Understanding Complex Sentences
Complex sentences are made up of an independent clause and at least one dependent clause. The dependent clause cannot stand alone as a sentence and usually begins with subordinating conjunctions like because, although, since, or when. Proper placement of dependent clauses is essential for clarity and grammatical correctness.

Identify the dependent clause in the sentence: "Although she was tired, she finished her homework."
