This document reviews compound and complex sentences. It defines that a compound sentence contains two independent clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction, semicolon, or conjunctive adverb. A complex sentence contains one independent clause and one dependent clause. Examples are provided of identifying subjects, predicates, clauses, and conjunctions in sentences. Common coordinating conjunctions are represented by the acronym FANBOYS. The document distinguishes between simple, compound, and complex sentences.
