1. Simple sentence

2. Complex sentence.

3. Compound sentence.

Explanation:

In sentence 1, "I took the dog for a half-mile walk" is just a simple sentence.

Sentence 2 is a complex sentence in that it contains both an independent and a subordinate clause. "The dog ran cheerfully through the park" is the independent clause while "he had been shut in the house all day" can't be a sentence on it's own thereby, is the subordinate clause.

Sentence 3 is a compound sentence. It has a subject and more than one predicate. Also, it contains two independent clauses that can stand on their own. "He stopped to smell several flowers" and "he chased a squirrel" are the two clauses that are independent.
