A compound sentence consists of two independent clauses joined by a conjunction, while a dependent clause cannot stand alone as a complete sentence. For example: "Although it was raining, we decided to go for a walk, and we enjoyed the fresh air." In this sentence, "Although it was raining" is the dependent clause, while "we decided to go for a walk" and "we enjoyed the fresh air" are independent clauses.
