Punctuation marks in English serve various purposes, including indicating pauses, separating elements, clarifying meaning, and organizing text.

Complex Sentences

Complex Sentences

A complex sentence is a sentence that contains one independent clause (main clause) and one or more dependent clauses (subordinate clauses). An independent clause can stand alone as a complete sentence, while dependent clauses rely on the independent clause for meaning and cannot stand alone.

Independent Elements

Independent Elements

Grammatically independent elements in a sentence are components that can stand alone as complete thoughts but are incorporated into a larger sentence to provide additional information, emphasis, or clarity. These elements are often set off by punctuation marks to signal their independence.
