Grow Writers with a Complex Sentence Worksheet Pack

Help your students master more complex sentence structures with this Complex Sentence Worksheet Pack, designed specifically for upper elementary learners. As students progress through the grades, it becomes increasingly important for them to build strong writing skills—including the ability to craft and identify complex sentence types.

This Complex Sentence Worksheet Pack offers specialized practice to help students develop their ability to identify and use dependent and independent clauses to write complex sentences.

A Variety of Writing Complex Sentences Practice Sheets

This Writing Complex Sentences Practice set includes thoughtfully designed complex sentence worksheets that combine reading comprehension with grammar and writing development. Each two-sided worksheet includes a short reading passage that students will annotate, identifying the subordinating conjunction, dependent clause and independent clause used by the author.

After completing the passage annotation, students will transition into Writing Complex Sentences Practice. Each worksheet includes 8 prompts in which students are asked to combine two simple sentences into one well-formed complex sentence.

This resource includes answer keys for easy grading.
