Transcript compound sentence

Happy Monday!! Add these
definitions to your grammar notes
 A simple sentence consists of one
independent clause. An independent
clause contains a subject and a
predicate and expresses a complete
thought.
Ex: I went to the amusement park on
Saturday.
 A compound sentence consists of
two or more independent clauses
that are connected by a comma and
a coordinating conjunction (for, and,
nor, but, or, yet, so). A semi-colon
may be used instead of a comma
and FANBOYS.
Ex: I went to the amusement park on
Saturday, but my brother stayed
home.
Combine each sentence pair below to make a
compound sentence. Remember that you
need two separate subjects, two separate
verbs, and a FANBOYS conjunction.
1. Halloween is a scary holiday. I dress up
for Halloween every year.
2. Fall is a time for family and football. The
cooler weather means it’s finally time to
wear warmer clothes.
3. We only have four days of school this
week. There will still be a lot of work to
complete.
