  1. What you already know • Simple Subject + Simple Predicate = Simple sentence • She sang. • Complete Subject + Complete Predicate = simple sentence • The young girl sang beautifully. • Compound Subject + compound Predicate = simple sentence • Jackie and Trent rode their bikes to the lake and went swimming. • ALL OF THESE SIMPLE SENTENCES ARE CALLED INDEPENDENT CLAUSES

  2. A compound sentence consists of two or more simple sentences joined by • (1) a comma followed by a coordinating conjunction (For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, So): The dog barked, and the cat yowled.

  3. Simple sentence + Simple sentence = COMPOUND sentence Two or more independent (simple) sentences joined by a coordinating conjunction (FANBOYS) For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, So • Tracy cried, andthe other children laughed at her. • Craig and Liz were competitive,butthey just didn’t have what it takes to win.

  4. FOR - is to introduce the reason for the preceding clause • AND - joins two similar ideas together • NOR - it is not used nearly as often as the other conjunctions. Its most common use is as the little brother in the correlative pair, neither-nor • BUT - joins two contrasting ideas together • OR - joins two alternative ideas • YET - is very similar to 'but' as it also joins two contrasting ideas together • SO - shows that the second idea is the result of the first

  5. These conjunctions (FANBOYS) only need a comma if they join two INDEPENDENT CLAUSES • He has been rewarded ________ he was a hero. • Would you like purple ________ blue cotton candy? • My mother told me to clean my room ________ wash the dishes _____ I would be grounded for the weekend. • Who sent the flowers ________ her? • She stayed up all night studying _________ she could pass the exam.

  6. Which conjunction is needed? Is a comma needed? • He calls her stupid _______ she still dates him. • I really like ice cream _________ my favorite desert is chocolate cake. • My sister was always talking on the phone _______ my mom threw it into the lake to get her attention. • Sally received two calls yesterday ___________ both her interviews went really well. • I went to the hospital ________ the doctor could give me a note to miss school.

  7. Practice • In your journal, write one compound sentence using each coordination conjunction (FANBOYS) • Make sure that you are joining two INDEPENDENT CLAUSES and use a comma.
