  1. Compound Sentences Super fun

  2. Compound Sentences are made of two independent clauses.

  3. Independent Clauses are complete sentences. The cat was sleepy. It fell asleep under the bed.

  4. Compound Sentences Combine the two, choppy sentences (INDEPENDENT CLAUSES) to make one nice, big sentence. The cat was sleepy, so he fell asleep under the bed. If you combine sentences they need to be related- like cousins.

  5. Compound Sentences Can be combined two ways.

  6. Combo #1 , + Conjunction FANBOYS

  7. Comma + Conjunction The cat was sleepy, for he played all day. The cat was sleepy, and he was hungry too. The cat wasn’t sleepy, nor was he hungry. The cat was sleepy, but he couldn’t find a place to sleep. The cat could take a nap, or he could eat dinner. The cat was sleepy, yet he didn’t want to fall asleep yet. The cat was sleepy, so he went to take a nap.
