Check Your Understanding
Write a very simple sentence, with just one subject and one verb. Then rewrite that sentence, adding a clause to make it a compound sentence. Rewrite it again, adding at least one clause to make it a complex sentence. Finally, rewrite it to make it a compound-complex sentence.
EXAMPLE: Simple: I ran.
Compound: I ran, and I ran, and I ran. (Note that compound sentences can have more than two independent clauses.)
Complex: I ran because aliens were chasing me.
Compound-complex: I ran as fast as I could, and I escaped from the aliens.
