Example: Ali worked hard, and he passed the exam.
اردو: علی نے محنت کی اور وہ امتحان میں کامیاب ہوگیا۔
FANBOYS: For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, So.
3. Complex Sentence
A complex sentence contains one independent clause and at least one dependent clause.
Example: Although Ali was tired, he continued working.
اردو: اگرچہ علی تھکا ہوا تھا، پھر بھی وہ کام کرتا رہا۔
Common subordinating
conjunctions include because, although, when, while, if, since, before, and after.
EASY IDENTIFICATION TRICK
Simple: One independent clause.
Compound: Two or more independent clauses.
Complex: One independent clause plus at least one dependent clause.
⚠️ Important: Do not identify sentence types only by looking for conjunctions. Check the clauses and their grammatical functions.
For example:
I stayed home because it was raining. — Complex
It was raining, so I stayed home. — Compound
Walking along the road, he saw an old friend. — Simple
