Writing Compolex Sentences

A complex sentence is a made up of an independent clause and a dependent clause.

An independent clause is a group of words that could be a a sentence. e.g. I'm happy.

A dependent clause is a group of words that cannot be a sentence by itself. e.g. "When I ski"

---> A dependent clause can help form a sentence when it works with an independent clause.
complex sentence ---> I am happy when I ski.

Other joining words ---> that, what,who,which,but,after,for,since,while,through,then

A complex sentence: I was hungry then I ate.

Ex: I watched the Vikings ,in the afternoon.
