How to convert a simple sentence into a complex sentence

To convert a simple sentence into a complex sentence, you can add a dependent clause to provide more information, add context, or show relationships between ideas.

Here are the steps and examples:


1. Identify the Independent Clause
Start with the simple sentence that contains an independent clause, which can stand alone as a complete sentence.
Example Simple Sentence: She reads books.

2. Add a Dependent Clause
Introduce a dependent clause using subordinating conjunctions such as because, although, since, while, when, if, etc. This clause cannot stand alone as a complete sentence.
Example Complex Sentence: Because she loves stories, she reads books.
