you can go to the movies, or you can go to the store. simple or compound

Simple because a simple sentence has a subject, verb, and is a complete thought.

The answer is Compound, because you have the bridge of the word "or".
If the sentence was "You can go to the movies." It would be simple.
If the sentence was just "You can go to the store". It would be simple.
If the sentence was "You can go to the movies, and/ or you can go to the store." It would be a compound.

Hope that helps!
