Uma frase simples tem uma oraĆ§Ć£o. Uma frase complexa tem duas oraƧƵes ou mais. Numa frase complexa, hĆ” uma oraĆ§Ć£o principal e uma oraĆ§Ć£o subordinada. A oraĆ§Ć£o principal pode ficar sozinha, mas a subordinada depende da principal para ter sentido completo.
A simple sentence has one clause. A complex sentence has two or more clauses. In a complex sentence, there is a main clause and a subordinate clause. The main clause can stand alone, but the subordinate depends on the main clause to have full meaning.
A oraĆ§Ć£o principal traz a ideia central da frase. A oraĆ§Ć£o subordinada acrescenta uma informaĆ§Ć£o sobre causa, tempo, condiĆ§Ć£o ou contraste. As duas oraƧƵes formam uma unidade de sentido. A ligaĆ§Ć£o entre elas costuma ser feita por uma conjunĆ§Ć£o subordinativa.
The main clause conveys the central idea of the sentence. The subordinate clause adds information about cause, time, condition, or contrast. The two clauses form a single unit of meaning. The link between them is usually made by a subordinating conjunction.

A frase complexa pode ligar ideias diferentes. Com causa, uma oraĆ§Ć£o explica o motivo da outra. Com tempo, uma oraĆ§Ć£o indica o momento da outra. Com condiĆ§Ć£o, uma oraĆ§Ć£o mostra o que precisa acontecer. Com contraste, uma oraĆ§Ć£o apresenta uma ideia diferente da expectativa.
The complex sentence can connect different ideas. With cause, one clause explains the reason for the other. With time, one clause indicates the moment of the other. With condition, one clause shows what needs to happen. With contrast, one clause presents an idea different from the expectation.

A oraĆ§Ć£o principal pode vir antes ou depois da oraĆ§Ć£o subordinada. A ordem muda a organizaĆ§Ć£o da frase, mas a relaĆ§Ć£o entre as ideias continua a mesma. Quando a oraĆ§Ć£o subordinada vem primeiro, ela prepara a informaĆ§Ć£o principal. A frase precisa manter clareza e sentido na ligaĆ§Ć£o das duas partes.
The main clause can come before or after the subordinate clause. The order changes the organization of the sentence, but the relationship between the ideas remains the same. When the subordinate clause comes first, it prepares the main information. The sentence must maintain clarity and meaning in linking the two parts.
