                      Making of Complex sentence
               A simple sentence can be converted into a complex sentence by expanding a word or
               phrase into a subordinate clause - which can be a noun clause, an adjective clause or an adverb
               clause

               Rules- to make complex sentence by adding two or more than two simple sentence

               By using noun clause-

               As we know noun clause works in five ways like Subject of verb, Object of transitive verb or
               preposition, Verb of incomplete predication ( is,are,am,was, were) and complement and in case
               of opposition. Note that it is usually a noun or a noun equivalent that can be changed into a
               noun clause
               In synthesis also noun form can be use
