<u>Complex Sentence</u>-

<u>Compound-Complex sentence-</u>
Some students tell me that T. S. Elliot writes very plain poems, but others insist that he writes bizarre poems.
Explanation:
Simple sentences are those sentences that contain simple, one subject, one verb structure of a sentence. "Ms. Norris loves reading all kinds of books" is a simple sentence with a single subject "Ms. Norris" and single verb "loves".
Compound sentences contain two independent clauses joined by one of the coordinating conjunctions for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so (FANBOYS).<em> "I enjoy science fiction, but my favorite genre is romantic fiction"</em> is a compound sentence with the presence or use of the coordinating conjunction "but".
A complex sentence contains one dependent clause joined to an independent clause by a subordinating conjunction. The two sentences <em>"Kadijah can recite several poems by heart; therefore, her friends are impressed" </em>and <em>"When Kadijah and Cal read the same folktale, they realized how interesting folktales can be"</em> are complex sentences by the use of the subordinating conjunctions "therefore" and "when".
A compound-complex sentence contains both cases of compound and complex sentences, the subordinating as well as the coordinating conjunction along with a dependent clause. The use of the conjunctions "that" and "but" makes the sentence <em>"Some students tell me that T. S. Elliot writes very plain poems, but others insist that he writes bizarre poems" </em>a compound-complex sentence.
