a sentence with one independent clause, and one dependent clause

Answer 1

A compound sentence is defined as **a sentence with two independent clauses and no dependent clauses**. It typically connects these clauses with a coordinating conjunction (such as "and," "but," or "or").

For example: "I wanted to go for a walk, but it started raining."

In this case, "I wanted to go for a walk" and "it started raining" are both independent clauses.
