Complex Sentences Complex sentences have two clauses: an independent (main) clause and a dependent (subordinate) clause.

Independent (Main) Clauses Must contain a subject and a verb and express a complete thought Example: He had a new pair of shoes for the occasion and was very proud of them, even though they were too small for him and were pinching his feet.

Dependent (Subordinate) Clauses Must contain a subject and a verb, but starts with a subordinate conjunction or relative pronoun Example: He had a new pair of shoes for the occasion and was very proud of them, even though they were too small for him and were pinching his feet.

Subordinate Conjunctions Subordinate conjunctions provide a necessary transition between the two ideas in the sentence. This transition will indicate a time, place, or cause and effect relationship. Subordinate conjunctions also reduce the importance of one clause so that a reader understands which of the two ideas is more important. The more important idea belongs in the main clause, the less important in the clause introduced by the subordinate conjunction. Subordinate Conjunctions

Punctuating Complex Sentences Dependent (Subordinate) Clause First Independent (Main) Clause First When the dependent (subordinate) clause comes first, you must use a comma. Dependent (Subordinate) Clause + , + Independent (Main) Clause = Comma Ex: Philly celebrated all night when the Eagles won the Super Bowl. You do not use a comma if the independent (main) clause comes first. Independent (Main) Clause + Dependent (Subordinate) Clause = No Comma Ex: When the Eagles won the Super Bowl, Philly celebrated all night.
