- Question:
- Susanne wanted to be here, but she cannot come because her car is in the shop.
- Answer:
- The answer Compound Sentence is not correct.
- Explanation:
- This is a compound-complex sentence. First, it contains two independent clauses -- "Suzanne wanted to be here" and "she cannot come because her car is in the shop" -- joined by the co-ordinating conjunction "but"; the second independent clause, however, contains the dependent clause "because her car is in the shop," making the sentence complex as well as compound.
