复杂句和复合句区别

复合句

复合句分为并列复合句（也称并列句）和主从或从属复合句（也称复杂句）。

Beijing is in the North and Nanjing is in the South.

特点：When two independent clauses, or complete sentences are joined together, they form one compound sentence.

复合句是由两个独立的`句子组合在一起构成的。例句中，有下面两个完整并且独立的句子组成：

Beijing is in the North.

Nanjing is in the South.

复杂句

复杂句，某个句子成分直接由从属分句表示，那么这种句子便不是简单句而是复杂句。

My uncle, who is seventy years old, works on a farm.

特点：When an independent clause and a dependent clause are joined together; they form one complex sentence.

复合句是由一个独立的句子加一个从句构成的。

China is a country that its history is very long.

China is a country.(独立句子)

That its history is very long(从句)
