26.Compound Sentences
Compound sentences are made up
of two or more simple sentences combined using a conjunction such as
and, or or but. They are made up of more than one independent clause
joined together with a co-ordinating conjunction.
For example:
"The sun was setting in
the west and the moon was just rising."
Each clause can stand alone as
a sentence.
For example:
"The sun was setting in
the west. The moon was just rising."
Every clause is like a sentence
with a subject and a verb. A coordinating conjunction goes in the
middle of the sentence, it is the word that joins the two clauses
together, the most common are (and, or, but)
For example:
I walked to the shops, but my
husband drove.
I might watch the film, or I
might visit my friends.
My friend enjoyed the film, but
she didn't like the actor.
