Complex - If you study well, you will pass. (Two clauses, two verbs)

েোরণ simple sentence এ এেিো clause ত্েো এেিোই verb েোেকত্ পোরকব।)
Complex sentences have some particular connectors which connect the two clauses. The
connectors for complex sentences are: -
Before, after, till, until, when, where, which, who, whom, why, what, that, since, as, because, if,
unless, as if, as though, although, even though, as soon as, so that, on condition that, and

বেনত্ক্রম নিয়ম আকে।
নিকনোক্ত নিয়মগুক ো সব থেকেই বেবহোর েরো যোকব :
Rule 1:
If there is an extra phrase in the simple sentence, expand that phrase to make a clause. Then
choose a suitable connectors to connect the clauses.
Phrase টিকে clause এ রূপোন্তর েরোর জকিে এেটি verb আিকত্ হকব এবং যনি subject িো েোকে
ত্োহক এেিো subject ও আিকত্ হকব।
Example:
Simple: Seeing the teacher, the student stopped making noise.
এই sentence টিকত্ phrase হকে ‘Seeing the teacher’। এই phrase এ seeing থে সহকজই verb
বোিোকিো যোয়। আর থযকহত্ু এই sentence এর subject এেিোই থসকহত্ু আমরো এেই subject বেবহোর
েরকবো।
So, the two clauses we can get from this sentence are:
*The students saw the teacher ---- *The students stopped making noise.
Transformation এ tense পনরবনত্েত্ হয় িো। ত্োই আমরো seeing থে saw বোনিকয়নে। িুটি clause এ
subject থযকহত্ু এেই, ত্োই এেটিকত্ pronoun বেবহোর েরকত্ হকব। ত্োরপর উপযুক্ত এেটি
connector বোেোই েরকত্ হকব। এ ধরকির sentence এর থেকে একের অনধে connector ও েোেকত্
পোকর এবং সব গুক োই সটিে।
\

The complex sentence could be:


As the student saw the teacher, they stopped making noise.
Since the student saw the teacher, they stopped making noise.
The students stopped making noises when they saw the teacher.
যনি clause এবং phrase এর subject নেন্ন নেন্ন হয়, ত্োহক িুই clause এর জকিে িুই subject েোেকব।
Example:
Simple: Alex could not go to school due to his mother’s illness.
Complex: Alex could not go to school because his mother was ill.
Or, Alex could not go to school since his mother was ill.
Rule 2:

into a clause. The word can be an adjective, noun, or adverb.
Example:
Simple: He pleaded for his innocence.
Complex: He pleaded that he was innocence.
এখোকি আমরো innocence শব্দটিকে নসক ক্ট েকর এেটি verb একি আকরেটি clause তত্নর েকরনে।
innocence এেটি noun, ত্োই এই clause টি এেটি noun clause .
More Examples of noun clauses in complex sentences:
Simple: Murphy knows Mr. Rashid.
Complex: Murphy knows who Mr. Rashid is.
Simple: I prayed for your job.
Complex: I prayed so that you could get the job. (Connector – ‘so that’ requires the modal –
‘can/could’ in the following clause.)
(Note: Complex েরোর থেকে extra এেটি verb আিো যোকব।)
Simple: He admitted his guilt.
Complex: He admitted that he was guilty.
For words that are adjectives, you have to make an adjective clause.
Example:
Simple: He was an outstanding actor.
Complex: He was an actor who was outstanding.
এখোকি outstanding শব্দটি এেটি adjective এবং এই শব্দ থে থেন্দ্র েকরই এেিো clause তত্নর েরো
হকয়কে।
More Examples of adjective clauses in complex sentences:
Simple: I lost the most beautiful pen yesterday.
Complex: I lost the pen which was most beautiful.
Simple: He was a remarkable man.
Complex: He was a man who was remarkable.
Simple: I want an extensive encyclopedia.

Complex: He is so weak that he cannot carry that heavy bag.
Simple: He is working relentlessly to finish the work.
Complex: He is relentlessly working so that he can finish the work.

Example:
Simple: I could not do it because of my illness.
Complex: I could not do it because I was ill.
Or, I could not do it as I was ill.

At the time of (indcation of time)= when + clause + clause / clause + When + clause.
