A compound sentence contains two or more independent clauses, and no dependent (or subordinate) clause(s). The independent clauses that make up a compound sentence may be connected with a coordinating conjunction, conjunctive adverb, or semicolon.
An adjective is used to bring together two independent clauses that are closely related in thought, in a single sentence. A conjunctive adverb is an adverb that does the same thing.
A conjunctive adverb is an adverb that connects two clauses. Conjunctive adverbs show cause and effect, sequence, contrast, comparison, or other relationships.
No, "slowly" is an adverb that modifies verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. It is not a conjunctive adverb, which are adverbs that connect independent clauses.
A conjunctive adverb is a type of word that may be used with a semicolon to connect independent clauses. These words typically serve as transitions between clauses by indicating a relationship or contrast between the ideas in the clauses. Examples of conjunctive adverbs include "however," "therefore," and "meanwhile."
A semicolon can be used to join two independent clauses, indicating a close relationship between them. A conjunctive adverb (e.g., however, therefore, moreover) can then be used after the semicolon to show the logical connection between the ideas in the clauses. This structure helps to create a smooth transition between the two clauses.
