This document defines and provides examples of complex sentences, independent clauses, dependent clauses, and subordinating conjunctions. A complex sentence contains one independent clause and at least one dependent clause. An independent clause can stand alone as a sentence, while a dependent clause cannot. Subordinating conjunctions join dependent clauses to independent clauses. The document then provides examples of complex sentences identifying their independent clauses, dependent clauses, and subordinating conjunctions. It concludes with an assignment to write five complex sentences using different subordinating conjunctions.
