Explanation:
There are three main kinds of sentences. These are;
Simple sentence
Complex sentence
Compound sentence
Now a simple sentence has only one independent clause while a complex or compound sentence has at least a sub clause in addition to an independent clause.
If we want to convert a simple sentence to a complex sentence, then we need to expand the sentence by adding a phrase into its clause.
