Read Explanation:
- In a compound sentence, there are two or more independent clauses connected by coordinating conjunctions (such as "and," "but," or "therefore").
- മൂന്നാമത്തേത് ഒരു simple sentence ആണ്. All other are compound sentences.
- "He is not only handsome but also intelligent." - This is a compound sentence with two independent clauses joined by the coordinating conjunction "but."
- "The sun was setting, and the moon was rising." - In this sentence, there are two independent clauses: "The sun was setting" and "the moon was rising." They are joined by the coordinating conjunction "and," making it a compound sentence.
- "Nadal plays tennis in the morning." - This is a simple sentence with only one independent clause.
- "Lakshmi likes to read and write." - The predicate "likes to read and write" contains two actions ("read" and "write") joined by the coordinating conjunction "and."
- All these sentences follow a similar structure of having two separate ideas or actions joined by coordinating conjunctions.
