Question

because my coffee was too cold, i heated it in the microwave ...identify the simple and complex sentence

​

Answer 1

Answer:

'Because my coffee was too cold, I heated it in the microwave is a complex sentence.

1. simple sentence

A simple sentence consists of just three components: a subject, a verb, and a finished notion. Because it can be read as a complete sentence on its own, a simple sentence can also be referred to as an independent clause.

for example- she seemed happy.

2. complex sentence

An independent clause and one or more related dependent clauses make up a complex sentence. Although it lacks one of the components that would constitute a complete sentence, a dependent clause is identical to an independent clause or complete sentence.

for example- because her grades improved, she seemed happy.

in the given example, 'because her grades improved' is a dependent clause.

Dependent clauses like the one shown above cannot function as complete sentences in themselves because the thought is not complete.

similarly, 'Because my coffee was too cold, I heated it in the microwave is a complex sentence as - 'Because my coffee was too cold' is a dependent clause and doesn't make any sense by itself.
