Can you please tell me if this is a simple, compound, complex or compound-complex sentence. And can you please tell me why it is the one it is like if it's because there are two dependent clauses or whatever the case may be. The sentence is : Zhang Jie wrote in China after the cultural revolution ended. Thank you!!!!

Zhang Jie wrote in China after the cultural revolution ended.

I've underlined the main clause and made the subordinate (dependent) clause in bold.

It's a complex sentence.

The sentence "Zhang Jie wrote in China after the cultural revolution ended" is a complex sentence.

Complex sentences consist of one independent (main) clause and at least one dependent (subordinate) clause. In this sentence, the independent clause is "Zhang Jie wrote in China," which can stand alone as a complete sentence. The dependent clause is "after the cultural revolution ended," which cannot stand alone as a complete sentence and relies on the independent clause for its meaning.

To determine the sentence structure, you can identify the main clause and any dependent clauses within the sentence. In this case, we have one main clause and one dependent clause, making it a complex sentence.
