Introduction
Sentence is an expression in natural language,and often defined to indicate a grammatical
unitconsisting of one or more words that generally bear minimal syntactic relation to
the words that precedeor follow it. A sentence can include words groupedmeaningfully
to express a statement, question,exclamation, request or command.

Introduction
The compound sentence is oneof the four basic sentencestructures.

Introduction
•
A compound sentence is when you combine each groupof a sentences, using the
conjunction given.
•
Form a compound subject, a compound predicate, or acompound sentence. Also it is
when you put together allthree of them together and then it makes a
compoundsentence.
•
Compound sentences can make writing rich and colorful.While beginning writers
generally learn to write simplesentences first, compound sentences provide moredetail
and make paragraphs more interesting andengaging.
•
When forming compound sentences, it is important tounderstand the components
of a compound sentenceand to use the proper punctuation to join clauses.

•
Compound sentence is sentence that contains at leasttwo independent
clauses linked together.
•
It does not require a dependent clause.
•
The main clauses can be separated by a period (.),
a period indicates a complete stop.
•
A compound sentence structure shows that two thoughtsare connected and of
equal importance.


a coordinating conjunction :"and", "but", "for", "or",
"nor“,"yet", or "so" (with or
without a comma).

a correlative conjunction(with or without a comma).

a semicolon that functionsas a conjunction (with or without conjunctive adverbs).

These four important characteristics of compoundsentences:
•
A compound sentence is like a set of twins; each is aseparate person, yet each is
connected to the other withthe same biological "make-up." That is, each has asubject, a
verb, and words to complete the thought. Although they are joined by a linking
word, eachsentence of the compound is complete in itself and canstand alone.
•
The two parts of the compound sentence need to belinked correctly, with a comma and
then a linking word atthe place where one sentence ends and the other begins.
(Otherwise you will have a sentence error calleda run-on sentence. Run-on sentences are
typicallycompound sentences without the proper punctuationand/or linking word.)
Session
•
Because there are two complete sentences in acompound sentence, each has equal weight in
terms of the ideas being presented. That is, you may want to linksentences into a compound
to show that their ideas areequally important.
•
The linking word shows the relationship between theideas:

and = the 2nd sentence contains the same type of idea

but = the 2nd sentence contains an equal but opposite idea

or = the 2nd sentence contains an equal choice

so = the 2nd sentence contains an equally important outcomeor result

Example for Sentences That Are NotCompound Sentences
•
When I visit my mother, I eat cookies.* This is NOT a compound sentence because
"When I visit mymother" is not an independent clause and a coordinator is
notused.
•
I like to fish
because
fishing is fun.* Although "I like to fish" is an independent clause and "fishing
isfun" is an independent clause, this is still not a compoundsentence. It is a
complex sentence, since none of the seven
coordinators are used here.
Only independent clauses joined by one of theabove coordinators are compound
sentences. When anindependent clause and a dependent clause are joined,a complex
sentence is formed, which is distinct from acompound sentence.

Conclusion
•
A compound sentence contains two or moreindependent clauses joined by a
coordinator. It isdistinct from a complex sentence, which is anindependent clause that is
joined with a dependentclause.
•
they are joined by a
coordinator
with a commapreceding it.
•
It does not require a dependent clause.

QUIZ!!!
A. Directions: In the following exercises, turn the sentence pairs into single
compoundsentences, each with a coordinating conjunction. You can rearrange
or add wordsinthe sentence to make it sound better, but only if it's
necessary.1. The black dog has won many prizes. He doesn't know many
tricks. ____________________________________________________________
____ 2. She saw a cat run in front of her. She fell down while roller-
skating. ___________________________________________________________
_____ 3. There was a meteor shower. The crew did not know how to avoid the
meteors. ___________________________________________________________
_____ 4. I wanted to buy a baby Chihuahua. I started to save my
money. ____________________________________________________________
____ 5. Gillian did not like to read. She was not very good at
