What is the difference between a simple and a complex sentence?

Sure, here's the difference between a simple and a complex sentence:

Simple Sentence:

• A single independent clause.
• Contains a subject and a predicate.
• Example: "The dog barked."

Complex Sentence:

• A sentence that contains one or more independent clauses.
• Contains a subject and a predicate, but it may have other elements such as modifiers, complements, or clauses.
• Example: "The dog barked at the mailman."

Additional Points:

• A simple sentence is typically a short sentence that conveys a single idea.
• A complex sentence is typically a longer sentence that contains more information.
• Complex sentences can be more complex than simple sentences, but they can also be more interesting and engaging.
