FOURTH QUARTER
WEEK 5
 COMPOUND SENTENCE
Compound sentences are formed by combining two
independent clauses.
Note that when independent clauses are joined, they need a
coordinating conjunction between them.
Coordinating conjunctions include the following words:
for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so.
 EXAMPLES

-Erin loves her brother, and he loves

her too.
-The dog ran off, but I didn't care.
-I am tall, yet she is short.
COMPLEX SENTENCE
FOURTH QUARTER
WEEK 5
 COMPLEX SENTENCE
When a dependent clause is joined to an independent clause, it forms a
complex sentence. The dependent clause can come either at the
beginning or the end of the sentence.

Note that when you place the dependent clause at the beginning of the
sentence, you need to put a comma after it. When the dependent clause
is at the end of the sentence, no comma is required.
 EXAMPLES
-When I come home, I will eat dinner.
-If you sell the most cookies, you will
win the prize.
-The college gave her a scholarship
because she is so smart.
