Compound-Complex Compound-Complex sentences are sentences made up of 2 or more independent clauses and 1 or more dependent clauses. 2 ind + 1 dep= compound-complex Examples 1. Myra went to the store, and she bought some milk because her family did not have enough for their cereal.
Basically…. A compound-complex sentence is just a compound sentence (that’s the compound part) with a dependent clause stuck on it (that’s the complex part). Ex. Since they had nothing better to do, Mike and Angela took their dogs to the park, and they taught them to catch Frisbees.
Punctuation • Basically, combine all of the previous punctuation rules to punctuate the compound and complex pieces of a compound-complex sentence. Ex. Since it is raining, we will stay inside, and we will postpone the game. Ex. I baked a cake, which was chocolate with vanilla icing, and I served it at my party.
