College Readiness Initiative In this tutorial, you will learn about Complex And Compound-Complex Sentences Complex Sentences  A complex sentence is a sentence with an independent clause and at least one dependent clause. The dependent clause is introduced by either a subordinate conjunction (such as although, while, or because) or a relative pronoun (such as who or which).  Simple My friend invited me to a party. I do not want to go.  Compound My friend invited me to a party, but I do not want to go.  Complex Although my friend invited me to a party, I do not want to go. Complex Sentences A complex sentence is very different from a simple sentence or a compound sentence because it makes clear which ideas are most important. Examples: 1.Although Tom reads novels, Jack reads comics. 2.When he was younger, Mike had many dogs. 3.Many people enjoyed the movie; however, William did not.
