Question

What type of sentence is this? "If you study well, you will pass the exam."

• A. Simple
• B. Compound
• C. Complex
• D. Compound-Complex

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Complex

This sentence is a complex sentence. 

It contains one independent clause ("you will pass the exam") and one dependent clause ("if you study well"). The dependent clause is introduced by the subordinating conjunction "if". 

Key points about complex sentences:

• They have one main clause and at least one subordinate clause. 

• The subordinate clause cannot stand alone as a complete sentence.
