Complex Sentences Exercises For Swahili Grammar

Comprehensive language grammar exercises for proficiency achievement

Complex sentences in Swahili language, just like in English or any other language, are composed by combining two or more clauses. A clause is a group of words which contains a subject and a predicate. Complex sentences can be created by using conjunctions to join clauses, or by using relative pronouns to relate a subordinate clause to a main clause. These type of sentences often express detailed or layered information, making the communication more efficient and fluid.
