  2. Compound Sentences ~ A Glance at Grammar

  3. What? • An independent clause is a clause which can stand alone (like a parent). It is a group of words which contains a subject and verb and expresses a complete thought. • An independent clause is a sentence.

  4. Definition • A Compound Sentence is a sentence which joins two independent clauses together with a coordinating conjunction or semicolon.

  5. Formula • Compound Sentence = Independent Clause + Independent Clause

  6. Fixing Choppy Sentences • Ex) The grumpy cat was hungry. • Ex) I fixed him a bowl of yummy food. • Compound= The grumpy cat was hungry, so I fixed him a bowl of yummy food.

  7. Combining Clauses • There are two ways to combine independent causes to make a compound sentence: • Comma + Coordinating Conjunction • Semicolon

  8. Comma + Coordinating Conjunction • A coordinating conjunction is also known as a F.A.N.B.O.Y.S.

  9. For • And • Nor • But • Or • Yet • So

  10. Comma + CC/FANBOYS • Ex) The teens walked to the park, but it was closed. • Ex) The gentleman did not know where the sound came from, so he hid behind the tree.

  11. Combining Clauses • There are two ways to combine independent causes to make a compound sentence: • Comma + Coordinating Conjunction • Semicolon

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