a) Independent clause

All sentences need at least one independent clause to be made whole. An example of a complex sentence is: While he was sleeping, I did the laundry. "I did the laundry" is an independent clause because it is a complete sentence on it's own with the subject (I) and the verb (did). The subordinate clause is "While he was sleeping". This clause begins with a subordinating conjunction (While) which causes the rest to feel incomplete when it is read alone "While he was sleeping...". While he was sleeping ___what?

A compound sentence is when two sentences are combined using a coordinating conjunction such as and, for, nor, but, yet, so. I did the laundry and I cooked dinner. Here there are two complete sentences "I did the laundry", "I cooked dinner" joined together with "and". A subject is who or what the sentence is about. A prepositional phrase tells the reader where one noun is in relation to another. The bird is on the branch. "On the branch" is a prepositional phrase that tells you where the bird is.

imparadis't in one anothers arms  

the happier eden, shall enjoy their fill  

of bliss on bliss, while i to hell am thrust,  

where neither joy nor love, but fierce desire,  

among our other torments not the least,  

still unfulfill'd with pain of longing pines;  

yet let me not forget what i have gain'd  

from their own mouths; all is not theirs it seems:  

one fatal tree there stands of knowledge call'd,  

forbidden them to taste: knowledge forbidd'n?  

suspicious, reasonless. why should their lord  

envie them that? can it be sin to know,
