Now create a second independent clause and connect it to the first with a coordinating conjunction. Finally add a dependent (subordinate) clause connected with a subordinating conjunction.

  8. Share sentences. • Identify dependent and independent clauses. • Identify coordinating and subordinating conjunctions.

  9. Finally copy and label the following compound-complex sentence. Then the apples spill to the ground, and I am blown backward into the air as the ground shakes with explosions.
