To create complex sentences in Spanish, you need to understand subordinate clauses. These are parts of a sentence that rely on the main part. Here’s how to use them:

1. Adverbial Clauses: These answer questions like when, why, how, or under what conditions.

   • Example: Iré al cine si termino mis tareas.
     (I will go to the movies if I finish my homework.)

2. Relative Clauses: These give extra information about a noun.

   • Example: La casa que compré es hermosa.
     (The house that I bought is beautiful.)

3. Noun Clauses: These act as the subject or object in a sentence.

   • Example: Me alegra que hayas venido.
     (I’m glad that you came.)

Words to Remember

• Conjunctions for Subordinate Clauses:
  • que (that)
  • si (if)
  • aunque (although)
  • porque (because)

Different Ways to Talk

• Formal: Use more polished language for school or work.

  • Es fundamental que (It is essential that)

• Informal: Use simpler words in everyday conversations.

  • Es bueno que (It’s good that)
