Complex Sentences
A complex sentence has a main clause and at least one subordinate clause.
When you use connectives like 'if', 'while' 'as', 'although' and 'however' to add information and explain things you are making complex sentences.

- A subordinate clause does not make sense on its own. It depends on the main clause to make sense.
