Commas are used differently when a clause is an independent clauses or if the clause is a dependent/subordinate clauses.
This is called a compound complex sentence. The main clauses are usually connected by a conjunction. The subordinate clause is connected to a main clause by an adverb.
Simple Sentence .
No, a complex sentence contains one independent clause and one or more dependent clauses. A sentence containing two independent clauses is called a compound sentence.
A compound sentence contains two or more independent clauses, and no dependent (or subordinate) clause(s). The independent clauses that make up a compound sentence may be connected with a coordinating conjunction, conjunctive adverb, or semicolon.
It have 2 clauses in Complex sentence. It is Dependent clause and Independent clause
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 clause is a part of a sentence which contains a subject and verb. It sounds like clauses are able to be sentences on their own, and some are, but others, called dependent clauses, are not. An example of a dependent clause would be "when I walked to the beach." It has a subject "I" and a verb "walked", but it cannot be a sentence on its own because of the word "when" at the beginning.
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.
In English grammar, a clause is a group of words that contains both a subject and a verb. It can be a complete sentence (independent clause) or a part of a sentence (dependent clause). Clauses are essential building blocks of sentences and can function as a complete thought or as a modifier within a sentence.
at least two clauses; one clause
The simplest sentence consists of only a subject and a predicate (a noun and a verb) and is only one clause."Scott ran." is an example of such a sentence. It has one noun (Scott), one verb (ran), and is an independent clause (it stands alone as a sentence).A slightly more complex sentence can have two clauses as is evidenced by the following modification to the earlier example:"Scott ran, and he made it in time." The original sentence now contains two clauses (an independent one and a subordinate one).In general, though, "simple sentence" usually refers to a sentence with only one clause.
