Many people have not had the opportunity to develop sentence writing skills where two ideas or thoughts are joined together to form a clear and complete message. As a result, they do not have confidence in their writing skills and feel their ability to express themselves is limited.

This course provides the opportunity for students to learn how to join two thoughts together in what is called a complex sentence. You will develop an understanding of the structure of a complex sentence. You will learn what a subordinating conjunction is and how it is used to join ideas together in a complex sentence. You will be provided with a list of ten important subordinating conjunctions and instruction showing you how each one can be used.

A second list of fifteen conjunctions, again with instruction on when to use each one, will also be provided for students who want to increase the number of conjunctions available for them to use.  Developing the ability to select and use the the correct conjunction when joining ideas together to create an effective complex sentence allows the writer to write with greater ease and confidence at school or college, in the workplace, or in his or her personal life.

“How can I join two ideas together in a complex sentence so that the message is clear?  What joining words would best work in this sentence? How do I use commas when I join sentences together? When should I not join ideas together? What is a complex sentence and how do I write one? What is a subordinating conjunction and where can I find a list of good ones to use?"

Have you asked yourself any of these questions in the past? If yes, then this course is for you!

This course can teach you, step by step, not only what complex sentences are and how to write them, but which subordinate conjunctions work best to join your thoughts together. You will learn how to write this type of sentence and also how to use it with simpler sentences that you use now. This course will provide you with the opportunity to practice writing more meaningful passages that combine a variety of sentence types to express what you really think, feel, and need!
