What type of sentence is You voted before Conrad arrived?

This sentence is a complex sentence.

Here's why:

* It contains two clauses:

* "You voted" (independent clause)

* "before Conrad arrived" (dependent clause)

* The dependent clause is connected to the independent clause by a subordinating conjunction: "before"

* The dependent clause cannot stand alone as a complete sentence.

Therefore, this sentence meets the definition of a complex sentence, which is a sentence with at least one independent clause and one dependent clause.
