By Structure (How they are built):

Simple:
Contains one independent clause (a subject and a verb that can stand alone as a complete thought).
Example: "The dog barked."
Compound:
Contains two or more independent clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction (and, but, or, nor, for, so, yet) or a semicolon.
Example: "The dog barked, and the cat hissed."
Complex:
Contains one independent clause and one or more dependent clauses (a clause that cannot stand alone as a complete thought and is usually introduced by a subordinating conjunction like "while," "because," "if," etc.).
Example: "Because the dog barked, the cat hissed."
Compound-Complex:
Contains two or more independent clauses and one or more dependent clauses.
Example: "The dog barked, and the cat hissed, because they were both scared."
