Identify the kind of sentence ( compound, complex or simple).Give an appropriate reason for your choice..​

Answer 1

Answer:

Complex Sentence

Explanation:

Complex Sentences

- A complex sentence is an independent clause joined by one or more dependent clauses. A

dependent clause either lacks a subject or a verb or has both a subject and a verb that does

not express a complete thought.

- A complex sentence always has a subordinator (as, because, since, after, although, when) or

relative pronouns (who, that, which).

Examples:

1. After eating lunch at The Cheesecake Factory, Tim went to the gym to exercise.

--> The independent clause is ‘Tim went to the gym to exercise.” The subordinating clause before

it is dependent on the main, independent clause. If one were to say “after eating lunch at The

Cheesecake Factory,” it would be an incomplete thought.
