent clauses are dependent on the independent part of the sentence in order to complete their meaning, so they fail to stand alone as sentences (see 1). In the sentence above, the dependent clause has been introduced by the subordinating conjunction because.

1) *Because I already said yes to someone else,

his tongue, i believe, was bloody and hanging out of his mouth.

he looked as if he were hungry.

he has several wolf-like qualities; a gray coat, sharp claws and yellow fangs.

those eyes made me feel, dear reader, like the end was near.

as i reached for a stick, he moved to the other side of the hill.

panting and hungry, he looked at me, a defenseless human and he snarled.

well i said my prayers, however, he simply turned and limped off.
