Guessing gets you through a quiz; understanding gets you through the exam. Read the full Complex sentences lesson — A complex sentence joins one independent clause to at least one subordinate clause using a subordinator such as because, although, if, when, or which. In IELTS, 'complex' means subordinated, not complicated: accurate complex sentences are the single clearest requirement for moving from Band 6 to Band 7 in Grammatical Range and Accuracy.
