Question

Is tis sentence simple or compound /I went to the beach, but it was too cold

Answer 1

Yes because there are two independent clauses joined by a FANBOY. I went to the beach is an independent clause. But is a FANBOY. It was too cold is an independent clause. A FANBOY is for, and, nor, but, or, yet.

Hope this helps!! :)

Answer 2

It would be compound because there is a comma and "but" separate two independent clauses. Hope this helped!
