Compound Sentences

1. Compound Sentences

2. A Compound Sentence is a
sentence that joins two
independent clauses together
with a coordinating
conjunction or semicolon.

3. Formula
Compound Sentence =
Independent Clause
+ Conjunction
Independent Clause

4. An independent clause is a
clause that can stand alone.
It is a group of words that
contains a subject and verb
and expresses a complete
thought. An independent
clause is a sentence.

5. Example:
1. The cat was happy.
2. He slept underneath the
bed.
Compound= The cat was happy,
and he slept underneath the
bed.

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

7. Comma + Coordinating
Conjunction
A coordinating conjunction
is also known as a
F.A.N.B.O.Y.S.
For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet,
So.

8. For
And
Nor
But
Or
Yet
So

9. Comma + CC/FANBOYS
Examples:
1. The teens walked to the
park, but it was closed.
2. The gentleman did not
know where the sound came
from, so he hid behind the
tree.

10. Semicolon
You can also use a semicolon
to create a compound sentence
since the two statements are
equal.
Examples:
1. The teacher applauded the
class; the kids beamed with
pride.

11. Encircle the two independent
clauses in each compound
sentence and box the
coordinating conjunction
used

12. 1. The rain fell for hours,
and it ruined the picnic.
2. I left, but Marcy stayed.
3. Polar bears feed on
seals, and seals feed on
fish.

13. 4. Female penguins usually
stay at sea, but they return
when their eggs hatch.
5. The sloth eats, and it
sleeps while hanging upside
down.

14. Complex Sentences

15. A complex sentence has at
least two parts: one that
can stand alone (independent
clause) and another one that
cannot (dependent clause).
The part that cannot stand
alone is linked to the rest
of the sentence by a
subordinating conjunction

16. Formula
Complex Sentence =
Independent Clause
+ Dependent Clause

17. Complex Sentence
Since we wanted to have fun,
we went to San Juan
yesterday.

18. Complex Sentence
Since we wanted to have fun,
we went to San Juan yesterday..

"although," "as," "because,"
"before," "how," "if," "once,"
"since," "than," "that," though,"
"till," "until," "when," "where,"
"whether,” and while."

"although," "as," "because,"
"before," "how," "if," "once,"
"since," "than," "that," though,"

22. Encircle the independent
clause and box the dependent
clause in each complex
sentence.

of the cliff while the
climber moves up the rock.
2. Although she was
considered smart, she is not
a snob.

23. 3. I like to wear blue,

5. He was still unhappy,
although he is wealthy.

24. Inverted Sentences

25. A verb must agree with its
subject, in number and in
person, i.e. a subject in
form must have a singular
verb, and the subject in the
plural form must have a
plural verb.

26. In most sentences, the
subject comes first and is
followed by the verb.
Examples:
1. The dog runs toward the
bone.
2. Many Filipinos love adobo.

27. Sometimes, however, the
subject and verb are reversed
or inverted, in which case
the verb comes before the
subject. The resulting
inverted sentences can cause
confusion in subject-verb
agreement.

28. Take notice of the following
sentences. Which of the two
inverted sentences is
correct?
1. In her hand is two roses.
2. In her hand are two roses.

31. Directions: Complete each of
the inverted sentences by
choosing the correct form of
the verb inside the
parentheses.

36. Adjectives

37. An adjective is a word
that is used to describe a
noun or pronoun. It helps you
express your ideas more
clearly by allowing you to
give additional information
about words. Adjectives also
help the readers to have a
clearer picture of what the
writer is talking about.

38. Like proper nouns, there
are also adjectives that need
to be capitalized; they are
called proper adjectives. A
proper adjective is a word
that modifies nouns and
pronouns and is formed from a
proper noun.

39. Mediana’s, Filipino, and Waray are proper adjectives.

40. On the other hand, some
adjectives are formed by
joining two different words
to give a new meaning. These
adjectives are called
compound adjectives. They are
usually hyphenated (-) to
avoid confusion.

41. Consider the following
examples:
1. Our family enjoyed the
two-day vacation we had in
Palawan.
2. Sarah Geronimo is a well-
known singer.

42. Also, there are other
adjectives that come after a
linking verb and modify the
subject of the linking verb.
They are called predicate
adjectives. A predicate
adjective is a subject
complement, a word or group of
words that follows a linking
verb or verb phrase such as is,
am, were, taste, look, sound,
have been and did seem.

word. Write A if it is an
adjective and N if it is not.
