Step-by-step explanation:

A simple sentence has only one independent clause. (Subject + Verb)

A complex sentence is an independent clause joined by one or more dependent clauses using subordinating conjunctions.

A compound sentence has two independent clauses joined using coordinating conjunctions.

A compound-complex sentence has two independent clauses and at least one dependent clause.

Coordinating conjunctions are FANBOYS:

F = for

A = and

N = nor

B = but

O = or

Y = yet

S = so

There is actually a long list of Subordinating conjunctions that can determine if it is a Complex sentence, comment below if you want it.
