Understanding Compound-Complex Sentences
A compound-complex sentence combines at least two independent clauses and one or more dependent clauses. These sentences can be lengthy and intricate, requiring precise punctuation and conjunctions to maintain clarity. For example, when using conjunctions like 'although', 'because', or 'but', it is essential to ensure correct sentence structure. Errors in these sentences often involve run-on sentences, comma splices, or misplaced conjunctions that can confuse the reader and obscure the intended meaning.
