[edit] Contrast section

The following passage from the article is patently untrue.

A sentence with a relative clause, a clause that has no function but describes its noun phrase, does not fulfill the dependent clause requirement of a complex sentence. A sentence is complex only when it contains a subordinate clause which fulfills a syntactic function within the sentence.

A complex sentence is a sentence that features one (and only one) main clause and one or more dependent clauses. Adjective clauses and adverb clauses count.

And the example sentence (I ate the meal which you cooked.) is a bad (but definitely complex) sentence. Either the relative pronoun which should be preceded by a comma or it should be replaced with that. I'm deleting the entire section. --ForDorothy 13:29, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

And the examples of compound and compound-complex sentences don't belong in this article either. Both concepts have their own articles. --ForDorothy 13:32, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
