The given sentence "John was late to dinner and I was late to the movies" can be classified as a compound sentence.

To determine the sentence type, we can analyze the structure and joiner used in the sentence.

- Simple Sentence: A simple sentence consists of a single independent clause, which forms a complete thought. It does not contain any dependent clauses or additional independent clauses. Example: "John was late to dinner."
- Complex Sentence: A complex sentence consists of one independent clause and at least one dependent clause. Example: "Although John was late to dinner, I still enjoyed the meal."
- Compound Sentence: A compound sentence consists of two or more independent clauses connected by coordinating conjunctions (such as "and," "but," or "or"). Example: "John was late to dinner, but I was late to the movies."
- Compound-Complex Sentence: A compound-complex sentence consists of two or more independent clauses and at least one dependent clause. Example: "Although John was late to dinner, I still enjoyed the meal, but I was also late to the movies."

In the given sentence, we have two independent clauses "John was late to dinner" and "I was late to the movies" connected by the coordinating conjunction "and." Therefore, it is classified as a compound sentence.
