To determine the kind of sentences, we need to differentiate between simple, compound, and complex sentences.
1. "The other women were far off in the field when we stopped at the hedge by the side of the road."
This sentence is a complex sentence. It contains one independent clause, "The other women were far off in the field," and one dependent clause, "when we stopped at the hedge by the side of the road." The dependent clause begins with the subordinating conjunction "when" and relies on the independent clause for its complete meaning.
2. "Then the three of the sisters in the field appeared, coming toward the road, so the Golden one walked away from us."
This sentence is a complex sentence. It consists of three independent clauses combined with coordinating conjunctions. The independent clauses are "Then the three of the sisters in the field appeared," "coming toward the road," and "so the Golden one walked away from us." The coordinating conjunctions used are "and" and "so," which connect the independent clauses.
In conclusion, both sentences are complex sentences. Sentence 1 has one independent clause and one dependent clause, while Sentence 2 has multiple independent clauses connected with coordinating conjunctions.
