Writing More Complex Sentences

By , About.com GuideAugust 15, 2012

Follow me on:

Here are two related sentences

Daniel has some very interesting ideas.
He is a leading thinker in his field.

Combing these two sentences makes a much more elegant sentence:

Daniel, who is a leading thinker in his field, has some very interesting ideas.

The example sentence uses a relative pronoun to combine the two sentences through a relative clause. This combination exercise focuses on changing two simple sentence into complex sentences.

Whenever using a sentence, where commas are applied, we call it: “Non-defining clause”. In other words, it is easier, and clearer to understand it. Whilst the opposite is called:”Defining clause”. (without any commas).
