Simple, Compound, Complex????
A simple sentence has two parts - a subject and a predicate, which contains the verb.

A complex sentence is made up of an independent clause and one or more dependent clauses. The dependent clause sometimes begins with one of the following key words: though, although, after, as, before, because, since, then, once, until, unless, where, wherever, when, whenever, while
Using what we have learned about simple, compound, and complex sentences you need to write one sentence of each type and label what each sentence is:
Example:
Simple: Kristi ran a 5K race this weekend.
Compound: Kristi ran a 5K race this weekend, and she won 1st place.
Complex: Because the world is so large, Kristi cannot get an exact population count.
