Rules of Simple, Complex and Compound
Generally, transformation of sentence is the most important topic for the students of SSC and HSC levels. But most of the students are very worried of the topic. To make it easy, I have tried to give some instructions and shortcut way so that they can understand it easily. I am hopeful that all the students can solve the topic easily if they follow the instructions.
