Answers:
A complex sentence is a sentence with two clauses; one of these clauses can stand on it's own and make sense, the other one can not.
Eg. 'A rainbow appeared' + 'after the storm passed'
We can make three complete sentences here:
#1 A rainbow appeared.
#2 A rainbow appeared after the storm passed.
#3 After the storm passed, a rainbow appeared.
But 'After the storm passed' is not a complete sentence.
Are you taking TOEFL?
A sentence that, having dependent and relative clauses, is often convoluted and that, not infrequently, requires even the well educated, who have some experience, more than one reading to master.
The above is a complex sentence.
I THINK, but I'm not sure, A complex sentence would be one with two or more thoughts or actions that are linked together, like with a linking verb. ex. Jerry and Jenn went to the store, bought ice cream and ate it because they were hungry. I'm not sure, google it.
Example, When I saw what you have done, I became excited.
Independent clause, meaning it can stand alone is I became excited.
Dependent clause, meaning it cant stand alone is When i saw what you have done. combining these two together give you a complex sentence
I think you mean complex sentence.
When I saw what you had done, I was happy.
