Excerpt From The Soloist by Steve Lopez

Preface

1 I'm on foot in downtown Los Angeles, hustling back to the office with another. deadline looming. That's when I see him. He's dressed in rags on a busy downtown street comer, playing Beethoven on a battered violin that looks like it's been pulled from a dumpster.

Complex Sentences and Subordinate Clauses

A complex sentence has a main clause and one or more subordinate clauses. A main clause has a subject and a predicate, and it can stand alone as a sentence.

It can act as an adjective, an adverb, or a noun.
