Sentences simple, complex, compound or cc?

I need to identify each sentence as a simple, complex, compound or complex/compound sentence. I am sooo confussed on if I have them correct or not. Also I need to figure out why --ed and --ing words are used frequently. Any help would be greatly appreciated.


We wave or arms high and Kate hits the on button of Dad’s tape recorder.(1) The Mozart sonata Dad picked out begins to play. (2) When we hear the first note, we open the sacks and the ladybugs escape through the opening, taking flight.(3) It’s as if someone has dumped rubies from heaven.(4) Soon they will land on the plants in search of bollworm eggs.(5) But right now they are magic—red ribbons flying over our heads, weaving against the pink sky, dancing up there with Mozart.(6)
Mrs. McKnight covers her mouth with her hand, and I wonder if she is just amazed at the beauty of it all or if she is remembering Wayne, standing here in the cotton fields last year, releasing the ladybugs.(7)
One group of ladybugs soars high into the sky, then suddenly dips low like a flock of birds flying in perfect rhythm.(8) Cal jumps up and down, waving his sack.(9) “Wow! Did you see that?”(10)
Everyone in the field has something to say about it, except Zachary.(11) Holding his empty sack, he stands in his ocean of cotton with the sun sinking fast behind him.(12) He’s wearing the same stunned look on his face that he had when he first came out of the water during his baptism.(13)
