Pelawat, many IELTS test takers feel that complex sentences are, well, complicated. But here's the good news: they're actually easier to master than you think! Let's look at three common struggles with complex sentences and how to fix them. 1. Mixing Up 'Who' and 'Which' Mistake: The chart shows the number of students, which is from various countries studying in the UK. The word "which" incorrectly refers to "students," making the sentence unclear. Correct Version: The chart shows the number of students from various countries who are studying in the UK. Why It's Correct: Here, "who" correctly refers to the students, making the relationship clear. 2. Confusing Phrases That Don't Make Sense Mistake: After completing the research, the results were surprising. The phrase "After completing the research" appears to describe "the results," but results cannot complete research. Correct Version: After completing the research, the researcher found the results surprising. Why It's Correct: The corrected sentence makes it clear that the researcher completed the research, not the results. 3. Wrong Use of 'If' Sentences Mistake: If people will have a better education, they can get better jobs. Using "will" in the "if" clause is incorrect in conditional sentences. Correct Version: If people have a better education, they can get better jobs. Why It's Correct: The first conditional structure ("If + present simple, ... can + verb") is used to talk about real and possible situations in the future.
