THE COMPLEX SENTENCE

84. The Complex Sentence Defined. A complex sentence is a sentence which expresses one principal thought and one or more subordinate thoughts; as, Gold, which is mined in Colorado, is the most precious of metals.

85. Classes of the Complex Sentence. The complex sentence, like the compound sentence, may have all the elements of each thought expressed separately; as, The book which was torn was thrown aside.

We call this kind of sentence a regular complex sentence.

A regular complex sentence is a complex sentence in which all the elements of each thought are expressed separately; as, Joseph, who heard the call, ran to the rescue.

We often have a complex sentence in which some of the elements of some of the thoughts are common and are expressed but once; as, His brother is taller than he, which means, His brother is taller than he [is tall].

This kind of complex sentence we call an abridged complex sentence.
