Simple or Compound sentence

"I remember with deepest gratitude the kindness of these dear friends and the happy days I spent with them"

Could anyone tell me the type of this sentence?

Is it a simple or compound sentence, please explain

I remember with deepest gratitude the kindness of these dear friends and the happy days I spent with them. It's neither. It's a complex sentence because it contains a main clause (the whole sentence) and a subordinate clause (underlined).

  • I remember with deepest gratitude the kindness of these dear friends and the happy days I spent with them.
  • It's neither.
  • It's a complex sentence because it contains a main clause (the whole sentence) and a subordinate clause (underlined).

Two simple sentences:

I remember with deepest gratitude the kindness of these dear friends.  I spent many happy days with them.

One compound sentence (two main clauses with a conjunction.)

 I spent many h
