B. ANALYSIS
(Teacher’s Activity) (Students’ Activity)
Presentation
Okay class, I’m going to present you a video.
Please listen and look closely.

Video: https://youtu.be/Z0bZ8wNfuYA Student: Complex Sentence Sir has one independent

clause and one dependent clause.
Now class, according to the video, what is a
Complex Sentence? Student: Compound-Complex Sentence Sir has two
independent clauses and one dependent clause.
Very good, now how about the Compound-
Complex Sentence?

Good job class. Now I’m going to discuss you the

topic.

Complex Sentence
Complex Sentence is a sentence with one independent
clause and one dependent clause.

(1IC + 1DC = Complex Sentence)

Example:
Although I’m not very good, I really enjoy playing
football.

(1IC + 1DC = Complex Sentence)

1. They can go, wherever they want.
2. I won’t go to the party though I was invited.
3. I will go to the cinema only if it rains tomorrow.

Compound-Complex Sentence
Compound-Complex Sentence is a sentence that
contains at least two independent clauses and one
dependent clause

(2IC + 1DC = Compound-Complex Sentence)

Example:

While Tom reads novels, Jack reads comics, but Sam

reads only magazines.

(2IC + 1DC = Compound-Complex Sentence)

1. Because I worked hard, I won in the singing
contest and I was so joyful.
2. Though my brother doesn’t agree, I am tall and
he is short.
3. I went to the mall, and I picked up the food
before dinner.

Now class, since you now have an idea DIFFERENTIATED INSTRUCTION

about Complex Sentence and Compound-Complex
Sentences, we will going to have an activity.
Task 1.
Instruction: Identify the dependent clause and
independent clause in each sentence. Tell if the

3. Why do we need to study this?
