A simple sentence can be converted to a complex sentence by expanding a word or phrase into a subordinate clause. This subordinate clause can be a noun clause, an adjective clause or an adverb clause.

Study the following example.

We need a house to live in..

This simple sentence can be converted into a complex sentence by expanding the noun ‘his innocence’ into a noun clause.

We need a house where we can live in
