Compound-Complex Sentence contains two or more independent clauses and one or more dependent clauses. 

Example 1: 

  • The man stole the jewelry and he hid it in his home until he could safely get out of town. 
  • Although our team feared the opposition, they played exceptionally well, and they almost won the game. 
  • After she left, Mary went to sleep and I did the dishes. 

Note that, the subordinating conjunction “after” tells us that “after she left” is a dependent clause, and that the coordinating conjunction “and” tells us that there are two independent clauses.
