▰ A simple sentence contains one
independent clause. An independent
clause has a subject, which is followed by
a verb or a verb phrase. Either subject or
predicate can be simple or compound.

1 subject 1 predicate

COMPOUND SENTENCES
▰ A compound sentence has two
independent clauses joined by a comma
and a coordinating conjunction
(FANBOYS). Each independent clause
could be a sentence by itself, but both are
always connected using a conjunction.
18
Examples:

Maria thinks preparing sandwiches would

delight mom but I think otherwise.

19
Examples:
Independent clause 1

Maria thinks preparing sandwiches

would delight mom but I think
otherwise.
Coordinating Independent clause 2
conjunction 20
Examples:
▰ I want to go to school, but I am sick.
▰ Izobel studied for the exams, so she got good scores.
▰ She ran to the school, but the school was closed.
▰ The food was badly cooked yet the starving boys ate
it with relish.
▰ The farmer worked very hard and reaped a bumper
harvest.
21
 Remember!

Independent clauses can also be connected by a

SEMICOLON
22
Examples:
▰ We went home sad from a failed math test; it was
okay for mom.
▰ She ran to the school; the school was closed.
▰ She got the materials; they were all a waste.
▰ It was the best of times; it was the worst of times.
