sentences!
Complex Sentence
A complex sentence has two parts:
● One independent clause (a complete idea that can
stand alone)
● One dependent clause (an incomplete idea that
cannot stand alone)
The two parts are connected by subordinating words
such as because, when, if, although, after, before,
while.
The dependent clause needs the independent clause
to make sense.
Complex Sentence
Subordinating Conjunction
When I entered the museum, my friend
whispered.

museum.
Comma comes
AFTER the
dependent clause
Comma is used
when the sentence
starts with the
dependent clause
