I will have much greater control over my own writing. (independent) When I learn to identify subordinate clauses, I will have much greater control over my own writing! (SC, IC =complex)

Compound sentence:2 or more Independent clauses Compound sentence patterns: 3 choices IC, cc IC or IC;IC or IC; conjuntive adverb/transition, IC

Complex sentence:1 independent + 1 or more subordinate clauses Complex sentence patterns are ... SC, IC If I go, I will go now. IC SC I will go now if I go. I [SC] C S V V The boy [who has just scored a 100] studied a little each day.
