Title: REQUIRED: Complex Sentence Practice
Course: Introduction to Grammar

A complex sentence has one independent clause at least one subordinate clause. Remember that a subordinate clause may be an adjective clause, an adverb clause, or a noun clause.

Adjective clauses usually begin with a relative pronoun: who, whom, whose, which, or that.

Noun clauses usually begin with that, what, whatever, who, whoever, whom, or whomever.
