complex sentences

a complex sentence is made up of an independent clause and a dependent clause.
an independent clause is a group of words that could be a sentence, e.g. I am happy
a dependent clause is a group of words that cannot be a sentence by itself  e.g. " when I ski "
a dependent clause can help from form a sentence when it works with an independent clause
e..g.I am happy when I ski .
other joining words  --> that, who, which, but, thing, after, for, since, while, through, then.
a complex sentence: I was hungry, then ate dinner.
Ex; ( I  watched the Vikings same)( in the afternoon. )

1. Mark's eyes are a beautiful blue, which is my favourite eye colour.
2. James is sitting beside me, for the first time.
3. My purple nikes, are getting old.
4. The coffin over there, wasn't there yestarday.
5. He is playing' Run ', but should do work.
