Hi there.

A complex sentence is composed of one dependent clause and one independent clause.

Here's an example:
When I went to the gym, I had a great time.

"When I went to the gym" is the dependent clause as it cannot be a complete sentence on its own, and "I had a great time" is the independent clause as it can stand alone.

I hope this helps!
