A sentence contains an independent clause and a dependent clause. An example of a complex sentence is this: “I burned dinner but not the cake.”
Compound-complex sentences contain two independent clauses and at least one dependent clause. For example: “I burned dinner because I was watching The Walking Dead, but not the cake because I started paying attention to the oven timer when I smelled smoke.”
