COMPOUND SENTENCES

A compound sentence is a sentence that has two independent c auses. An !n$epen$ent*"ause is a group of words which has a subject and a verb and which is ab e to stand a oneas a sentence. When two independent c auses are joined tog her to form one sentence acompound sentence is created.

#ere are some e8amp es of two independent c auses joined to form a compound sentence!". The itt e gir behaved but her brother misbehaved.$. ;) headache became worse so ' too% two aspirins.

&. Carmen arrived ate for her car did not start.

To create a compound sentence join two independent c auses with a comma and a coordinatingconjunction. There are seven coordinating conjunctions!

And D addition a so 7ut D opposition For D becauseBr D choice Nor D none not So D as a resu t@et D neverthe ess but

Two independent c auses ma) a so be joined b) a sem!*o"on 3+6. The semico on ma) be used inp ace of the comma and the coordinating conjunction which are used to join the two independentc auses in a compound sentence. oo% at the fo owing.

Thesecond sentence of each group contains two simp e sentences 3independent c auses6combined into a compound sentence b) a semico on. 'n both cases neverthe ess thesentences remain compound.



4/14

A semico on shou d be used on ) when the !n$epen$ent *"auses being joined are ver)c ose ) re ated in thought. That is when the meaning the sentence wi produce is c ear.Fo owing are a few e8amp es!

". We p a)ed racGuetba in the morning and we p a)ed tennis in the afternoon. Br We p a)ed racGuetba in the morning we p a)ed racGuetba in the afternoon.

COMPLEX SENTENCES

A *omp"e senten*e is a sentence made up of two t)pes of c auses! !n$epen$ent and$epen$ent *"auses . The word !n$epen$ent means 4not under contro of others freeseparate.5 Therefore an !n$epen$ent *"ause !s one that !s *apa)"e o# )e!n- asenten*e . oo% at the fo owing e8amp es!

". ' was ver) ate this morning.$. ;) car needed a new set of tires.&. 't rained a ot this wee%end.

A $epen$ent *"ause is the opposite of an independent c ause. A $epen$ent *"ause*annot stan$ a"one )e*ause !t !s not a *omp"ete senten*e . As the word 4dependent5suggests it is something 4needing support or he p from another.5 A dependent c ause mustdepend on an independent c ause in order to ma%e its meaning comp ete.

". 7ecause the car wou d not start.$. Since it is time to eave.

&. After we ate brea%fast.

These dependent c auses are fragments. Each is missing an independent c ause whichwou d ma%e its meaning comp ete.

A dependent c ause a wa)s begins with a su)or$!nat!n- *on.un*t!on . The subordinatingconjunction is what causes the c ause to become an dependent c ause. The moment asubordinating conjunction is p aced at the beginning of a c ause that c ause can no ongerstand a one it no onger e8presses a comp ete c ear idea. Fo owing is a ist of the mostcommon subordinating conjunctions!

7ecause ' was hungr) ' went to eat unch.

'n this sentence the dependent c ause is because ' was hungr). The c ause begins withthe subordinating conjunction because and it comes at the beginning of the sentence.Since it appears at the beginning of the sentence it is separated from the independentc ause b) a comma. When the dependent c ause comes ast in the sentence then no

comma becomes necessar). oo% at the fo owing.

'n the first sentence the comma appeared after the word hungr). 'n the second sentenceafter we moved the c auses around the word hungr) became the ast word of the sentence.'f we were to p ace the comma in the second sentence it shou d be p aced after the wordhungr) just i%e it was in the first sentence. #owever we *annot do so because a sentencecannot end with a comma it must end with a period. Thus no comma is needed when thedependent c ause appears at the end of the sentence. oo% at the fo owing additionae8amp es.
