text: kinds of sentences according to structure? compound sentence,complex sentence i'm not completely sure what your question is, but:  compound sentence =  independent clause , fanboys independent clause.  fanboys= for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so  example  i went to the store , but the store had blow away.  complex sentence - there are two basic ways to do this (note comma use)  1. dependent clause , independent clause. exmaple: when i went to the store, i could not find it.  2. independent clause dependent clause. (no comma) example: i could not find the store because it had blow away.  if you want to get complicated, you can also mix and match compound and complex, etc.
