Worksheet for practicing sentence diagramming of complex sentences with examples and exercises.

To diagram these complex sentences, we need to break each one down into two parts: the main clause (the part that can stand alone as a sentence) and the subordinate clause (the part that depends on the main clause).

Here is the step-by-step breakdown for how to draw each one based on the rules in your worksheet:
1. Draw the diagram for the main clause.
2. Draw the diagram for the subordinate clause.
3. Connect the two verbs with a dotted line.
4. Write the connecting word (conjunction) on that dotted line.
