You can make a complex sentence by making one clause a noun clause and join with another independent clause. To do that, you can simply follow theses basic steps:
STEP 1 -- Find the word which can refer to the whole a sentence.
- Ex 1 He said something. He would not come.
- Ex 2 Tell me (something). Do you like coffee?
- Ex 3 I don't know (something). Where do you live?
STEP 2 -- Change that sentence (which the noun refers to) to a noun clause by adding proper NOUN CLAUSE MARKER.
that he would not come.- Ex 1 He said something. THAT he would not come
- Ex 2 Tell me (something). IF/WHETHER you like coffee
- Ex 3 I don't know (something). WHERE you live
STEP 3 -- Use the noun clause to replace the word (you have identified in step 1).
We get the complex sentences as in the following.- Ex 1 He said that he would not come.
- Ex 2 Tell me if / whether you like coffee.
- Ex 3 I don't know where you live.
