Complex Sentences
• Complex sentences have ONE independent
clause and ONE or MORE dependant clauses.
• For something to be considered a clause, it
must have a subject and verb in it. If it only
has one of these, it is a phrase, not a clause
(Infinitive phrase, prepositional phrase,
adverbial phrase).
• Don’t get clauses and phrases mixed up.
Take a card and crease and tear it
hamburger style.
• Take a card and write P on one side and C on
the other.
• On the other write I on one side and D on the
other.

clauses and which are phrases.

Many sentences have both a
dependant and independent clause.
• Kathy stayed home because she had a fever.
• If the weather is nice, Sally will go to the park.
• I will sleep until the alarm rings.
Do not confuse an introductory phrase
with a dependant clause.
• While running quickly, Paul got a cramp.
• Dependant clauses often begin with a subordinating
conjunction: If, because, although, unless
• I love to cook although it takes time.
• The girls won’t come unless you call them.
• The turkey is not thawed because we forgot to take it
out of the freezer.
Remember, a complex sentence has
one independent clause and one or
more dependant clauses.
• I will go to the store after I make a shopping list.
• When he eats his food, the dog gets meat chunks all
over his face.
• Since she is my closest friend, I will buy something
special for her birthday.
Punctuation
• If the dependant clause comes before the
independent clause, use a comma to separate
the two clauses.
• No comma is needed if the dependant clause
comes after the independent clause.
• Therefore, there are two Complex Sentence
formulae: D,I and ID
In the Formula Reference Section, under the next
section, write our third set of formula.

Where do commas go in these sentences,
and what formula are being used?
• My dad will be happy if I get good grades this
semester.
• Since Jason is a good student he will probably get
all As.
• I never would have believed it if I had not seen it.
• When you have decided please let me know.
Bell work: Addition
• Instead of providing vocabulary words for you to
guess at the meaning, we are going to work on
replacements. I will have a word or two bold,
italicized and underlined, and you need to come
up with a better more scholarly word to replace
it. Also, when you see “you” used, come up with
a way to replace it.
• So if the sentence says: It is big. You might say…
• It is enormous, immense, colossal, mammoth,
expansive, titanic…
• If it says: When you go home… you might say…
When a person goes home…
