Even though he was only a third grader, Franklin knew that he wanted to grow up to be a film-maker. The moment he figured out ho

w to use his mother's smartphone to record videos, he began using the phone every minute of the day. His parents were seriously wondering if they might not better go ahead and just buy a video-recording device for Franklin. Franklin also liked to do a lot of other things in the summer too--play soccer, play video games, and just read. When he didn't have his mother's phone, Franklin would write out detailed ten-page scripts for his movies. Then he'd go out into the neighborhood and recruit his friends to be actors in his stories. Needless to say, Franklin never got bored in the summer.

Convert the following sentence from compound to complex sentence.
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

As much as water is an endangered resource, we cannot live without it.

Explanation:

A compound sentence is a sentence that has two independent clauses, meaning there should be a conjunction to connect the two clauses (FANBOYS) or a semicolon.

A complex sentence has one independent clause and one dependent clause.

Note that independent clauses can stand alone as a sentence, meaning they have both a subject and a predicate.

On the other hand, a dependent clause can not stand alone as a sentence, has both a subject and verb, and will most often start with a subordinating conjunction.

<u>We have the sentence:</u>

Water is an endangered resource and we cannot live without it.

<u>We can make it:</u>

As much as water is an endangered resource, we cannot live without it.

As much as is the subordinating conjunction that makes the first clause dependent.

"We cannot live without it" is the independent clause.

You can remove "As much as" and replace it with any subordinating conjunction that makes sense, it's just hard to find a perfect replacement for the conjunction "and."
