Building on students' understanding of simple and compound sentences, learners investigate how complex sentences combine a main (independent) clause with one or more dependent clauses to strengthen meaning and show relationships between ideas.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThrough modelled examples, collaborative discussion and structured learning experiences, students identify independent and dependent clauses, explore the role of subordinating conjunctions and analyse how complex sentences express relationships such as reason, purpose, condition, concession and time.
