The document defines and provides examples of complex sentences. A complex sentence contains one main clause and at least one subordinate clause joined together using subordinating conjunctions like "as", "because", and "when". For example, "We visited the museum before it closed" contains an independent main clause and a dependent subordinate clause. Complex sentences are more effective than compound sentences because they show clearer relationships between the main parts of the sentence. The document also briefly discusses simple and compound sentences.

5. Difference Between Simple, Compound and Complex Sentence
Simple sentence or a simple phrase had understanding and comprehension by
means simple. It appears from the simplicity of the sentence structure that consists only
of the subject and predicate ,. Although only one clause, this sentence already have the
meanings intact. So one clause that called Independent (stand-alone), alias clause does
not need another to get understood the purpose and meaning.
Pattern :Subject + Predicate
Example: My father is a police.
They bring a big chair

6. Means the combined compound. This means the compound sentence is a
long sentence consisting of a combination of two or more clauses. What needs to be
noted here is the status of the two clauses have own their own independence. That is
like a two clauses were separated, each one can still understand the meaning and
intent. 2 clause referred to as Independent Clause. There are some sentences
coordinator, namely, for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so and generally to facilitate their
learning shortened to FANBOYS.
Pattern : Subject + Predicate +Coordinator +Subject + Predicate
Example : I tried to study Math, and my friends tried to study English.
