2. Definition A Compound Sentence is a sentence that joins two simple sentences together with a comma, conjunction or semicolon.

3. Simple Sentence = Independent Clause

4. Compound Sentence = Independent Clause + Independent Clause

5. What? An independent clause is a clause that can stand alone. It is a group of words that contains a subject and verb and expresses a complete thought. An independent clause is a sentence.

6. Compound Sentences A compound sentence contains two independent clauses. Conjunctions (for, and, nor, but, or, and yet, so) join these independent clauses. (Hint: The conjunctions spell FANBOYS.) The conjunction used can impact the meaning of the sentence.

8. Sample Compound Sentences He is very ill but he goes to his work. There are many weaknesses in her character, yet I love her. He was inexperienced, so he suffered loss in business. His work was satisfactory, therefore he was given an increment.

9. Combining Clauses There are three ways to combine independent causes to make a compound sentence: Comma Conjunction Semicolon

10. Comma + Conjunction Eg. The teens walked to the park but it was closed. Eg. The gentleman did not know where the sound came from, so he hid behind the tree.

11. Semicolon You can also use a semicolon to create a compound sentence since the two statements are equal. Eg. The teacher applauded the class; the kids beamed with pride. Eg. The dog ate; the cat slept.

12. Compound-Complex Sentences A compound-complex sentence is a sentence that has at least two independent clauses and at least one dependent clause.

13. The subordinating conjunctions are used to introduce the dependent clauses. Subordinate Conjunction Eg. I didn't write the TCS aptitude test. I was topper of the class. Compound: I didn't write the TCS aptitude test because i was topper of the class.

14. The coordinating conjunctions (FANBOYS) are used for joining the independent clauses. Coordinating Conjunctions Eg. I want to work as an interpreter in the future. I am studying Russian at university. Compound: I want to work as an interpreter in the future, so I am studying Russian at university.

15. Sample Compound-Complex Sentences 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... "
