A complex sentence is a sentence that contains an independent clause and at least one dependent clause. The independent clause can stand alone as a complete sentence, while the dependent clause relies on the independent clause to make sense.
Dependent means the opposite of independent.
A sentence that can be reverse, with the independent in front and the dependent can be at the end of a sentence.
In an experiment you uses a independent and dependent variable.
One independent clause + dependent clause= complex sentence Two independent clauses = compound sentence Two or more independent clauses + two or more dependent clauses = compound-complex sentence
A complex sentence is a sentence that has one dependent and one independent clause. The dependent and independent clauses are joined together. A complex sentence is used to make important ideas clear.
An independent clause can stand on its own as a sentence. A dependent clause contains a subject and verb but cannot be a sentence. In the sentence "I'll stop by your office after I finish my lunch", "I'll stop by your office" is an independent clause, and "after I finish my lunch" is a dependent clause.
Yes, it is. That is why it is called "a dependent clause." It is dependent upon the independent clause.
"He moved" is the independent clause because it can stand alone as a complete sentence. "But then" is a subordinating conjunction that introduces the dependent clause which adds more information about the action in the independent clause.
You have described a "complex" sentence. - Simple sentence = An independent clause. - Compound sentence = Two independent clauses joined with a conjunction. - Complex sentence = An independent clause plus one or more dependent clauses.
Independent- Our sales increased. Dependent- when we lowered our prices
Only an independent clause can stand independently. A dependent clause is dependent on an independent clause.
