What kind of sentence has one independent and dependent clause?

A sentence with one independent and one dependent clause is called a complex sentence.

Here's a breakdown:

* Independent Clause: A complete thought that can stand alone as a sentence. It has a subject and a verb.

* Dependent Clause: A clause that cannot stand alone as a sentence. It depends on the independent clause for its meaning. It also has a subject and a verb but lacks a complete thought.

Example:

* Because I was tired, I went to bed early.

* Independent Clause: I went to bed early.

* Dependent Clause: Because I was tired.
