Learning Objective
I can join two short sentences using "and," "but," or "because."
- 1
A compound sentence is formed when two independent clauses are joined by a coordinating conjunction.
- 2
An independent clause is the same as a complete sentence, which includes a subject and a predicate.
- 3
Coordinating conjunctions act like glue to hold two independent clauses together in a compound sentence; examples include and, but, and so.
