(A compound sentence consists of two separate thoughts, called "independent clauses," that are joined by aconjunction.)
---
Example 1
I took the test because I wanted to see if I was clever.
I took the test. (makes sense separately)
I wanted to see if I was clever. (makes sense separately)
The conjunction because is the connective word joining them together.
Example 2
We went to watch the team play Baseball, but the game was rained out.
We went to watch the game.
The game was rained out.
The conjunction but is the connective word.
Example 3
When we tried to leave, the car would not start.
We tried to leave.
The car would not start.
The subordinating conjunction when connects the clauses, but the clause that defines when precedes the problem (would not start) in time.
Other examples:
I tried out for cheer leading, and Jane tried out for softball.
I went to bed, so Emma went to a party.
*One way to identify a compound sentence is to look for the coordinating conjunctions represented by the mnemonic FANBOYS : For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, So.
