    For compound sentences, remember the term FANBOYS - the word that connects two clauses together (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so). It helps a lot

    Nice...but...
    Sorry, but the explanation here seems insufficient and a bit misleading.
    Compound sentence is a combination of two independent clauses joined by coordinating conjunctions-- FANBOYS (For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet and So). The word "when" is not one of those conjunctions. "When" is a subordinating conjunction, thus, it is used in complex sentences not in compound sentence. Furthermore, complex sentence is a combination of one independent clause and one or more subordinate clause(s) joined by either a relative pronoun (who, whose, whom, that, whichever, which, etc.) or a subordinating conjunction (when, whenever, although, because, before, as soon as...etc.).
    A compound sentence may also have a comma. Actually, it must have a comma before the conjunction. A complex sentence may only contain a comma when the subordinate clause** is written before the independent clause**.
    When used as part of a whole sentence we don't call it simple sentence anymore; we call it independent clause.
    **Subordinate Clause is a word group that has a subject and a verb, but cannot stand alone.
    **Independent Clause is a word group that may stand alone or may be called a simple sentence when punctuated with an end mark.

    Hope it helps.

    4:22 we can start our complex sentence with the main clause and it doesn’t affect the meaning of the sentence. Consider the following: 1- “Although she was a great teacher, she couldn’t change a lightbulb safely”. 2- She couldn’t change a lightbulb although she was a great teacher. Notice when we start our complex sentence with the main clause, we don’t put a comma.

    • @raffysemble5355

      no. Complex sentence contains an independent and one or more dependent clause, while compound-complex sentence contains two or more independent clauses and one more dependent clause.
