A sentence is a complex sentence if there is one Dependent Clause and one Independent Clause.

Some dependent markers are: after, although, as, as if, because, before, even if, even though, if, in order to, since, though, unless, until, whatever, whenever, when, whether and while. An independent clause has a subject and a verb/predicate and has a complete thought and a complex sentence uses a dependent marker.
