​Complex Sentences

-is made up of an independent clause and one or more dependent clauses connected to it. A dependent clause is similar to an independent clause, or complete sentence, but it lacks one of the elements that would make it a complete sentence. 
dependent clauses such as those above cannot stand alone as a sentence, but they can be added to an independent clause to form a complex sentence.

-dependent clauses begin with subordinating conjunctions.

• ​Because Mary and Samantha arrived at the bus station before noon, I did not see them at the station.

• While he waited at the train station, Joe realized that the train was late.

• After they left on the bus, Mary and Samantha realized that Joe was waiting at the train station.

• ​Because Mary and Samantha arrived at the bus station before noon, I did not see them at the station.

• While he waited at the train station, Joe realized that the train was late.

• After they left on the bus, Mary and Samantha realized that Joe was waiting at the train station.

*The dependent clauses can go first in the sentence, followed by the independent clause

1. I did not see them at the station because Mary and Samantha arrived at the bus station before noon.

2. Joe realized that the train was late while he waited at the train station.

3. Mary and Samantha realized that Joe was waiting at the train station after they left on the bus.
