Remember

A complex sentence is composed of one independent clause and

one or two dependent clauses.

An independent clause is a simple sentence by itself. It gives a

complete meaning. It can stand alone.

A dependent clause does not give a complete thought. It cannot

stand alone. It depends on an independent clause to complete its
meaning.
