It's quite an easy task - we all use the structres every day!
A
sentence with
one main clause is called a
simple sentence:
She goes to school.
A
sentence with
two or more main clauses is called a
compound sentence:
She goes to school, but she doesn't like it.
A
sentence with
a main clause and one or more subordinate clauses is called a
complex sentence. In the example below, the
subordinate clause is in
green;
the main clause is in
blue:
When she leaves school, she's going to be an actress.
