English Spl

When a sentence contains one or more Dependent clauses along with multiple independent clauses, it becomes Compound Complex Sentences. Ex: Because it was raining, the children stayed inside, and they played board games.

Remember, the complex sentence only has one independent clause and one or more dependent clauses. Ex: When the party ends, we can go home.

A Complex Sentence is a combination of an independent clause (which can stand alone as a sentence) with one or more dependent clauses (which cannot stand alone). These clauses are linked using subordinating conjunctions like "because," "although," "while," "since," or relative pronouns like "who," "which," or "that". Unlike Simple Sentences, Complex Sentences are not complete in their thought until both the clauses are used.

• Will becomes would in reported speech.
