How many clauses and objects are there in this sentence

Question

Actually, on account of a festival, I received a mail from my management. I felt that the following sentence in that mail is wrong. Because I can't determine whether it is simple, complex or compound sentence. Please have a look at this sentence and let me know whether it is grammatically correct or not. If possible, please explain it clearly.

Our team is so blessed to have each other, since we are special in our own way - Creative, Hardworking, Dedicated, Committed, Passionate, so making work fly by.

I really appreciate any help you can provide

Answer 1

My guess is that making work fly by acts as a compound adjective. We can connect the words with hyphens to make it more readable:

Our team is so blessed to have each other, since we are special in our own way - Creative, Hardworking, Dedicated, Committed, Passionate, so making-work-fly-by.

It is a complex sentence, because it has the conjunction since in the beginning of the dependent clause "since we are special in our own way ..".

There are two clauses in the sentence, with the second clause including a list of adjectival words illustrating the adjective special.

These words- *Creative, hardworking.." - are appositive adjectives:

Appositive adjective: a traditional grammatical term for an adjective (or a series of adjectives) that follows a noun and, like a nonrestrictive appositive, is set off by commas or dashes. (from About.com)
