What is a complex sentence?

- Complex sentence is defined as a sentence with one independent clause and at least one dependent clause.

- They are easy to spot.

- Complex sentences often use conjunctions such as since, because to connect the two clauses

Examples:

- I like to eat ice cream before I go to play.

- I am extremely sad since I failed.

- I like to eat pizza but I don't like to eat burgers.

Structure of complex sentences:

- Independent clause + dependent clause (comma does not split the clause) (in most cases).

- Dependent clause + independent clause( comma splits the clause) ( in most cases).

- For example,

• Ria has been nothing but kind since she got here.

• Since Ria got here, she's been nothing but kind.
