COMPOUND SENTENCES
A compound sentence is a sentence made up of two or more simple sentences connected by a coordinating conjunction (like "and," "but," "or," "so," "yet," etc.).
Here's how to form a compound sentence:
1. Start with two simple sentences. These are sentences that can stand alone by themselves.
Example: "I like pizza." "I like pasta."
2. Connect them using a coordinating conjunction.
Example: "I like pizza and I like pasta."
Now the sentence has two ideas connected together.
Common Coordinating Conjunctions:
- And (adds ideas)
- But (shows contrast)
- Or (shows choices)
- So (shows cause or effect)
- Yet (shows contrast, similar to "but")
Example of a compound sentence:
- "I like pizza and I like pasta."
}This is a compound sentence because it connects two simple sentences with "and."
That's it! Just combine two sentences with a coordinating conjunction to make a compound sentence!
