Hi! plez help me to find the answer: Defination for complex-complex sentence.

Did you mean "compound-complex sentence"? One rarely hears of a "complex-complex sentence".

This link describes simple, complex, and compound sentences: Sentences:  Simple, Compound, and Complex

A compound-complex sentence contains more than one independent clause and at least one dependent clause.

Some people define a complex-complex sentence as one that contains a dependent clause that itself has a dependent clause. Others would simply call that "complex".

Note the correct spelling of "please" and "definition". Please don't use textspeak/chatlist (pls/plz/plez) on the forum.
