PRELIMINARY
A. Backround of the paper

English in its use is very often even the international language used by all
nations in the world. When someone has the ability to understand and understand
English, it will be very helpful, at least in the context of the language when he is
abroad or in any country that he might one day visit. Even at the stage of the world of
work, one is required to have an understanding of the English language. Although in a
context that is not too deep. But just understanding the grammar of everyday language
can help you if you are abroad or around foreigners. In understanding English, of
course it has something to do with sentences. This relation certainly refers to the types
of sentences and how they are used. And its use must be in accordance with the rules
and procedures that apply. Therefore, we will discuss compound sentences.

CHAPTER II
DISCUSSION
A. Definition Complex Sentence.

A complex sentence is a sentence that contains an independent clause and one
or more subordinate clauses; therefore, a good way to study complex sentences is to
study subordinate clauses. Subordinate clauses can be classified as adverb clauses,
adjective clauses, or noun clauses. We have studied adverb clauses, the first of our
three clause types. Now we will move on to adjective clauses. Those subordinate
clauses that function as adjectives are known as relative clauses. Complex sentence:
One which contains more than one clause.
A complex sentence contains an independent clause joined by one or more
dependent or subordinate clauses. Dependent (subordinate) clause begins with a
subordinating conjunction or a relative pronoun. In other words, a complex sentence
always has a subordinating conjunction (subordinator) or a relative pronoun. Clauses
in a complex sentence are not structurally equal. They express related thoughts.
Subordinators or relative pronouns are used not only to connect these clauses but also
to show the ‘clear and specific relationship’ between the clauses. In other words,
subordinator or relative pronoun show how one clause (dependent or subordinate
clause) is dependent on other. The two parts are no longer of equal importance.
Complex sentence
Not all sentences with more than one clause are compound sentences. There is
another category — complex sentences. Complex sentences, which are more
B. Types of Complex Sentence.

A complex sentence is a sentence with one independent clause and at least one
dependent
clause.
INDEPENDENT CLAUSE
• An independent clause is a clause that can stand alone as a sentence, it expresses a
complete
thought.
• An independent clause normally has a subject and a main verb and can function as a
complete sentence.
• Examples:
- I love online learning.
Subject: I.
Verb : love.
- The cat ate the goldfish.
Subject: The cat.
Verb : ate.
DEPENDENT CLAUSE
• A dependent clause (or subordinate clause) is one that cannot stand alone as a
complete
sentence. It does not express a complete thought.
• A dependent clause cannot be a complete sentence by itself. That is because it starts
with a word that connects to a main clause.
• A dependent clause, also known as a subordinate clause, is a clause with two specific
qualities.
- Firstly, it does not express a complete unit of thought on its own; it cannot stand as
its
own sentence.
- Secondly, it depends upon an independent clause—one that can stand on its own as a
complete sentence—to form a complete idea.
• Examples:
- Which is very cute
- Where I put my book
- Until he comes
➔ Those examples need to be connected to another clause to share a complete
thought.
SUBORDINATING CONJUNCTION
• The words “which”,” where”,” until”; are called the connecting words.
• They are examples of subordinating conjunctions.
• A subordinating conjunction is a word that links a dependent clause to an
independent clause.
• Commonly used Subordinating Conjunctions
• An independent clause is a clause that would make sense if it were a sentence on its
own, whereas a dependent clause will not form a sentence on its own.
• When these two types of clauses appear in a sentence and are connected by a
subordinating conjunction, we create a complex sentence.
• Examples:
1. After I came home, I made dinner.
2. We visited the museum before it closed.
3. He likes the gift that I made yesterday.
4. Your mom will not lie to you unless it is for your good.
5. When Susi was still a baby, she used to be fat
6. Although Nadine is a girl, she acts like a boy
PUNCTUATION IN COMPLEX SENTENCE
• From the examples, we can notice that:
❖ If the independent clause comes first, there is no separation of the clauses by a
comma, which is the general rule in complex sentences starting with an independent
clause.
Example: Your mom will not lie to you unless it is for your good.
❖ If the dependent clause comes first, the dependent clause begins with a
subordinating
conjunction (words like because, when), the clauses are separated by a comma.
Example: After I came home, I made dinner.
Exception: If it is an extreme contrast: the clauses expressing ideas that are almost
opposite in meaning or that must be heavily emphasized, there is a comma separating
two clauses even though the independent clause comes first.
Example: Annie was still crying, although she had been happy about the news.
Other contrast subordinating conjunctions are: whereas, while.
• As we have seen with the previous examples, the structure for a complex sentence
essentially looks like this:
➢ Dependent Clause + Independent Clause (comma splits the clause)
➢ Independent Clause + Dependent Clause (comma usually does not split the
clause)
• So, using that structure we can easily form examples of complex sentences:
▪ Because she was scoring many baskets, Elsa was considered the best player on the
team.
▪ Elsa was considered the best player on the team because she was scoring many
baskets.
o Since Hannah got here, she’s been nothing but trouble.
o Hannah has been nothing but trouble since she got here.
