- Simple

- Compound

- Compound-complex.

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple sentences are described as sentences that contain a single independent clause with a single subject and predicate. While the complex sentence denotes a sentence comprising of a dependent clause(starting with subordinating conjunction) and an independent clause to accomplish its meaning. And a compound sentence includes a minimum of two independent clauses joined using a coordinating conjunction. Lastly, the compound-complex sentences involve at least one dependent along with two independent clauses('when the sun went down...watched a movie').
