independent clauses. They may be joined by:-

e acomma and a coordinating conjunction (FANBOYS)
© | like tea, but | prefer coffee.

8. Complex Sentences

A complex sentence has one independent clause and at least one
dependent clause.

The two clauses will be joined by a subordinator (although,
because, since, as) or relative pronoun (who, which, that).

Dependent clause
{Atnough it was raining} walked to work.

A Independent clause

Subordinator

9. Complex Sentences

This can be written in two ways:

comma

Although it was raining, | walked to work.
| walked to workgihouoh it was raining.

no comma

Notice: When the dependent clause comes first, it is followed by a
comma.

10. Complex Sentences

The formula looks like this:
independent clause + dependent clause
or
dependent clause + comma + independent clause

= complex sentence

13. Compound-Complex
Sentences

The longest sentence type.

14. Compound-Complex
sentences

This type of sentence must have at least two independent
clauses, and one dependent clause.

We use the same conjunctions (subordinators or FANBOYS) to
join the different parts.

15. Compound-Complex
Sentences

Formula

Independent clause + coordinating conjunction +
independent clause
+ dependent clause
= compound-complex sentence

Note: The clauses can be in any order.
