A complex sentence consists of an independent clause and a dependent clause joined together.

An independent clause is a group of words that has a subject and a verb and is a complete thought. An independent clause can stand on its own as a sentence.

A dependent clause is a group of words that has a subject and a verb but is not a complete thought and can't stand on its own as a sentence.

Example complex sentences (dependent clause in bold):

  • These are the flowers that mother likes.
  • If you can, pick up some milk on your way.
  • Cell phone reception is unreliable where John lives.
  • The teacher who assigned the work should answer your question.

I would suggest that you use the German you know. If you use complicated sentences that you are unable to replicate on your own, you will look foolish at the interview. Germans are willing to look past your level of German if your work is of high enough quality.
