Jane = noun/ plays = verb/ baseball = verb/, and = article/ Emma = noun/ plays = verb/ soccer = verb Jane = subject/ plays = verb/ baseball = verb/ and = article/ Emma = subject/ plays = verb/ soccer = verb Jane plays baseball = complete thought/ ,and Emma plays soccer = complete thought Independent Clause #1 + Independent Clause #2 = 2 independent clauses + conjunction = Compound sentence


 * Complex Sentence:** A complex sentence is composed of one dependent clause that has a conjunction or a relative pronoun before the dependent clause that is joined to one independent clause.


 * Complex Sentence Example:** Although Jane plays baseball, Emma plays soccer.

Although = conjunction/ Jane= noun/ plays = verb/ baseball = verb/, Emma = noun/ plays = verb/ soccer = verb Although Jane plays baseball, = Dependent clause w/ conjunction before/ Emma plays soccer. = Independent Clause 1 Dependent clause w/ conjunction before + 1 Independent Clause = A Complex sentence
