COMPOUND AND COMPLEX SENTENCES SHOWING CAUSE-AND-EFFECT

 COMPOUND SENTENCES are made up of two simple sentences connected by a

coordinating conjunction. These conjunctions are also known as FANBOYS:
F – for B - but
A – and O- or
N – nor Y - yet
S - so

 A cause-and-effect relationship describes something that happens and explains why it

happens.

The effect tells us what happens. The cause tells us why it happens.
Compound sentences show cause and effect relationship.

Example: Kyle presented his report logically so he got a high rating.

Cause Effect
 COMPLEX SENTENCES are made up of an independent clause and a dependent
clause. The dependent clause begins with a subordinating conjunction. They may be
used to show cause-and-effect relationship. The words that show this relationship are
after, although, before, because, due to, even though, if, unless, while, when, since, so
that, and that’s why, .

Example: We can’t go to school these days because of COVID-19 pandemic.
