Today we'll talk about Complex and Compound- Complex Sentences.

Complex Sentences

A complex sentence contains a main clause and one or more subordinate clauses.

So, it combines an independent clause and a dependent clause.

​

When the electricity went out, we played charades by candlelight.

​

Notice the order is dependent to independent clause. ​

Dep. + Indep. = Comma

We played charades by candlelight when the electricity went out.

​

Notice the order is independent to dependent clause. ​

​

Indep. + Dep. = No Comma

Order of Clauses Matters!
