Who knows what a complex sentence is?

• Yes, I do. I am a grammar master!

• No, I do not. What is a complex sentence?

​One Independent Clause is like Mom OR Dad

• They do not depend on anyone to provide for them.  They are independent and can take care of their own needs.

• Independent clauses are a COMPLETE thought that can stand alone.

• Example: Mom prepares dinner.

​​Simple Sentence

Mom AND Dad together joined by a comma and fanboy

• Both clauses can stand alone; each have their own subject and their own verb.

• Joined by a comma and a FANBOY. (A Coordinating Conjunction)

• Example:  Mom likes to cook, but Dad likes to read.

​​Compound Sentence

One Independent Clause + One Dependent Clause

• Mom or Dad + Kid(s)

• Mom or Dad can stand alone (Independent Clause). The kids cannot (Dependent Clause).

• Dependent Clause introduced by a subordinating conjunction or AAAWWUBBIS.

• Example: When the kids play outside, mom likes to cook.

​​Complex Sentence

Fanboys words are used to separate two independent clauses or parent sentences with the use of a comma. A comma comes right before the fanboys word.

Example: I like to read, and my sister enjoys painting.

1. He plays soccer, but she prefers swimming.

2. They study hard, so they get good grades.

​​Compound Sentence

An independent clause contains a subject and verb, and can stand alone as a complete sentence:

• Independent clause: I love going outside.

A dependent clause also contains a subject and verb, but it cannot stand alone as a complete sentence. Instead, it ADDS information to the sentence:

• Dependent clause: when the weather is warm.

One independent clause + one dependent clause = a complex sentence:

• I love going outside when the weather is warm.

• When the kids play outside, mom likes to cook.
