Compound-Complex sentences in Thai grammar are more intricate sentences that combine independent and dependent clauses, much like in English. They allow speakers to express more complex ideas with clarity; particularly useful when discussing specific details, multiple actions, or explaining context. Compound-complex sentences can be long but bear in mind, over-complicating a sentence can confuse readers or listeners.
