6. Complex
to Compound:
A complex sentence is characterized by one independent clause and
at least one dependent clause.
একটি Complex sentence এ একটি
independent clause এবং কমপক্ষে একটি dependent clause থাকে।
Such as, I will wait here until you come.
On the other hand, a compound sentence is characterized by at
least two independent clauses which can be used as separate sentences and are
connected with coordinating conjunctions.
পক্ষান্তরে একটি compound sentence এ কমপক্ষে দুটি
independent clause থাকে যারা পৃথক sentence হিসেবে ব্যবহৃত হতে পারে এবং coordinating conjunction দিয়ে যুক্ত থাকে ।
Such as, Listening to music and singing songs
are my hobbies.
The rules for transforming complex sentence to compound sentence
are discussed below.
Complex sentence কে compound sentence এ রূপান্তরিত করার নিয়ম নীচে বর্ণিত হলো ।
Rule 1:
If the complex sentence has “though”/”Although” in the beginning,
the compound sentence will use the conjunction “but”/”yet” to connect the
different clauses.
Complex sentence এর শুরুতে “though”/”Although”
থাকলে, compound sentence “but”/”yet” conjunction দিয়ে পৃথক clause
গুলোকে যুক্ত করে ।
Complex: Though he is poor, he is happy.
Compound: He is poor, but he is happy.
Complex: Although she is ill, she worked very
hard.
Compound: She is ill, yet she worked very hard.
Complex: Though the class was lengthy, the class
was enjoyable.
Compound: The class was lengthy, but it was
enjoyable.
Rule 2:
If the complex sentence has “lest” in the middle having “should”
after the person, the compound sentence will use the conjunction
“or”/”otherwise” to connect the different clauses, and future tense will be
used in the second clause.
Complex sentence এর মাঝে যদি “lest”
থাকে এবং person এর পরে “should” থাকে তবে compound sentence এ
conjunction “or”/”otherwise” ব্যবহার করে পৃথক clause
গুলোকে যুক্ত করা হয় এবং দ্বিতীয় clause এ future tense হয় ।
Complex: Study hard lest you should fail.
Compound: Study hard, or you will fail.
Complex: Practice hard lest you should be out of
the cricket team.
Compound: Practice hard otherwise you will be out
of the cricket team.
Rule 3:
If the complex sentence has “As soon as” in the beginning, the
compound sentence will use the conjunction “and” to join the different clauses.
Complex sentence এর শুরুতে “As
soon as” থাকলে, compound sentence “and” conjunction দিয়ে পৃথক clause
গুলোকে যুক্ত করে ।
Complex: As soon as the rain stopped, we started
the journey.
Compound: The rain stopped, and we started the
journey.
Complex: As soon as the crowd saw the hero, they
started shouting.
Compound: The crowd saw the hero and started
shouting.
Rule 4:
If the complex sentence has “since”/”as”/”when” in the beginning,
the compound sentence will use “and”/”so”/”hence”/”therefore” to connect the
different clauses.
Complex sentence এর শুরুতে “since”/”as”/”when”
থাকলে, compound sentence “and”/”so”/”hence”/”therefore” দিয়ে পৃথক clause
গুলোকে যুক্ত করে ।
Complex: Since the weather was bad, the match did
not take place.
Compound: The weather was bad, and the match did
not take place.

the west.
Compound: The sun has set to the west, and
therefore it is evening.
Rule 5:
If the complex sentence has relative pronoun “who”, the compound
sentence will use “and” in that place and object of the first clause will be
the subject of the second clause.
Complex sentence এ relative pronoun “who” থাকলে,
compound sentence সে স্থানে “and” ব্যবহার করে এবং প্রথম clause এর object দ্বিতীয় clause এর subject হয়ে যায় ।
Complex: I saw a girl who was singing.
Compound: I saw a girl, and she was singing.
Complex: I have a friend who is a writer.
Compound: I have a friend, and she is a writer.
Rule 6:
If the complex sentence starts with “if” having first or third
person after it and it bears a negative meaning while transforming it to
compound this structure will be followed, “Let+ object form of pronoun+
affirmative form of subordinate clause+ or/otherwise+ main clause”.
Complex sentence এর শুরুতে “if”
ও এর পরে first or third person থাকলে এবং তা যদি
negative অর্থ প্রকাশ করে তবে compound করার সময় এই structure follow করা হয় “Let+
pronoun এর object form + subordinate clause এর
affirmative form + or/otherwise + main clause” ।
Complex: If I do not go there I will be unable to
learn it.
Compound: let me go there or/otherwise I will be
unable to learn it.
Complex: if I do not study hard I will be unable
to get good marks.
Compound: Let me study hard or/otherwise I will be
unable to get good marks.
Rule 7:
If the complex sentence starts with “if” having first or third
person after it and it is in affirmative form while transforming it to compound
this structure will be followed, “Let+ object form of pronoun+ “and” between
two clauses+ main clause”.
Complex sentence এর শুরুতে “if”
ও এর পরে first or third person থাকলে এবং তা যদি
affirmative form এ থাকে তবে compound করার সময় এই structure follow করা হয়, “Let+
pronoun এর object form + দুই clauses এর মাঝে “and”
+ main clause” ।
Complex: If I go there, I will be able to learn
it.
Compound: let me go there, and I will be able to
learn it.
Complex: if I study hard, I will be able to get
good marks.
Compound: Let me study hard, and I will be able to

When the complex sentence starts with “if” having the second
person after it and expressing a negative meaning, the compound sentence will
omit “If you do not” and use an affirmative form of verb+ or/otherwise + the
main clause.
Complex sentence এর শুরুতে
“if” ও এর পরে second person থাকলে এবং তা যদি
negative অর্থ প্রকাশ করে তবে compound করার সময় “If you do not” উঠে গিয়ে verb এর
affirmative form + or/otherwise + main clause হয়।
Complex: If you do not study hard, you will fail.
Compound: Study hard, or you will fail.
Complex: If you do not practice more, you cannot

will follow this rule, “very “ in place of “so”; ”and” in place of “that”
