There should be an award for the first post of a new assignment. What might that be?
And I have a friend whose nephew was in a scout camp in Wisconsin and a bear pulled him out of his tent at night and tried to carry him off and eat him and only let go when dozens of scouts attaked the bear with rocks and sticks and forced it to drop the boy, who had to get hundreds of stitches and has not fully recovered the use of his arm.
This is a compound-complex sentence because it has two independent clauses and two dependent clause. The first independent clause is "I have a friend whose nephew was in a scout camp in Wisconsin" and the second independent clause is "a bear pulled him out of his tent at night and tried to carry him off and eat him and only let go." The first dependent clause is "when dozens of scouts attaked the bear with rocks and sticks and forced it to drop the boy" and the second dependent clause is "who had to get hundreds of stitches and has not fully recovered the use of his arm."
This is a compound-complex sentence because it consists of two independent clauses and two dependent clauses. The first independent clause is “I have a friend whose nephew was…,” where “I” works as the subject and “have” works as the verb, and the second independent clause is “a bear pulled him out of his ten”, where ‘bear’ works as the subject and “pulled” works as the verb. The first dependent clause is “dozens of scouts attacked the bear”, where “scouts” is the subject and “attacked” is the verb, and the second dependent clause is “who had to get”, where “who’ I the subject and “had” is the verb.
