Logic / Unit 4 Logic 116 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Simple vs. Compound Statements
Captions available
The idea
A simple statement contains no other statement as a component; a compound statement does.
In practice
"It's raining" — simple. "It's raining and the game is off" — compound.
Where people slip
"The game is off" inside the compound is still a complete statement. Compounds are built, not blended.
