What is a complex sentence?
• A complex sentence is a sentence that consists of one
independent clause and at least one dependent clause joined by
conjunctions. An independent clause is a clause that can stand by
itself. On the other hand, a dependent clause, although it has a
subject and a predicate, cannot stand by itself because it does not
express a complete idea. Therefore, a dependent clause cannot be
a sentence unless it is attached to an independent clause.
• A complex sentence that expresses a cause and effect relationship
is joined by conjunctions such as so, because, after, although, as if,
before, and since.
