Question

Is the following a compound,simple,or complex. He worked hard in school because he wanted to go to a good college?

Answer 1

Once you can identify a basic sentence, you can join two or more sentences into complex sentences. Two or more sentences can be combined with a subordinating conjunction that explains the relationship between each idea.

For example:

Simple Sentences - He studied hard. He wanted to go to medical school. He suffered from arthritis.

Complex Sentence - He studied hard because he wanted to go to medical school as he suffered from arthritis.

Complex Sentence - Even though he suffered from arthritis, he studied hard because he wanted to go to medical school
