A compound sentence is composed of at least two independent clauses. It does not require a
dependent clause. The clauses are joined by a coordinating conjunction (with or without a comma),
a correlative conjunction (with or without a comma), or a semicolon that functions as a conjunction.
A conjunction can be used to make a compound sentence. The use of a comma to separate two
independent clauses is called a comma splice and is generally considered an error (when used in the
English language .A sentence may be one of four kinds, depending upon the number and
type(s) of clauses it contains.

        Review:

        An independent clause  contains a subject, a verb, and a complete thought.

               

        A dependent clause contains a subject and a verb, but no complete thought.

               

CONJUNCTIONS

4
Conjunctions are words used as joiners. Different kinds of conjunctions join different
kinds of grammatical structures.

The following are the kinds of conjunctions:

       

A. COORDINATING CONJUNCTIONS (FANBOYS)

for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so

Coordinating conjunctions join equals to one another:

            words to words,          phrases to phrases,          clauses to clauses.

         

Coordinating conjunctions usually form looser connections than other conjunctions do.

Coordinating conjunctions go in between items joined, not at the beginning or end.

5
       

Punctuation with coordinating conjunctions:

When a coordinating conjunction joins two words, phrases, or subordinate clauses, no

comma should be placed before the conjunction.

           

A coordinating conjunction joining three or more words, phrases, or subordinate

clauses creates a series and requires commas between the elements.

           

A coordinating conjunction joining two independent clauses creates a compound sentence

and requires a comma before the coordinating conjunction

          

   

        

B. CORRELATIVE CONJUNCTIONS

either. . .or both. . . and

neither. . . nor not only. . .  but also

             

6
These pairs of conjunctions require equal (parallel) structures after each one.

 C. CONJUNCTIVE ADVERBS

These conjunctions join independent clauses together.

The following are frequently used conjunctive adverbs:

after all in addition next

also incidentally nonetheless
as a result indeed on the contrary
besides in fact on the other hand
consequently in other words otherwise
finally instead still
for example likewise then
furthermore meanwhile therefore
hence moreover thus
however nevertheless  

Punctuation: Place a semicolon before the conjunctive adverb and a comma after the
conjunctive adverb.

     

D. SUBORDINATING CONJUNCTIONS

These words are commonly used as subordinating conjunctions

After in order (that) unless

7
 Although insofar as until
As in that when
as far as lest whenever
as soon as no matter how where
as if now that wherever
as though once whether
Because provided (that) while
Before since why
even if so that

even though supposing (that)

How than

If that

inasmuch as though

in case (that) till

Subordinating conjunctions also join two clauses together, but in doing so, they make one
clause dependent (or "subordinate") upon the other.

A subordinating conjunction may appear at a sentence beginning or between two clauses in

a sentence.

8
   

A subordinate conjunction usually provides a tighter connection between clauses than a

coordinating conjunctions does.

Loose: It is raining, so we have an umbrella.

Tight: Because it is raining, we have an umbrella.

Punctuation Note:

When the dependent clause is placed first in a sentence, use a comma between the two clauses.  When the
independent clause is placed first and the dependent clause second, do not separate the two clauses with
comma.

Use a SEMICOLON

(for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so)

   
Example:
   
He promised to reform; a few days later he forgot everything.
   
   
2. Between independent clauses joined by a conjunctive adverb  
   

9
 Example:
   
He promised to reform; however, a few days later he forgot everything.
   
   
3. Between items in a series containing internal punctuation
   
Example:
   
Captain Zero, a television star; Harriet Smith, who writes fiction; and Mel Stevens,

 a world-famous psychiatrist, meet for an hour every Thursday to discuss the

 geopolitical situation.
   
   
4. Between independent clauses containing internal punctuation – even when the clauses are
joined by coordinating conjunctions.
   
Example:
    
To engender self-confidence, we must help others; but to procure love, we must
please them.

USE A COLON       

1. Before formally introducing a list (*An independent clause must precede the colon.)
   
Examples:
   
I ordered the following supplies:  potatoes, sugar, flour, eggs, and coffee.
    
I ordered these supplies:  potatoes, sugar, flour, eggs, and coffee.
    
Theories which try to explain the secrets of fire walking fall into three categories:
physical, psychological, and religious.
   

Incorrect
    
I ordered:  potatoes, sugar, flour, eggs, and coffee.

10
    
On a long ocean voyage be sure to take along:  plenty of books, a deck of cards, 
a chess set, and a warm blanket.

2. Between two independent clauses when the second explains or expands the first

Examples:
   
The leaders made the final decision:  the (The) earthquake victims would receive 
food and medical supplies.
   
The sign was all too clear:  "Do not swim in this area."
     
Here is our honest opinion:  we (We) think you are a genius.

        

3. Before a formal appositive (*An independent clause must precede the colon)

Example:
   
The reaction of the audience signified one overwhelming feeling:  anger.
    
Incorrect
     
The reaction of the audience signified:  anger.

                    

4. Between hour and minute / chapter and verse (Bible)

Examples:
   
At 4:01 p.m. the doors will be opened to the public.
    
You will find those words in Genesis 1: 14-17.
