Transformation Simple Complex Rules

The document discusses different types of sentences in English: simple, compound, and complex. Simple sentences contain one clause with one subject and one finite verb. Compound sentences join two simple sentences with coordinating conjunctions like "and" or "but." Complex sentences contain one main clause and at least one subordinate clause introduced by words like "since," "when," or "although." The document provides examples to illustrate the structures of each sentence type and discusses how to transform sentences between simple, compound, and complex forms while maintaining the same meaning.
