  15. COMPLEX SENTENCES

  16. Look at the sentences.what is a compound sentence? What is a COMPLEX sentence?

  17. COMPLEX SENTENCES • Complexsentences follow different rules than compound sentences. • They are more difficult. They are more complex.

  18. COMPLEX SENTENCES- COMMAS • We use subordinating conjunctions with complex sentences. • Sometimes we use commas, sometimes we don’t. • Can you guess when we use the commas? If I go there, she’ll be angry. She’ll be angry if I go there. When you come, he’ll leave. He’ll leave when you come.

  19. COMPLEX SENTENCES- COMMAS SC • We use subordinating conjunctions with complex sentences. • We call them SC for short!

  20. COMPLEX SENTENCES- COMMAS • after • because • before • if • since • until • when • while • There are MANY SC’s in English! • Here are some common SC’s, but there are many more!

  21. COMPLEX SENTENCES • Next, let’s talk about DEPENDENT and INDEPENDENT clauses!

  22. COMPLEX SENTENCES • As a student, if you are INDEPENDENT, you can do many adult things by yourself. You can do laundry, buy groceries, and pay rent. • If you are DEPENDENT, adults or friends do these things for you because you don’t know how, or you are afraid! INDEPENDENT DEPENDENT

  23. COMPLEX SENTENCES • When you study, you will do well. • You will do wellwhen you study. • Dependent clause (DC) • Independent Clause (IC)

  24. COMPLEX SENTENCES IC • Dependent clause = DC • Independent clause = IC DC

  25. COMPLEX SENTENCES • If a clause starts with an SC, it’s DEPENDENT. It doesn’t want to be alone. • This clause is DEPENDENT on another, stronger, clause, the INDEPENDENTclause. • When she leaves, I cry. • She leaves when I cry.

  26. COMPLEX SENTENCES • An INDEPENDENTclause is very strong. • It does not need help going shopping, and it can stand in a sentence by itself. • I’ll buy you cake. =  • I’ll come to the store with you. =

  27. COMPLEX SENTENCES • A DEPENDENT clause gets sad when it is alone. • It doesn’t know how to do anything that adult sentences do, so it always needs an adult sentence. • When she leaves. =  • If you go. =  • When she leaves, I’ll buy you cake. =  • If you go, I’ll come to the store with you. =

  28. COMPLEX SENTENCES • When the DC is at the BEGINNING, we use a comma! • When the DC is at the END, we don’t use a comma! If I go there, she’ll be angry. She’ll be angry if I go there. When you come, he’ll leave. He’ll leave when you come.
