A complex sentence has a clause that can stand alone and one that can’t. These two clauses are usually linked between the two such as because, however, after, etc. An example of a complex sentence is Mom is cooking because it is almost time for dinner.

A complex sentence is one in English in which includes, at minimum, one dependent clause and one independent clause. The dependent clause, which is also known as a subordinate clause, is connected by either a relative pronoun or a subordinate conjunction. The complex sentence can be contrasted with a simple sentence, which has no dependent clause. Other types of sentences include the compound sentence, which need to have at least two independent clauses, and the complex-compound sentence, which need to have at least two independent clauses, and at least one dependent clause.
