A compound sentence contains two independent clauses joined by a conjunction (and, but, or) or a coordinator (for, nor, yet, so)

An independent clause is also known as a complete sentence. It contains a subject and a verb. It expresses a complete thought.

Examples of compound sentences are highlighted below:

It was a cold day and it snowed until noon.

Note: "It was a cold day." is a complete sentence that could stand on its own.

"It snowed until noon." is also a complete sentence that could stand on its own.

Tomorrow is Monday but I don't have to work.

Please leave now or you will be late.
