EX Compound Sentence: I really need to go to work, but I am too sick to drive.

EX Complex sentence: My Dad laughed when I told a joke.

Explanation:

A Compound sentences have more than one subject and more than one verb. They are two complete thoughts joined by a punctuation mark, usually a semicolon or a conjunction.
