Types of Sentences: Compound The two independent clauses joined by coordinating conjunction may have a comma between the first independent clause and the coordinating conjunction. The use is optional.

(two independent clauses joined by coordinating conjunction) Not only does Nelly design clothes but she also exports her creations to ASEAN countries.

Types of Sentences: Complex A complex sentence is a sentence having one independent clause and one or more dependent clauses. - A dependent clause is a clause that contains a set or sets of subject and predicate but it cannot stand alone. It is usually introduced by subordinating conjunctions such as: after, although, as, because, even if, in as much as, in order that, provided, rather than, since, so that, supposing, though, etc.
Types of Sentences: Complex Because subordinating conjunctions are used to introduce dependent clauses, these clauses are also known as subordinate clause. Another group of words used to introduce dependent clauses are the relative pronouns. Relative pronouns include: who, whose, whom, which, when, where, why, that and how.
Types of Sentences: Complex Examples: o The sun still shines (although it is raining.) independent clause (IC) Dependent clause (DC) o (When the cat is away), the mice will play. o DC (relative clause when) (As the candidates enter the Garcia Hall), DC (subordinate clause-as) the onlookers are already picking (who is IC likely to win the title.)
