Favorite Answer
Sentence A has a MAIN CLAUSE, i.e. “the sky became blue”, and a SUBORDINATE TIME ADVERBIAL CLAUSE, which is introduced by AFTER. That’s exactly the definition of a COMPLEX SENTENCE.
Sentence B is a simple sentence since there is only one VERB PHRASE in it.
Sentence C is composed of two independent clauses.
And sentence D is a COMPOUND SENTENCE, not a COMPLEX sentence since the clauses are joined together by a coordinating conjunction. That means both sentences could also stand alone independently. “I hesitated a moment.” “Her smile gave me courage.”
