Setelah sebelumnya mempelajari mengenai topik complex sentence, tentunya kamu sudah mengerti
sedikit banyaknya tentang cara merangkai kalimat complex sentence, bukan? Namun jenis kalimat
yang bisa kamu gunakan dalam percakapan sehari-hari maupun penulisan tidak hanya terbatas pada
complex sentence. Di pelajaran kali ini, penulis akan membahas mengenai contoh kalimat compound
complex sentence dalam Bahasa Inggris.

Sebelum memulai pembahasannya, penulis hanya ingin mengingatkan bahwa struktur kalimat
berjenis compound complex akan lebih rumit daripada complex sentence, namun kamu tidak perlu
khawatir, sebab penulis yakin jika kamu membaca materi ini hingga akhir, kamu akan menguasainya.
Jadi, disimak terus, ya!

Compound Complex Sentence adalah kalimat yang strukturnya terdiri dari 2 kalimat yang bisa berdiri
sendiri (independent) dan 1 atau lebih kalimat yang tidak bisa berdiri sendiri (dependent). Dalam
compound complex sentence, kamu bisa menceritakan 3 peristiwa yang masing-masing memiliki 1
subjek, 1 kata kerja serta 1 kalimat keterangan ataupun lebih.

Sama seperti complex sentence, dalam merangkai kalimat compound complex sentence, kamu juga
akan menggunakan kata penghubung (conjunction) untuk menghubungkan antara kalimat yang satu
dengan kalimat yang lainnya.

Conjunction (kata penghubung) yang bisa kamu gunakan untuk menghubungkan kalimat dependent
dengan independent antara lain:

1. Kongjungsi untuk menunjukkan waktu, seperti before, after, while, since, until.

2. Kongjungsi untuk menunjukkan suatu syarat ataupun kondisi, seperti unless, if

3. Kongjungsi yang menunjukkan sebab-akibat, seperti therefore, because, in order to.

4. Kongjungsi untuk memperjelas identitas, seperti when, where, who, that.

5. Kongjungsi untuk menunjukkan pertentangan seperti Although.

Sedangkan, kongjungsi yang biasa digunakan untuk menghubungkan kedua kalimat independent,
adalah:

1. Kongjungsi untuk menunjukkan penambahan, seperti and.

2. Kongjungsi untuk menunjukkan pertentangan, seperti but, yet.

3. Kongjungsi yang menunjukkan pilihan seperti or.
