writing complex sentences

A complex sentence is made up from an independent clause and an dependent clause.

An independent clause is a group of words that could be a sentence, e.g, "I am happy."

A dependent clause is a group of words that cannot be a sentence by its self, e.g " when i ski"

A dependent clause can help form a sentence when it works with an independent clause. e g. "I am happy when i ski. other joining words ---->that, who, witch, but, after, for, since, while, through

Not a complex sentence "I was hungry, than i ate dinner"
