1) Make it into one complete(independent) and one incomplete(dependent).

- She will go to school in the city. She will go to school until she finds a job.

-- This would change to She will go to school in the cityuntil she finds a job.

The part that is bolder is the independent clause(complete thought) and the italicized part would be the dependent clause.

A simple sentence consists of one independent and complete clause. To expand a simple sentence, one would add another independent or dependent clause via a coordinating conjunction. A simple sentence such as, "We walked to the park." can be expanded into, "We walked to the park, but the park was closed."

1. Conversion of Compound sentences into Complex sentences:

We can change Compound sentences into Complex sentences, by removing the conjunction 'and' and using other conjunction suitable to the context.

Example-1:

Consider this Compound sentence:

• Search his packet and you will find the watch. (Compound Sentence)

By removing the conjunction 'and' and adding another conjunction 'if', we can change this sentence into a Complex Sentence.

• If you search his packet, you will find the watch. (Complex sentence)

Example-2:

• He wished to become learned; he studied very well. (Compound)

Here, the use of same pronoun for the second time is avoided to convert the sentence into a complex sentence.

• He studied very well to become a learned. (Complex)

Now, you may see how the Transformations of Sentences have taken place.

Example-3:

• He is buried near Rome. Myrtles grow round his grave. (Compound)

• He is buried in a place where myrtles grow. (Complex)

Examples:

• He aimed to win the prize and worked hard. (Compound)

• He worked hard so that he might win the prize. (Complex)

• He put on his hat and went out. (Compound)

• Putting his hat on, he went out. (Complex)

• Do your best. You will never regret. (Compound)

• By doing your best, you will never regret. (Complex)

• Be diligent and you will succeed. (Compound)

• Diligence will succeed you. (Complex)

• Your diligence will give you success. (Complex)

• Do this and you will be punished. (Compound)

• If you do this, you will be punished. (Complex)

• Give me the book and I will read it. (Compound)

• If you give me the book, I will read it. (Complex)

• Take quinine, and your fever will be cured. (Compound)

• It you take quinine, your fever will be cured. (Complex)

• I tell him to be quite, but he takes no notice of it. (Compound)

• Although I tell him to be quite, he takes no notice if it. (Complex)

• Be just, fear not. (Compound)

• If you are just, you need not fear. (Complex)

• You called me and here I am. (Compound)

• Because you called me, I am here. (Complex)

• The master is nearly blind and the boys are sorry for him. (Compound)

• The boys are sorry for the master for near-blindness of him. (Complex)

Now, you may see how the Transformations of Sentences have taken place.

• You have paid the bill, but you will get no credit for it. (Compound)

• Although you have paid the bill, you will get the credit for it. (Complex)

• Listen and I will tell you all. (Compound)

• If you listen, I will tell you all. (Complex)

• Be careful in your diet, you will be healthy. (Compound)

• If you are careful, you will be healthy. (Complex)
