Complex sentences

Do you remember the different types of sentences?

Simple, compound and complex?

Has a subject and only one verb.

Can you think of an example?

A compound sentence is formed when you join two main clauses with a co-coordinating connective.(for,and,nor,but,or,yet and so)

For example;

She paints well but she does not love art.

It is made up of a dependent(main clause) and independent clause(subordinating clause), that are joined together by a subordinating conjunction.( If, since, as, when,although,while,after,before,until,because)

For example, When they heard the bell, the students ran to class.

Can you identify the independent and dependent clauses?
