Simple, Compound and Complex Sentences
While the police were using all their skills and knowledge and carrying out a thorough search according to the methods, they had not used their brains.
This sentence has one independent clause (the chief of the police reported the case to a friend of his) and two dependent clauses (“realized at once” & “the thief must be an extremely clever fellow”) which are connected by the subordinating conjunctions ‘who’ and ‘that’. So it must be a complex sentence.
