A simple sentence consists of a single clause, which begins with a noun phrase known as the subject. The subject is the person or thing the sentence is about. It is followed by a verb phrase, which says what the subject is doing or describes the subject's situation.

For example:

Juan bought a bicycle.
Paula drew a flower.
Lilian read a book.
José swan in the pool.
Sofia wrote a letter.

A compound sentence includes two or more independent clauses that can be connected by a coordinating conjunction or a semicolon. An independent clause is simply one that can stand on its own as a complete sentence, while a coordinating conjunction is a word that joins two clauses of equal importance.

For example:

I like to listen to music and my brother likes to play basketball.
Lucia writes books and Mateo paints pictures.
Elisa brought pizza for dinner, but her mother heated it in the microwave.

For example:
