A complex sentence is a sentence that contains an independent clause and a dependent clause. In contrast to an independent clause, a dependent clause cannot stand alone to form a complete sentence. Moreover, dependent clauses are always introduced by a subordinating conjunction.

The reason why they did this was because they often stayed 'at home' taking care of children, so they had time to do other things as well, while men were out hunting and providing for the family in other ways. Thus we have solid proof that women were far more creative and responsible for various things than they are credited for now.
