About Complex Sentences
Once you can identify a basic sentence, you can join two or more sentences into complex sentences. Two or more sentences can be combined with a subordinating conjunction that explains the relationship between each idea.
For example:
Simple Sentences - He studied hard. He wanted to go to medical school. He suffered from arthritis.
Complex Sentence - He studied hard because he wanted to go to medical school as he suffered from arthritis.
Complex Sentence - Even though he suffered from arthritis, he studied hard because he wanted to go to medical school.
Notice how the subordinating conjunction adds additional meaning to the sentence. The last two sentences tell us why he studied.
Some Common Subordinating Conjunctions:
After
Before
So that
Whenever
Although
Even though
Though
Where
As
If
Unless
Whereas
As if
In order that
Until
Whether
Because
Since
When
while
A subordinating conjunction is sometimes called "a heart word" because it turns two sentences into one. Even though both sentences contain a subject and verb, one becomes dependent on the other and cannot stand alone. One sentence becomes the explaining idea for the main idea.
Any time you see words like the ones above, check that your sentence doesn't leave a question remaining.
