This document discusses compound sentences. It defines a compound sentence as having at least two independent clauses joined together with coordinating conjunctions, semicolons, or conjunctive adverbs. Examples are provided of compound sentences using coordinating conjunctions like "and", "but", and "or". The document also discusses how to make compound subjects and compound predicates by joining two simple sentences together around a shared subject or predicate.

2. COMPOUND SENTENCE
• A compound sentence is composed of at least
two independent clauses.
• It does not require a dependent clause.
• The clauses are joined by a coordinating
conjunction (with or without a comma), a
correlative conjunction (with or without a
comma), a semicolon that functions as a
conjunction, or a conjunctive adverb preceded
by a semicolon.

3. • A conjunction can be used to make a
compound sentence.
• The use of a comma to separate two
independent clauses is called a comma
splice and is generally considered an error
(when used in the English language).

4. EXAMPLES
• My friend invited me to a tea party, but my
parents didn't let me go.
• Do you want to stay here, or would you like to
go shopping with me?
• I have much work to finish; therefore, I will be
up all night. (The conjunctive adverb
"therefore" joins the two independent
clauses).

5. • I was scared, but I didn't run away.
Both clauses are independent. Therefore, this
is a compound sentence but not a complex
sentence.

6. • I like playing baseball.
• Basketball is my favorite sports.
1) I like playing baseball, but basketball is my
favorite sport.
• My grandpa lived on a farm.
• There were pigs on the farm.
2) My grandpa lived on a farm, and there were
pigs on the farm.

7. • I went to the movie theatre on Saturday.
• The movie "Dinosaurs" was great.
3) I went to the movie theatre on Saturday, and
the movie "Dinosaurs" was great.

8. COMPOUND SUBJECTS
• You can combine two sentences with the
same predicate.
• Join the subjects with “and” to make a
compound subject.

9. EXAMPLES
• Jake likes playing on the see saw.
• Kelly likes playing on the see saw.
1. Jake and Kelly like playing on the see saw.
• My dog is cute.
• Your cat is cute.
2. My dog and your cat are cute.

10. • My family went on vacation.
• I went on vacation.
3. My family and I went on vacation.

11. COMPOUND PREDICATES
• You can combine two sentences with the
same subject.
• Join the predicate with “and” to make a
compound predicate.

12. EXAMPLES

1. Frankie likes eating pizza and drinking coke.
• They are friends.
• They are playing with a balloon.
2. They are friends and are playing with a
