Question

Make this sentence complex The woman bought a purse. Her husband bought new gold clubs.

Answer 1

Answer:

The women bought a purse while her husband decided to buy new gold clubs.

Explanation:

A complex sentence is a sentence containing a subordinate clause or clauses.

To create a complex sentence we can add words such as, once, while, when, whenever, where, wherever, before, and after.

A subordinate clause is a clause that cannot stand alone as a complete sentence; it merely complements a sentence's main clause, thereby adding to the whole unit of meaning. ... It has a subject and a verb, and on its own, it presents a complete unit of meaning: all of us are able to go out and have ice cream. -Grammarly.com

Answer 2

A complex sentence has one independent clause and one dependent clause. An independent clause can essentially become its own sentence, yet a dependent clause can not.

Since the woman bought a purse, her husband chose to himself by buying new gold clubs.

The clause that is both underlined and bolded is the dependent clause. This is because "since the woman bought a purse" can not be a sentence on its own. It simply wouldn't make sense without the context of the independent clause (the italicized part of the sentence)

Keep in mind that there are a variety of alternatives to making a sentence complex. If you would like those alternatives let me know in the comments.
