2. Hello & What’s Happening Stopping at 7:45 to go over general information Participation Using strategies and terms guide for this session Finishing March 16 th session from last time – Compound Complex Sentences

3. Compound Sentences A compound sentence is a sentence that contains two complete ideas (called clauses) that are related. These two clauses are usually connected in a compound sentence by a conjunction. The coordinating conjunctions are "and", "but", "for", "or", "nor", "yet", or "so". Example: Batman is a hero. He is successful in catching the criminals in his city. Batman is a hero, and he is successful in catching the criminals in his city. OR… Batman is a hero, for he is successful in catching the criminals in his city. Directions: In the following exercises, turn the sentence pairs into single compound sentences, each with a coordinating conjunction. You can rearrange or add words in the 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 it.

4. Compound-Complex Sentences A compound-complex sentence is made from two independent clauses and one or more dependent clauses. Some examples: 1. Although I like to go camping, I haven't had the time to go lately, and I haven't found anyone to go with. independent clause: "I haven't had the time to go lately" independent clause: "I haven't found anyone to go with" dependent clause: "Although I like to go camping... " * * * * * 2. We decided that the movie was too violent, but our children, who like to watch scary movies, thought that we were wrong. independent clause: "We decided that the movie was too violent" independent clause: "(but) our children thought that we were wrong" dependent clause: who like to watch scary movies Compound-complex sentences are very common in English, but one mistake that students often make is to try to write them without having mastered the simple sentences, compound sentences, and complex sentences first simple sentencescompound sentencescomplex sentences

5. A sentence with at least two independent clauses and one or more dependent clauses (which can also be called subordinate clause) is referred to as a complex-compound sentence.
