Compound sentence.
Definition: a compound sentence contains two or more independent clauses (each could stand alone) joined by a coordinating conjunction (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so) or a semicolon.
Example: "I went to the store, and I bought some bread."
(Contrast: a complex sentence has one independent clause plus one or more dependent/subordinate clauses: "I went to the store because we needed bread.")
