Five friends were talking about Earth’s interior. They each had different ideas about what the inside of Earth was like. This is what they said:

Rudy: I think we would see layers. Most of the inside of Earth will be hot liquid.

Lizzy: I think we would see layers. Most of the inside of Earth will be solid.

Zara: I think we would see three layers with a giant magnet in the center of Earth.

Matt: I don’t think there are layers. Earth is made up of rocks and dirt with hot liquid found in the cracks.

Hector: I think we would see sections of solid and liquid Earth with gaps in between.

Who do you think has the best idea?

a complex sentence consists of an independent clause and one or more dependent clauses.  

to write complex sentences, we must use subordinating conjunctions.  

all the complex sentences begin with a subordinating conjunction and when it occurs, a comma must be place at the end of the dependent clause. on the contrary, if the sentence begins with an independent clause, then no comma is used.
