Compound-Complex Sentences
A compound-complex sentence is exactly what the name suggests–– a combination of compound and complex sentences.
Compound-complex sentences have two or more independent clauses and one or more subordinate clauses. When punctuating a compound-complex sentence, you follow the same rules as you would for the compound and complex sentences. For the compound parts, you use a semi-colon or a comma with one of FAN BOYS. For the complex parts, follow the rules for the types of subordinate clauses you are using: adjective, adverb, or noun. |
