    What is a compound sentence
     A compound sentences is a sentence made up
    of two complete thoughts.
     Each part of the sentence can stand alone as a
    complete sentence.
     Compound sentences are connected by two
    types of connectors, which we will talk about
    later.
    Compound Sentences
    Example of compound sentences:
     The students finished class, and they went to
    lunch.

     Kevin did not want to hurt Kathy’s feelings, so he


    said nothing about her mistake.

    Switzerland for two years.

    between compound
    sentences and SS VV simple
    sentences?
    Things that are the same.

    How to combine two
    independent clauses

    We have two ways


    First way…

     A Coordinating Conjunction
     A word that is used with a comma to join
    two independent clauses
    Coordinating Conjunctions
     , for  , but
     , and  , or
     , nor  , yet
     , so
    Examples

     BASEBALL IS MY FAVORITE SPORT TO WATCH,


    BUT FOOTBALL IS MY FAVORITE SPORT TO
    PLAY.
     THE CHILDREN RAN ALL THE WAY TO SCHOOL,
    YET THEY WERE LATE ANYWAY.
     YOU WILL HAVE TO FINISH THE PROJECT, OR
    YOUR GROUP WILL GET A FAILING GRADE
    Second way
     Semicolons

     Semicolons { ; } can also be used to join the


    two independent clauses of a compound
    sentence.
    Examples
     Susan loves to swim; her brother likes to
    dive.
     Jason was highly respected; he was
    always such a nice person.
     The meeting was over; it was already
    midnight.
