Kinds of Sentences "III" - Complex

COMPLEX SENTENCE

A complex sentence is a sentence which consists of a independent clause and at least a dependent clause which is introduced by subordinator (because, so that, who, etc).

Pattern:

                         

CS = IP + subordinator + DP

                                                                                                            

{IP/DP    =       S + P or S + P + O/C}

in which,

CS    =    Compound Sentence

IP      =    Independent Clause

DP    =    Dependent Clause

S       =    Subject

P       =    Predicate (verb)

O      =    Object

C      =    Complement

Examples of Simple Sentences:

CS = IP + coordinating conjunction + IP

{IP    =    S + P or S + P + O/C}

in which,

CS    =    Compound Sentence

IP      =    Independent Clause

S       =    Subject

P       =    Predicate (verb)

O      =    Object
