Defining a Compound Sentence
A compound sentence joins two or more independent clauses with a coordinator such as for, and, or but, or a semi-colon.
Independent clauses are two phrases that can stand alone as a complete thought. They're not dependent upon one another to express a complete thought, but they tie together similar ideas.
This makes compound sentences distinct from
complex sentences, which contain an independent clause joined by at least one
dependent clause. A dependent clause does not form a complete thought and cannot stand alone.
Independent Clause
An independent clause contains three things:
A subject (something or someone that the sentence is about)
An action (a verb - something that is being done)
A complete thought (there are no questions as to meaning at the end of the sentence)
Coordinator
There are seven
coordinating conjunctions in the English Language, which are used to link the independent clauses:
For
And
Nor
But
Or
Yet
So
You can use the acronym FANBOYS to help you remember the seven coordinating conjunctions. When you have two independent clauses joined by one of these coordinators, usually a
comma is required, before the coordinator.
Semi-colon
Compound sentences and
semi-colons work hand in hand. After all, they both join independent clauses. The trick with semi-colons is to use them when the two independent clauses are related ideas, as in the example below.
I'm looking forward to our dinner tonight; you're going to love dining on the water.
Examples of Compound Sentences
Alex likes to fish, and he is going fishing on Friday.
"Alex likes to fish" is an independent clause where "Alex" is the subject, "likes" is the action, and a complete thought is expressed.
"He is going fishing on Friday" is an independent clause where "He" is the subject, "is going" is the action, and a complete thought is expressed.
The coordinator "and" is used, and a comma is correctly placed before "and."
Becky wishes she could be younger, for everyone else in the program is half her age.
"Becky wishes she could be younger" is an independent clause where "Becky" is the subject, "wishes" is the action, and a complete thought is expressed.
"Everyone else in the program is half her age" is an independent clause where "Everyone else in the program" is the subject, "is" is the action, and a complete thought is expressed.
The coordinator "for" is used, and a comma is correctly placed before "for."
She is going to the movies, or she is going to the mall.
"She is going to the movies" is an independent clause where "She" is the subject, "is going" is the action, and a complete thought is expressed.
"She is going to the mall" is an independent clause where "She" is the subject, "is going" is the action, and a complete thought is expressed.
The coordinator "or" is used, and a comma is placed before "or."
I am very smart, yet I do not enjoy school.
"I am very smart" is an independent clause where "I" is the subject, "am" is the action, and a complete thought is expressed.
"I do not enjoy school" is an independent clause where "I" is the subject, "enjoy" is the action, and a complete thought is expressed.
