Subject - In a complex sentence it is common to put the subject of the sentence after the subordinator.

Subordinating Conjunctions

Subordinating Conjunction - A complex sentence has a complete (i.e., can stand alone (subject, verb, and complete idea)) independent clause and an incomplete (i.e., subject and verb only) dependent clause connected by a subordinating conjunction. Use a subordinating conjunction to create a complex sentence here.

Result - A complex sentence has a complete (i.e., can stand alone (subject, verb, and complete idea)) independent clause and an incomplete (i.e., subject and verb only) dependent clause. Use a subordinating conjunction that suggests enabling a result (e.g., 'as, because, since, so that') to create a complex sentence here.

Dependency - A complex sentence has a complete (i.e., can stand alone (subject, verb, and complete idea)) independent clause and an incomplete (i.e., subject and verb only) dependent clause. Use a subordinating conjunction that suggests dependency of conditions (e.g., 'as long as, even if, if, so that, unless, etc.') to create a complex sentence here.

Contrast - A complex sentence has a complete (i.e., can stand alone (subject, verb, and complete idea)) independent clause and an incomplete (i.e., subject and verb only) dependent clause. Use a subordinating conjunction that suggests contrast (e.g., 'although, though, even though, where as, etc.,') to create a complex sentence here.

Conclusion - A complex sentence has a complete (i.e., can stand alone (subject, verb, and complete idea)) independent clause and an incomplete (i.e., subject and verb only) dependent clause. Use a subordinating conjunction that suggests conclusion (e.g., 'finally or eventually) to create a complex sentence here.

Time - A complex sentence has a complete (i.e., can stand alone (subject, verb, and complete idea)) independent clause and an incomplete (i.e., subject and verb only) dependent clause. Use a subordinating conjunction that suggests timing (e.g., 'after, before, since, until, when, whenever, while, etc.') to create a complex sentence here.
