Example: Because the soup was too cold, I warmed it in the microwave.
A compound-complex sentence is just comprised of at least two independent clauses and one or more dependent clauses. Example: Though Mitchell prefers watching romantic films, he rented the latest spy thriller, and he enjoyed it very much.

"Though Mitchell prefers watching romantic films, he rented the latest spy thriller and enjoyed it very much."

There is one dependent clause:

"Though Mitchell prefers watching romantic films"

and two independent clauses connected (in this case) with an "and":

"he rented the latest spy thriller and enjoyed it very much."
