 Step 1 : Independent Clause
The first independent clause of your compound complex sentences should
have a strong main idea because it will be the main poins of your
sentences
 Example :

 Step 2 : Related Independent Clause

This means that the two independent clauses will have the same subject.
The second clause should either continue describing the action or add
information about equal importance with the first independent clause.
Example :
The cat sat down on top of the remote control

 Step 3 : Dependent Clause

It wil spice up the two independent clauses that we have already written.
It could tell us more about the situation or explaining an action.
Dependent Cluse can’t be a complete sentence on its own.

Just when I was searching for the remote control.

Gather all of the clauses and decide on an order.
