16. Grammar Write compound/complex sentences
Use the following coordinating conjunctions for compound sentences: FANBOYS,
And
But
For
Nor
Yet Or So

17. Punctuate compound sentences with coordinating conjunctions correctly
Punctuate compound sentences with coordinating conjunctions correctly.Three patterns in writing use coordinating conjunctions. Add commas when required.Pattern 1 — Connecting two main clausesWhen you connect two main clauses with a coordinating conjunction, use a comma. The pattern looks like this: main clause + , + coordinating conjunction + main clause. Here is an example: My dog sleeps on the couch, but my cat sleeps on my bed.

18. Use the following subordinatE conjunctions for complex sentences
after although as because before even if even though if in order that
once provided that rather than since so that than that though unless
until when whenever where whereas wherever whether while why
Some sentences are complex. Such sentences have two clauses, one main [or independent] and one subordinate [or dependent].
The essential ingredient in a complex sentence is the subordinate conjunction:

19. 1. Louisa will wash the sink full of her dirty dishes once her roommate Shane cleans his stubble and globs of shaving cream from the bathroom sink. 2. We looked on top of the refrigerator, where Jenny will often hide a bag of chocolate chip cookies. 3.
