Understanding Complex Clauses in English Grammar

Complex clauses provide additional information about sentences and are essential for enhancing clarity and detail. Introduced by linking words or phrases such as "although," "so," and "because," these clauses can convey contrast, purpose, reason, and result. When a complex clause starts a sentence, it's important to use a comma for separation. For instance, "Although she was scared, she still did the bungee jump." Understanding their function and correct usage will improve your grammar and writing skills significantly.

  1. COMPLEX CLAUSES GRAMMAR

  2. A complex clause gives us extra information about a sentence. • It is introduced by a linking word or word phrase: • CONTRAST  although, though, in spite of the fact that, despite the fact that • PURPOSE  so (that) • REASON  because, as, since • RESULT  so … that, such … that • When a complex clause begins a sentence, we use a comma to separate the two clauses. He still did the bungee jumping ALTHOUGH he was scared. ALTHOUGH he was scared, he still did the bungee jump.
