Thank you to God Almighty for His blessing and help in finishing this paper. Thank you too for
Mrs. Eri and my friends who help and support us to finishing this paper well. In this paper we describe
about compound-complex sentences. Actually, this sentence is complicated because combined from
compound sentence and complex sentence but I believe this sentence easy enough to learned . And if
you have been understand about compound-complex sentence so you can understand simple, compound and
complex sentence too because they are related. They have any different very obvious, so we can
analyze their different easily.
We make this paper purpose to help our friends to more than understand about compound-complex
sentenceS. So, in this paper we completed with examples and its solution.
We would like to express our appreciation to those who have helped and supported to publish this
paper. We realize that this paper is still far from perfection; therefore, any suggestions either about its
defeciencis or for the improvement of this paper will be warmly appreciated. Hopefully, this paper can be

CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
From that definition, we know that they are related. Their different is
very obvious, so we can analyze their different easily.

CHAPTER II
COMPOUND-COMPLEX SENTENCES
⊛ Definition
⊛ Understanding Clauses
A clause is comprised of at least one subject and one verb. There are
two types of clauses: the independen clause and the dependent clause.
• Independent Clause
• Dependent Clause
When I looked into the mirror, I saw an old man, and I was surprised.
As I look out the window, I see no clouds, but the weather report predicted rain.
5
Whenever the old man walked around the mansion, he wanted hide his money, for he
feared his children would steal it from him.
• Pattern:
Subordinating conjunction subject + predicate, subject + predicate, coordinating
conjunction subject + predicate.
The independent clauses are pretty simple and boring. They are able
to stand all alone without any help from anything else. But remember that
subordinate clauses can have any number of jobs. (There are adjective
clauses, adverb clauses, and noun clauses. The sentence diagram will
look different depending on what type of subordinate clause you have.
Noun Clause
For instance, here is one with a noun clause acting as the direct
object of one of the independent clauses. And, of course, it's easy to tell that
it's a noun clause because the whole clause is taking up the place of the direct
object- which is a noun job.
Rachael Ray explained how cookies are made, and we practiced her
techniques at home.
How cookies are made is a noun clause acting as the direct object of the verb
explained.
6
Adjective Clause
I would have used the recipe Kari gave me, but her cookies taste funny.
(that) Kari gave me is an adjective clause modifying the noun recipe. The word
(that) is an elliptical relative pronoun.
7
Adverb Clause
Because we had lots of cookies, we had a party, and our guests ate the freshly
baked treats.
Because we had lots of cookies is an adverb clause modifying the verb had.

⊛ Identifying Compound and Complex Sentences
Example: The pirate captain lost her treasure map, but she still found the
buried treasure.
Example: Because the soup was too cold, I warmed it in the microwave.

Because compound-complex sentences are normally longer than other
sentences, it is very important to punctuate them correctly. Refer to your
Commas 101 handout for tips on correct comma usage
Ok, this type of sentence must have two main clauses and also a
subordinate clause.
For those of you who are unsure of syntactical terms, a clause is a group of
words that contains a subject and predicate. It also, of course, must contain a
verb.
• For instance, 'I looked out the window.' (simple sentence - main clause)
• For example, 'I looked out the window but I couldn't see any rain.' The 'but'
is the coordinating conjunction here.
Now, complex sentences can be a little more difficult to grasp. Complex
sentences have a single main clause, but also have a subordinate clause
attached to the main clause.
• If we join together our earlier examples, we get. 'as I put my coat on, I
looked out the window,'
As we learnt earlier, the subordinate clause cannot stand alone and needs
the main clause to be considered a complete thought.
⊛ Examples
He got up and (he) rushed to the door when he heard some noise.
= COMPOUND SENTENCE
= COMPLEX SENTENCE
2. We decided that the movie was too violent, but our children, who like to
watch scary movies, thought that we were wrong.
• independent clause: "We decided that the movie was too violent"
• independent clause: "(but) our children thought that we were wrong"
• dependent clause: who like to watch scary movies

RESUME

compound and complex sentence too because they are related. Beside compound-complex sentences,
there simple, compound, and complex sentences in english sentence structure. They have different
and have characteristics each other and their different is very obvious, so we can analyze their
different easily.
